The Project
Mr and Mrs B came to us with a planned garden entertainment space, drawn up by their garden designer. Along with a patio area and outdoor kitchen it also included a large garden room.
The client's requirements were that this garden room be as large as possible with openings on both the front and side of the building - giving it full integration with the garden and entertainment area.
The Work
After having conducted our comprehensive site survey, we were able to offer the customer full and detailed quotations of several available options. A subsequent visit to our extensive showground helped them decide on all the building options.
They selected the 'Signal grey colour and decided to match the bi-folding doors with this colour. The building's right side has an extra set of doors set amidst full length double glazed windows.
The building is 6m x 4.5m bringing it under the 30m² building regulation rule. We also kept the entire building including our steel and timber framed base under 2.5m. As the left-hand side of the building was within 1m of the boundary, this was made from a non-combustible fire protection wall. We were able to complete this entire project without consultation to planning or building control.
Along with the Sadolin Superdec external preservative in 'Signal Grey' with matching 4200mm wide bi-folding doors, the internal laminate flooring chosen was our 'Silver Oak' which has a matching grey groove. This - together with the Vgroove200 MDF internal boarding painted in 'Angora' - makes for a beautiful building.
The Result
Working in parallel with our customer's electrical team, we installed LED down lights with a dusk sensor fitted to the outside lights, as well as two heaters and sockets. All the communications from the main house were run to the garden room to fully integrate and equip it with all the tech devices. This included a wall mounted tv connected to the home's internet and SKY, ceiling speakers and external speakers independently zoned from the home with Wi-Fi capability and security. All wiring and cabling were concealed in cavities to give a beautiful clean feel to the building without compromising on its usability.
Once the building was complete, the landscape company completed the surrounding patio and finished the kitchen area, totally transforming the bottom of the garden into a beautiful all year-round entertainment area.
