Garden Bar and Games Room in Essex

The building was designed to be 7.8m wide to maximise the available space. With a depth of 3.5m, it stayed under the required 30sqm, totalling around 27sqm. Due to its proximity to property boundaries, the building had to be under 2.5m in height, and the adjacent walls needed to be fire-rated.

After ensuring compliance with all regulations, we designed a bespoke garden room tailored to the client's needs. To match the house, the garden room featured anthracite-coloured blinds for privacy and a neat solution for the bi-folding doors.

The entire building was colour-matched and clad with MTX, offering a 10-year guarantee. The garden room was divided into three sections: a 1.2m x 2.5m garden storage area at the front-left, a 1.2m x 1m insulated dry store behind it, and the main room measuring 6.6m x 3.5m.

As with all Bakers' garden rooms, the walls, roof, and floor were insulated, and high-specification doors and windows were added. An upgraded wet room laminate floor was installed, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning, especially with children running in and out. The walls were lined with V-600 and V-1200 ceiling insulation and painted in 'Silver Row'.

A few months later, we upgraded the electric convector heater to an air source heat pump, providing heating and cooling options, making the garden room comfortable year-round.
