Combination Garden Office, Lounge and Storage in Kent

After an initial quotation and site survey, the client visited our main show centre where we talked through all their requirements and the options available. The family were all able to add their opinion and wishes to ensure the finished building would be perfect for everyone.

As the TV was a fundamental part of the building, we designed the whole right hand side of it around it, with windows both sides and all the cables hidden.

The plan was to build the combination garden room on a pre-existing patio. As we didn't know what the patio sub-structure was made of, we broke through it, allowing us to install our standard steel and timber frame, confident of a solid, long term foundation.

The building itself is a 23x13ft combination garden room and store (the garden room is 17ft and the store 6ft) with UPVC sliding doors with matching shiplap cladding in the RAL 7016 (Anthracite).

Internally the building is finished with the v-groove 200 in Angora acrylic eggshell, and the floor is one of our latest timber laminate additions in Florence. Our recently-introduced EPDM roof was also included, giving fantastic height throughout the building, while keeping within the 2.5 planning rule.

Full electrics, communications and automation package

As well as a comprehensive electrics package, we also installed all the communications the family needed, including internet, TV and phone.

The client also added our light-wave home automation package, giving them full control of all their lights and sockets from an app on their mobile phone. This includes memory and mood settings, along with timers and more.

To finish the building off, we made trellis infills to the left and rear right, with guttering off the roof and diverted in to a water butt, before leading to a soak away.
