Corner Garden Rooms
Do you worry that the shape or layout of your garden means you can’t have a garden room? Many homeowners assume that an awkwardly shaped or compact garden limits their options, but at Bakers, we specialise in creating tailored garden rooms that make the most of every inch of space.
Why Have a Corner Garden Room?
Positioning your corner garden room or office in the corner of your garden is one of the best ways to make the most of your outdoor space without it feeling overwhelming. Whether you have a small corner garden room in a compact city garden, an awkwardly shaped plot, or a large rural space, a well-designed modern corner garden room offers a functional, stylish, and space-saving solution.
When considering the placement of the building in the corner, there are a few important factors to take into account.
Design
When positioning your garden room in a corner, it’s important to think about how doors and windows are placed. You want to maximise natural light while ensuring the internal layout remains practical and spacious. Some companies offer five-sided buildings with angled doors, but we find this can reduce valuable internal space. Instead, a dual-aspect design, where doors open onto two sides of the garden, offers the best of both worlds:
- Maximised internal space for a practical and comfortable layout
- A light and airy feel with plenty of natural daylight
- A seamless connection between your garden and the building
To further enhance brightness, consider adding a roof light. This is a fantastic way to introduce even more natural light into the space, especially in gardens where side-facing windows may be limited.
Regulations
Many homeowners are unaware that where you position your garden room can be affected by building regulations. If you want your garden room to sit in a corner, here’s what you need to know:
- For buildings under 15 square metres, you can generally place them directly against boundaries. However, if you choose an external cladding that requires ongoing maintenance, you’ll need to leave a gap for future access.
-
For buildings between 15 and 30 square metres, regulations require a 1-metre fire gap between the structure and your boundary fence. This can be a big issue if you’re trying to position your building tightly into a corner.
So how can you solve these problems and still achieve a corner placement?
By using Class A fire-rated, zero-maintenance cladding, we can position your building right up against your boundary while fully complying with regulations. These materials mean:
- No need for a fire gap, so your garden room stays neatly in the corner
- No maintenance required, eliminating the need for future access
-
A durable, long-lasting solution that looks great for years to come
Making the Most of Small London Gardens
For many London homeowners, outdoor space is at a premium. Garden rooms often span the full width of the property, stretching into both rear corners to create as much internal space as possible.
However, leaving gaps for maintenance or fire safety can be a major issue in these compact urban gardens and sometimes make it impossible to position a garden room as intended. That’s why using fire-rated, zero-maintenance materials is crucial in these situations.
