Garden Rooms
Given the hectic lifestyle of Britain and lack of space to escape. Living green studios offers not just a green option for space but assists in anyone looking for a space for a Garden Office, Playroom or an Entertainment facility. These designs are fully insulated, with power sockets and heating to sustain the studios all year round. Please contact below to get an onsite inspection.
We also develop a bespoke design to suit your requirements. Go to "Your Choice" for more details.
The Office
Our premier design is "The Office". Ideal for the office worker who needs flexibility with home life and desires a more balanced lifestyle. If you have had enough of Train strikes, raised train fees and generally sick of commuting everyday. Ideal space for a individual who wants to be around home but not contest their personal home with an office. The garden studio "The Office" is perfect
The Family
The Family room is ideal for a kids playroom or a study. Having a large sliding door at the front it is large enough for parents to see whats going on from the house. It also has high windows and generous wall space for desks and furniture.
The Entertainer
The entertainer is essentially a big wide room which we like to finish off with wall to wall glass sliding doors. It can also be finished off with a raised decking to continue the entertaining area. We also make bespoke bars for this type of room.
