Make Some Space with a Garden Studio.

If space is tight in your home but moving is an unwelcome thought, the solution could lie just outside your door – in your garden. Garden studios are a new architectural concept designed to make the most of the space you have available for exactly the purpose you need. Designed specifically for you, they can be used as whatever you want them to be – from a library to a waiting room – with whichever fixtures and fittings are necessary, all using sustainable materials and low energy heating. Garden studios are not only designed to be green in the environmental sense but they also blend in with the natural environment of your garden thanks to features such as plant covered roofs and cedar wood walls.

In a volatile housing market, investing in a garden studio is also a wonderful way to increase the value of your property in financial, practical and aesthetic terms. Thanks to the fixed construction costs, which are decided at the design stage, you know exactly what you’re paying and the average cost of a garden studio is far lower than the cost of extending your house or moving to a new one. It’s unlikely you’ll need planning permission to build one and the majority of the construction is completed off site, minimising both hassle and expense.

Garden studios are especially popular as home office spaces as they offer busy professionals the opportunity to eliminate their commute, design their office the way they want it and remove the distractions of working in the family home – but they can also be adapted to accommodate home comforts such as wood stoves, sleeping space and play areas. So if you’ve been craving more space but you’re attached to your current home, a garden studio could be the perfect way to solve the problem.
