Creating garden buildings that belong to the property.
Garden rooms, offices and studios designed around how you want to use them, how you want them to feel and where they belong within the property.
A garden building can create valuable additional space, but its success depends on more than its internal dimensions.
We consider how it will be used, how it should feel and how its position, orientation, access, views, privacy, materials, services and surrounding landscape relate to the wider property.
Begin with what the building needs to provide.
A garden building can become a home office, studio, gym, wellness space, entertaining room, workshop, pool house or simply additional space for everyday life. Whatever its purpose, the value of the building comes from what it adds to the way you live.
The building should belong to the place.
A garden building changes more than the space inside it. Its position can affect views from the house, privacy, sunlight, planting, routes through the garden and the amount of usable outdoor space around it. We look at the building from both directions—how it sits within the garden and what the garden feels like from inside it.
Architecture, landscape and construction developed together.
A garden building cannot be separated from the ground it sits on or the landscape that surrounds it. Because our experience extends across buildings and landscapes, we can consider those relationships together rather than resolving the building first and trying to make the garden fit around it afterwards.
Services should support the way you use it.
Power, data, lighting, heating, cooling, water and drainage can all affect the construction and the routes through the surrounding garden. We plan for those requirements early so that they support the way the building will actually be used rather than becoming additions afterwards.
