Do you dream of having an artist’s studio on your doorstep? Or are you looking to create a peaceful home office?
Garden rooms have been gaining popularity since the early 2000s thanks to a number of reasons, one of which is the Covid pandemic. Because of a rise in home working, more of us want a peaceful retreat where we can work productively, yet easily return to the house when needed.
The way we use our gardens has also changed a great deal. People don’t just use garden rooms as offices, but as spaces for hobbies, gyms, studios and relaxation. Nothing beats having a personal retreat within your own property.
A family-run company, Crusoe Garden Rooms believe in creating garden rooms which enhance your lifestyle and are a long-term investment. Check out our before and after pictures and you’ll see how we can magically transform a space.
All our garden rooms are constructed on-site by an experienced team using traditional timber framing methods.
A room for all seasons.
Another reason garden rooms are more popular is because the materials and technology have improved. It’s more affordable to create a space which is well-insulated, energy efficient, and long-lasting.
Here at Crusoe Garden Rooms, we can create a space which is suitable for use all year round.
Our team would love to work with you to create your dream garden room.
Crusoe Garden Rooms loves helping our clients get creative when designing their new space. We’ve worked with a wide range of clients over the years, including those looking to create stunning art studios.
Recent projects included working with a couple who wanted a design with two studios, so they can work separately but close together.
Where should my new garden room be built?
The first step before hitting the drawing board is deciding where your building will go. Here are a few ways you can transform different parts of your garden:
Secluded corners are ideal if you’re after a tranquil, private space.
These are especially great for home offices, meditation rooms or reading nooks. Since these areas often have natural shade, they’re usually comfortable throughout the day.
We can work with you to ensure your garden room blends in with the existing trees and shrubs.
Some people like to have their building near water features, which help to create a soothing ambience.
Adjacent to the main house.
Having a garden room here will give you easy access. This is particularly ideal if it’s used for dining, as a home office, or guest accommodation. It means you’re extending your living space and making it feel like a seamless part of your home.
These spaces can easily double as a transition area between the indoors and outdoors, such as a sunroom or conservatory.
Places with plenty of sunshine.
If you’re looking to have an art studio, plenty of natural light is beneficial. An open space allows for panoramic views of the garden, enhancing the feeling of being immersed in nature. Our rooms can be designed with features like bi-fold doors to enjoy the space both in warm and cooler weather.
Create a magical woodland retreat.
If you have a wooded area, this is often a great place for a garden room. It enables you to feel a deeper connection with nature, which is particularly great if you’re creating a retreat or wellness space.
These locations are perfect for bird watching or observing other wildlife, giving you a serene, natural experience. The surrounding trees and foliage can also create a cosy atmosphere, even in the depths of winter,
At the end of the garden path.
Placing a garden room at the end of a path creates a sense of journey and discovery, making it an inviting and special destination. The path leading to the room can be lined with plants, flowers, or lighting, to make it even more magical.
This location can turn the garden room into a focal point of your garden, making it look intriguing or dramatic.
Places with stunning views.
A small hill can provide stunning views of the entire garden or surrounding landscape, making it an ideal location for a garden room with large windows.
This will help you create a distinct area that feels separate from the rest of the garden; in other words, more of an ‘escape’.
Our team can help you choose the right area for your new garden room, considering factors such as your lifestyle, available sunlight, proximity to the main house, and the surrounding environment. We will then work with you to create a garden room that is both beautiful and functional.
