Case Study: A Modern Corner Garden  Room

Versatile Garden Room Retreat in Quarries Village, Kilmalcolm

The Challenge

Our client in Quarries Village, Kilmalcolm, desired a versatile garden room that could serve as both a functional office space and comfortable guest accommodation for visiting family. The space needed to be modern, aesthetically pleasing, and seamlessly integrate with the existing garden, while maximising the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

The Solution

A bespoke 5m x 5m x 2.5m angled garden room was designed and constructed, featuring:


  • Elevated Position: The structure was built on top of an existing patio, elevating it to take advantage of the panoramic views of the garden's clock tower and surrounding landscape.
  • Durable and Stylish Cladding: Oak vertical composite cladding was chosen for its durability, low maintenance, and natural aesthetic, blending harmoniously with the garden environment.
  • Robust Foundation: A concrete insulated reinforced base ensured a stable and long-lasting structure, while also providing excellent thermal insulation for year-round comfort.
  • Abundant Natural Light: A 4m sliding patio door floods the interior with natural light and creates a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
  • Functional and Eco-Friendly: A compost toilet was incorporated, providing convenient facilities while minimizing environmental impact.
  • Modern Amenities: A 2kW ceramic smart heater ensures efficient and controllable heating for year-round comfort.
  • Ambient Lighting: An exterior overhang with downlighting creates a welcoming atmosphere and extends the usability of the space into the evenings.
  • Turnkey Finish: The garden room was delivered with a complete "turnkey" finish, including all necessary interior and exterior finishes, ready for immediate use.


Results

The completed garden room provides the client with a beautiful and functional space that perfectly meets their needs. It offers a peaceful and productive environment for work, while also providing a comfortable and welcoming space for guests. The project demonstrates how a well-designed garden room can seamlessly blend with its surroundings and enhance the overall enjoyment of a property.


Future Enhancements:

To further enhance the garden room and its surroundings, the project includes plans for:

  • Sunrise Patio: Stone steps leading down to a new patio area will be constructed, providing a tranquil spot to enjoy the morning sunrise.
