One Coordinated Design

A Room To Use. A Store To Rely On.

A garden room with storage solves two problems without asking your garden to accommodate two unrelated buildings.

The main room can become an office, gym, studio or flexible living space. Alongside it, a separately accessed store keeps tools, bicycles, garden furniture and equipment secure and away from the finished interior.

Because Oakspan designs both spaces together, the roofline, cladding, foundations, drainage, doors and access can be considered as one complete project.

01

More Usable Space

Keep equipment out of the finished room without needing a separate freestanding shed elsewhere in the garden.

02

Better Organisation

Plan shelving, hooks, lighting and floor space around the items you actually intend to store.

03

One Exterior Finish

The room and storage share a coordinated roofline, cladding system and architectural appearance.

04

Designed Around Access

Door positions and pathways are considered around the garden, equipment size and everyday movement.

Designed Around Your Garden

Choose How Your Storage Works.

The right arrangement depends on the plot, the main room and what needs to be stored. Kevin considers this during the site visit rather than forcing the project into a standard template.

01

Integrated Side Store

The finished room sits beside a full-height, separately accessed storage area.

02

Rear Storage Area

Storage can sit behind the main room where the plot or preferred glazing makes this more practical.

03

Equipment Store

A secure area for bicycles, tools, golf equipment, gym accessories or garden machinery.

04

Internal Utility Storage

Built-in cupboards, shelving or an internal store can be included where convenient access is required.

Storage Without Compromise

Keep The Main Room Clear, Comfortable And Ready To Use.

Integrated storage protects the quality of the finished room. Work, exercise and everyday living no longer compete with bicycles, tools or garden furniture.

01

A Cleaner Finished Interior

The room stays focused on the activity it was designed for.

02

Secure External Access

Access equipment directly from the garden without carrying it through the room.

03

Better Use Of The Plot

One combined building uses the available footprint more coherently.

04

Future Flexibility

The layout is planned around shelving, larger items and changing requirements.

Real Oakspan Transformation

From Old Shed To Office And Side Store.

This 7.2m × 4m project combined a year-round garden office with a dedicated side storage room. Anthracite composite cladding, a 4m sliding patio door, decking and new fencing brought the room and garden together.

Storage Alongside The Space You Actually Want.

The storage area supports the main room rather than defining it. Oakspan can design a garden office with integrated storage, a private garden gym, a flexible bespoke garden studio or a multifunctional family room.

Partitions, sockets, lighting, wired internet and WC facilities can be considered where the site and final specification allow.

Site, Access And Permissions

Plan The Storage Before Fixing The Footprint.

The store needs enough width and depth for the items it will hold, but it must also work with garden access, boundaries, drainage and door positions.

Some projects may fall within permitted-development rules while others require additional checks. This depends on the property, building position, height, footprint and local restrictions.

✓
What Needs To Be Stored?

Bicycles, machinery and furniture need different doors and clearances.

✓
Where Should The Door Go?

Paths, gates and boundaries influence the most practical position.

✓
Does The Store Need Power?

Lighting and sockets can be planned for charging and evening access.

✓
How Will The Garden Connect?

Levels, drainage, paving, fencing and landscaping are considered before construction.

Garden Room Storage Questions

Useful Answers Before You Begin.

Common questions about combining a finished garden room with practical integrated storage.

What is a garden room with integrated storage?
It is one coordinated building containing a finished garden room and a dedicated storage area. The storage usually has its own external entrance.
Can the storage area have a separate entrance?
Yes. A separate lockable door lets you access tools, bicycles and equipment without passing through the finished room.
Is the main garden room insulated?
Yes. The main Oakspan room is designed as an insulated, finished space for regular year-round use.
Can the side store have lighting and sockets?
Yes. Lighting, sockets and equipment-charging points can be included in the agreed electrical design.
Can Oakspan build a garden office with storage?
Yes. The office can be planned around desks, glazing and connectivity while the adjoining store keeps equipment separate.
Do I need planning permission in Scotland?
This depends on the property, position, height, footprint and local restrictions. Some projects may qualify as permitted development while others require approval.
How much does a garden room with storage cost?
Cost depends on the combined footprint, storage size, site access, groundwork, glazing, cladding and internal specification.
Can Oakspan replace an existing garden shed?
Often, yes. Oakspan first assesses the existing structure, access, ground conditions and disposal requirements.

Size Matters

Don't feel boxed in! Pick a garden office that's slightly larger than your immediate needs. Ample space boosts productivity, reduces stress, and lets you adapt your work environment as you grow.

Room Design

From rustic log cabins to glass-walled havens, your garden office can be a bespoke extension of your personality. Imagine sunlight streaming through leafy branches onto your wooden desk, or hosting productive meetings in a sleek, glass-walled studio

Office Room Size

The size of the room is an important factor to consider when planning a garden office. It should be spacious enough to accommodate your furniture and other items, as well as provide adequate ventilation. It is best to choose a room that is slightly bigger than what you think you need, to ensure that you are comfortable

 

Room Design

When it comes to the design of a garden office, there are many options to choose from. You can opt for a traditional building, or a modern, minimalistic garden room. You can also create a space that is designed to fit in with your outdoor environment. When it comes to office furniture, you can choose from a range of designs and materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic. You should ensure that your furniture is suitable for the environment and is comfortable to use. 

Electrics

To ensure that your garden office is comfortable and productive, it is important to consider the electrics. This includes power and wiring for lights, sockets, and heating. You should also consider installing a broadband connection as well as any other technology that you need to work effectively. 

Insulation

Insulation is an important factor to consider when designing a garden office. This helps to keep the room at a comfortable temperature, while also reducing energy bills. When it comes to garden offices, there are many insulation materials to choose from to cover your roof, walls and flooring.


It is also important to ensure that the building is insulated from the outside. This can be achieved by using a variety of materials such as cladding, insulation boards, or even a double wall system. This helps to protect the office from the elements and ensures that it is comfortable to use.  

Windows & Doors

Windows & Doors are an important part of any garden room office. Patio doors, bifold doors, and French doors are all popular choices for garden room offices. These doors are usually double glazed, providing an insulated and secure locking system. Natural light is allowed to enter the space, creating a pleasant and inspiring atmosphere. These doors also allow users to easily transition from inside to outside, allowing them to enjoy the beauty of nature while still working in an ultra-modern and comfortable office space.

Conclusion

The garden room office provides a unique and comfortable working environment, combining the convenience of a traditional office with the calming atmosphere of a garden space. It allows users to enjoy natural light, fresh air and calming views of nature, providing an inspiring and productive space. The insulation helps to ensure that the office space remains comfortable, while also blocking out external noise and distractions. The garden room office is an ideal solution for those who want to work in a peaceful, natural and comfortable environment.
