Bifold
With the spare room now being used as their new baby’s room, space was at a premium in our client’s property, whose priority was to create much needed extra storage for household items, space for an office and a home for their exercise bike.
Half office, half store
Features
Due to a lack of building space, the client was looking for a company that could prefabricate a garden room and crane it into position, and Outsiders Garden Rooms rose to the occasion.
With a design that made the most of the available space adjacent to the couple’s patio, we knew we could deliver on all fronts, and the resulting multi-purpose half store, half home office is a triumph of compact planning that ticked all the boxes.
…The process with Outsiders was really seamless from start to finish…
With an impressive amount of floor space to accommodate a tool station, shelving, exercise equipment, the family bikes and a fridge freezer, the store room section of the garden room is a shed lover’s dream. But why have a shed when you can have a hidden-away, handsome home store that’s fully insulated, secure, watertight and with a power supply and smart lighting.
Next door, the workspace has enough room for a desk, the exercise bike and even a bed for the family pup. Bi-fold doors open onto elegant slate paving, while Cedar cladding compliments the warm red brick of the house and is continued on to a handmade, hidden access gate. By night, brushed steel exterior downlighters and recessed canopy spotlights throw an atmospheric glow over the patio and set the scene for outdoor entertaining.
We’re proud to say that this lodge works hard to truly maximise the available garden space. Watch the video below to see our clients verdict!
The Outsider’s Verdict
At Outsiders, we pride ourselves on turning challenges into beautiful, functional spaces, and this project in Ongar is a perfect example of that. It was a real pleasure working with Chris and his family to create a solution that met their growing needs – blending storage, workspace, and style in one seamless, bespoke garden room.
Hearing Chris describe the process as ‘first class’ and ‘seamless’ means the world to us. Our team puts a lot of care and detail into every build, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see our clients not only happy but delighted with the end result.
Thank you, Chris, for trusting us with your vision and for your kind words. We’re proud to have helped make your home work better for your family’s future.”
