Building Maria a garden office: Part One
A garden room built completely from scratch. No kit, no flat pack. Kieran and Andy have built this one from the ground up.
This is a project Kieran has been eating, sleeping and dreaming about. Heβs loved every minute of it, and itβs been a pleasure watching him get stuck into something thatβs been a genuine challenge. Heβs also, letβs be honest, anal AF, so every detail is top tier. Not a corner cut anywhere.
And weβve built the whole thing around installations, customers, and the small matter of MOVING AN ENTIRE PREMISES AFTER 45 YEARS. So yes, weβve been busy.
Thinking about a garden office or home office at the bottom of the garden? Hereβs what weβve learnt so far:
Insulation is everything. Weβve packed this out, floor, walls and roof. An under insulated garden room is freezing in January and unusable in July. Itβs the difference between a room you work in every day and a very expensive shed. Itβs also the part nobody sees, which is exactly why itβs the first thing people cut to save money.
Shade the glass from the outside, not the inside. Blinds are going in, but once sunlight is through the glass the heat is already in the room. Weβre looking at a pergola with a moveable canopy over the French doors so we can block the summer sun and still let the winter sun in.
Think about air con before you close the walls up. After this summer, we wish weβd run the cable and left a capped duct through the wall while everything was still open. Much more of a faff once itβs plastered, painted and clad.
Coming in Part Two: plastering, painting, second fix electrics and the flooring going down.
Anyone put a pergola with a retractable canopy over French doors? Weβd love to hear what worked π
Follow along to see Part Two! π

Tucked away in a cul-de-sac in a Cambridgeshire village is a sleek side duplex annexe to a detached 1970s house. Built partially over an existing garage, and set within a modest size rear garden, the annexe calmly blends into its two-storey host. External finishes are unified, with wall and roof clad in intriguing charcoal coloured diamond shaped tiles.
The double-height space features a glass, steel and timber staircase leading to a light and airy mezzanine with a cantilevered balcony. Daylight floods the interior of the double height space through a large north facing glazed façade, minimizing solar gain.
Two generous openable skylights in the roof which maintain a feel of the passing day and the changing light, providing essential cross ventilation at mezzanine level and purging stratified heat at height.
