The Brief: Functionality Meets Aesthetics

The client approached us with a clear vision: they needed a dedicated, quiet space to work from home year-round. A traditional extension wasn’t suitable due to planning restrictions and cost considerations, so a detached garden office presented an ideal solution. Crucially, they wanted the new structure to complement the existing aesthetic of their property, which featured flat-format cladding in a thermally modified timber finish.

After discussing the client’s functional needs, design preferences, and intended use, we recommended one of our Eco Pods—an elegant, energy-efficient model that could be tailored to fit the exact site dimensions and finish requirements. The compact footprint of the Eco Pod made it ideal for the garden layout, while its modern design offered excellent thermal performance and minimal maintenance.

Bespoke Design for Seamless Integration

Our Eco Pods typically come with a signature stepped-profile cladding, but in this case, we customised the finish to feature thermally modified timber cladding in a flat format. This subtle but impactful adjustment ensured the new building would visually align with the client’s existing structures. By mirroring the flat cladding style, we were able to create a cohesive visual flow from the main house to the new garden office, achieving a sense of continuity across the property.

This level of customisation is what sets our bespoke garden rooms apart. Every detail - from external finishes to internal configurations - can be tailored to suit the client’s needs, creating a space that feels both purposeful and personal.

Quality Materials for Long-Term Performance

Thermally modified timber was chosen not just for aesthetic consistency but also for its durability and environmental benefits. The thermal modification process improves the timber’s stability, making it more resistant to rot, insects, and weathering—perfect for a building exposed to the British climate.

Additionally, the timber’s rich colour and uniform grain provided a refined, contemporary appearance that complemented the Pod’s minimalist architecture. The result is a low-maintenance, high-performance façade that will maintain its beauty for years to come.

Internally, the space was finished to the same high standards, with premium insulation, natural lighting, and integrated electrics that support the full functionality of a garden office. From early morning calls to late-night project work, the space now offers a peaceful, productive environment separated from the distractions of the main house.

Installation and Project Timeline

The project was completed within the agreed timeframe, allowing the client to move into their new garden office just as summer began. Thanks to our streamlined design and installation process, site disruption was kept to a minimum. The building was prefabricated off-site and installed quickly, meaning the client didn’t have to endure prolonged noise or mess in their garden.

Throughout the build, we maintained close communication with the client, providing regular updates and ensuring their feedback was incorporated at every stage. From the initial design consultation to the final handover, the project was a true collaboration—a hallmark of all our bespoke garden rooms.

A Tranquil, Year-Round Workspace

The final result is a beautifully integrated garden office that ticks every box: privacy, style, comfort, and functionality. Nestled in the mature landscape of a Lincolnshire garden, the Eco Pod now serves as a vital extension of the client’s lifestyle—supporting both their work and wellbeing.

What makes this project especially rewarding is how effortlessly the new structure blends into its setting. The use of matching thermally modified timber cladding ensures the pod feels like a natural part of the property, rather than an afterthought. This is where bespoke garden rooms really shine: by adapting to the client’s existing architecture and needs, we’re able to create truly tailored solutions that elevate both form and function.

Client Feedback

The client expressed their delight at the completed build, particularly praising the attention to detail in matching the cladding and the overall quality of the finish.

“We’re thrilled with our new garden office—it looks like it’s always been here. The team really listened to what we wanted and made sure everything was just right. I now have a quiet space to work, away from the house, and it’s made a huge difference to my productivity and peace of mind.”
