Self-Contained Annexes, Guest Bedrooms & Suites
Garden annexes offer comfortable, independent living spaces for relatives or guests, with layouts that can range from compact guest bedrooms to larger multi-room homes. These buildings are designed for year-round use, with insulation, heating, and finishes suitable for everyday living.
Annexe specialists understand the additional requirements of creating accommodation in the garden, from kitchens and shower rooms to accessibility features and multi-bedroom layouts. They also advise on the appropriate approval route — whether that’s Full Householder Planning Permission and Building Regulations, or mobile-home annexes built under the Caravan Act.
Explore designers experienced in shaping practical, private homes that feel connected to the garden.
Garden Workspaces Designed for Year-Round Use
A garden office offers a dedicated place to work away from household distractions. These buildings are designed to feel comfortable throughout the year, balancing glazing, insulation, heating, and ventilation to create a productive environment.
Layouts can be shaped around your working style — from single-desk setups to multi-desk spaces or offices with integrated storage or meeting areas. Practical considerations such as lighting, electrics, and options for hard-wired internet connectivity are also planned in from the start.

Garden Exercise Spaces Tailored to Your Routine
A garden gym gives you the freedom to train at home with the space and privacy you need. These buildings typically include durable flooring, moisture-resistant finishes, and well-balanced ventilation to support everyday workouts.
For more specialised routines, designers can incorporate taller rooflines for extra headroom, foundations suited to heavier equipment, or layouts that separate cardio, weights, and stretching zones. Lighting, glazing, and electrics can also be planned to enhance how the space feels while you exercise.

Garden Creative Spaces Shaped Around Light & Workflow
A garden art studio provides a dedicated place to create, free from the constraints of working inside the home. These buildings can be designed to maximise natural light, with options such as north-facing glazing, rooflights, or large windows depending on your craft.
Practical features — from wipe-clean surfaces and sink areas to storage for materials and tools — can be planned into the layout. Designers also consider ventilation and workable wall space, helping you stay comfortable whether you paint, sculpt, sew, or work across multiple mediums.

Garden Music Rooms for Listening, Playing & Recording
Garden rooms are a popular choice for music spaces — whether you want a room for listening, practising, rehearsing, or teaching. Their standard multi-layer construction offers a helpful level of sound reduction for occasional use, making them suitable for many musical activities from the start.
For more committed musicians and teachers, some companies offer enhanced acoustic specifications. These can include extra insulation and mass layers, acoustic membranes, and resilient bars to reduce vibration transfer. Many specialists also offer upgraded acoustic joinery, combining double-layer doors and windows with the option of a soundlock entrance, and for the highest levels of isolation, fully decoupled ‘room within a room’ structures.
Everyday Garden Living Spaces to Relax & Unwind
A garden sitting room creates a comfortable place to retreat to, whether that’s a quiet reading spot, a home cinema, a family room, or a space for teenagers to relax. These buildings are designed for year-round comfort, with balanced insulation, heating, and glazing to make them feel homely.
Layouts can be planned around furniture placement, AV equipment, or bringing in light and views of the garden. Some companies also offer options such as vaulted ceilings, multiple rooms, or small cloakrooms depending on how you expect to use the space.

Garden Social Spaces for Dining, Bars & Games Rooms
A garden entertainment room offers a dedicated space for hosting family and friends — from garden bars and year-round dining rooms to games rooms, snooker rooms, or multi-purpose social spaces. These buildings are designed with comfort and flow in mind, balancing glazing, lighting, and heating to make gatherings enjoyable in every season.
Designers can tailor layouts for seating, dining, bar areas, or AV equipment, with thoughtful details such as storage, worktops, or a full kitchen where needed. Some companies also consider how the building connects with the garden to enhance outdoor entertaining.

What will your garden room or annexe become?
Explore the specialists who can turn your ideas into a space you’ll love.
A garden room or annexe can be shaped into almost anything — a workspace, a creative studio, a place to relax, a room for entertaining, or even a fully self-contained home for a family member or guests. The challenge is knowing which companies can genuinely deliver what you have in mind.
Not every company covers the whole of the UK, and many specialise in particular types of buildings. It’s easy to lose time exploring designers who don’t work in your area or who aren’t experienced in the features you need — whether that’s acoustic upgrades for a music room, taller ceilings for a gym, or the additional services required for a living annexe.
The Garden Room & Annexe Directory helps you focus on the companies who can take on your project. Some may not be based nearby, but they have installation teams who are, and they’re well practised in managing projects across the UK. Each listing gives you a clear picture of the company’s approach, the specification they work to, and examples of their completed buildings. And if you see a company you like, you can save them to your wishlist and revisit them later.
Use the sections above to explore designers experienced in the type of space you want to create — helping you move from ideas to a realistic plan with the right team behind it.
