Our customer came to us wanting a timber outbuilding to replace an old and dilapidated garage at the end of the family garden. The garage was accessed from a service lane at the back of the Victorian property, and as such was no longer used as a garage, but an important access point for furniture and the like, and also created a screen for privacy. The brief was to create a building that would be warm, insulated, to be able to be used as a gym, and a family area for entertaining.
The family drew up their wish list, and we were able to sketch out our interpretation of their building. With a few tweeks, working closely with them this is the timber building they have.
The timber panel on the far side of the open area, backs onto the service lane. This is a removable panel, enabling full access to the house to remove or bring in bulky items. It was built with this intention, but also to provide privacy, and look as an integral part of the timber outbuilding.
The covered veranda area, a great place for outdoor entertaining, has a flue, enabling the area to be used for cooking and fire pits regardless of the weather.
The interior space can be opened out onto the veranda, or used as a home office or gym. Fully insulated and lined, it is a an outbuilding that fulfills the needs of this family.
