BillyOh Garden Rooms

You can install a bathroom, kitchen and/or bedrooms without requiring planning permission provided that the space is just for personal use, say a hobby room, art or yoga studio or even an occasional guest room for friends and family.

However, conservatories can be shaded by roof and window blinds or have solar-controlled windows to reduce glare and temperature or low-emissivity glass to avoid heat loss in a north-facing room. Installing underfloor heating will make the area more welcoming in winter. Use a glazed extension to expand your living space, or turn it into an area where plants take centre stage, then add chairs and a table to increase your enjoyment. A large garden room can work well as a kitchen-diner, offering a convivial space to entertain, or can be turned into a living room. John had won a competition run by the Institute of Landscape Architects to design a Chelsea exhibition garden. Amazed he’d won, he recalled in his memoir, A Landscape Legacy (2018, Pimpernel Press), that his garden‘was remarkable because it was the first garden at Chelsea that was about design rather about merely showcasing plants. It was also the first exhibit in the history of the Chelsea Flower Show to be presented under the designer’s name rather than that of a nursery firm, as designers generally worked for nurseries at that time.’ And no wonder. It demonstrated that one could create a beautifully balanced space that combined materials, planting, and layout to create a room outside that met the demands and needs of its owners. It showed that it was possible to create a beautiful space that juxtaposed excellent design with mundane and yet essential practicality. It proposed that a garden, particularly a town garden, could serve as a peaceful refuge and living space. It encouraged homeowners and designers to explore the use of new materials and styles – if they related to the interior of the home, of course.

Aim to give the exterior of your garden room a wipe down with warm soapy water once a year to wash off any dirt. Painted garden rooms will need a fresh coat of paint every few years to keep the wood in tiptop shape.

Feature add-ons

Adding sinks, showers or washing machines require a plumber to install a fresh water pipe running from your house to the garden building and a separate waste pipe running out again. How do you maintain a garden room? We also have a premium SIP (strunctually-insulated-panels) building in our range, the BillyOh Studi. The Studi is one of the most premium garden office buildings that we offer. And as a SIP Building, it comes fully insulated by design. The Studi uses layered panels that sandwich in-filled insulation. With these panels, the Studi has great thermal insulation. And all without the need to install it yourself! What’s Our Guarantee? Believing that a garden could be much more than a horticultural display, John audaciously added modern seating, sculpture, a pergola, room for herbs, a water feature, and even an incinerator, creating a spacious and elegant ‘room outside’, a term he coined and which became the title of his equally revolutionary garden design book published in 1969 (Thames & Hudson). John’s idea was that gardens should suit the busy modern lifestyle and give its owners a place of refuge from hectic city life that was easy to manage and maintain, and within their economic means. At Garden Buildings Direct, we now sell fully-insulated garden offices. Browse models like our Outpost and the fantastic BillyOh Studi Insulated Garden Room.
