the winterhouse

The Winterhouse is a variant of our small Penthouse which can be used year round as an office, studio or Winter / Summerhouse.

conversions and extensions

The same principles which underpin the design of The Penthouse range of garden rooms are used to create innovative solutions to the challenge of creating additional space in the home. Existing buildings can be converted and extensions designed to maximise space, light, comfort or views. Sun rooms offering a comfortable, light space are designed to enable year round occupation whatever the weather.

other structures

Our range of canvas lodges, imported from California, offer a really different camping experience. Timber framed with a timber floor, these structures are used to provide romantic bedrooms, bunkhouse accommodation or a really special dining space. Tree houses are another speciality and we also design roofs for verandas & patios or other enclosed areas where the addition of a roof will create an inspiring outdoor space.
