Case Study: Heritage Garden Studios' Stunning Garden Room for Simon & Jo Palmer

Simon and Jo Palmer of Otley faced a familiar challenge: their picturesque garden needed a multi-functional space to cater to their varied lifestyle needs. After exploring several options, they turned to Heritage Garden Studios to make their vision a reality. With a clear vision and specific requirements, the Palmers found that only Heritage Garden Studios, with their expertise in Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) construction, could deliver the size and design they dreamed of.

Client Needs

Understanding the unique needs of Simon and Jo Palmer, Heritage Garden Studios embarked on designing a garden room that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The Palmers needed a versatile space that could serve as an entertainment hub, a DJ setup, and a serene retreat, all while fitting seamlessly into their uneven garden terrain.

The Design and Build

SIPS Construction and Ground Screws

The foundation of the garden room was built with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) provided by Outerspace Group, ensuring a robust and energy-efficient structure. The garden room sits on a bed of ground screws from Groundscrews 4 U, which perfectly managed the site’s uneven land.

The exterior design combines high-quality, sustainable materials with modern aesthetics, creating a striking yet harmonious look.

  • Cladding: Black slatted cladding from Ecoscape and oak slatted cladding from Artificial Living
  • Roof: Curved EPDM
  • Lighting: Energy-efficient LED strips for enhanced ambiance
Bi-Fold Doors and Windows

Maximizing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, the garden room features three sets of bi-fold doors and a bi-fold window from UK Doors Online, perfect for creating an outdoor bar area.

  • Doors: Three sets of bi-fold doors for seamless indoor-outdoor flow
  • Window: Bi-fold window ideal for a bar setup
Interior and Amenities

The interior of the garden room is spacious and filled with natural light, thanks to large windows and strategically placed skylights.

Key amenities include a small bathroom and kitchen, making the space highly functional.
