Custom Garden Office Cabin Design
Sarah and Paul live in the picturesque rolling countryside of the South Hams in Devon, where their charming converted barn offers a view of neighbouring fields and the distant silhouette of Haytor on Dartmoor.
In search of a dedicated garden office cabin space that could also serve as a creative sanctuary for painting, they envisioned a place where they could bask in the expansive vistas from their garden. Additionally, they sought a garden office cabin that could accommodate overnight guests, particularly their elderly parents, enabling more frequent visits.
Garden Office Cabin Design and Build
After exploring our website and the range of possibilities, Sarah and Paul were excited to pursue a bespoke garden office cabin. They also wanted to incorporate an overhang to create a sheltered outdoor seating area.
After conducting a site visit and reviewing inspiring reference images shared by Sarah and Paul, Jamie and cabin designer Oliver crafted sketches of a garden office cabin that aligned with their requirements. They envisioned an asymmetrical single-level structure featuring a spacious picture window, a custom-made desk, as well as a compact shower room and kitchen area.
Externally, a generous overhang was proposed to offer protection for outdoor seating, allowing them to relish the southerly vistas. Design elements included larch screening for privacy, a rainwater chain, and handcrafted peg rails and a fold-down table within the cabin.
Following approval from the planning authorities, construction commenced in Autumn/Winter 2023. Despite enduring bouts of Devon rain, the team remained energised by endless cups of tea made by Paul and successfully delivered a space that not only fulfils its intended purpose but also boasts well-considered design elements for year-round enjoyment.
