The ‘Garden Room Guide’ online offers independent reviews and information of the many suppliers in the market. As
Garden Rooms become ever more popular amongst the public, the competition is heating up and the customer can often find it difficult to choose between the varying styles, designs and specifications.
To quote the chief editor of the Garden Room Guide, Woody Green, recently commented on our latest project and had this to say,
“ I have to say this is probably the most exciting garden room project I have seen and I’ve seen a lot. ”
in.it.studios set themselves apart from the dreary traditional designs and have created a niche contemporary architectural product that excels in the modern era of Garden Rooms. Have a look for yourself and you’ll soon see that we’re not making this up.

Garden rooms are a fantastic, modern, innovative creation that allows you to gain extra space without the hassle of moving house or building an old-fashioned conservatory. Today,
garden rooms are used in many different ways: a lot of people simply use their extra space as a place to relax away from their house, others have had the building specifically created to use as an office, a gym, a place to entertain or for guests and family to stay; others have even used them as a music room so as not to disturb, or be disturbed by, others.
There are so many options for your garden room and the beginning of January is the perfect time to consider how you would like to use and get the most out of your garden throughout the year. Garden rooms are ideal for every occasion or event as well as for everyday living and can be used all year round.
One of the most popular uses for contemporary garden rooms is as an office and with the number of homeworkers and home-based businesses in the UK rising annually, more people are taking advantage of accessible technology and cutting out their daily commuting time and costs. The garden room has stepped in as the perfect way to keep your home life and work life separate. Perhaps you are in the music profession or are a music teacher and you need somewhere sound-proof for practicing, teaching or recording: garden studios can free up all of that space used to keep you instruments and equipment and could even save you the expense of renting other studios (and the related travel costs). Maybe you are a fitness fanatic and you are looking for somewhere to hold all of your equipment – if so, a garden gym may be for you, eliminating the inconvenience of using your local gym as well as working around opening times.
At in.it.studios each one of our contemporary garden studios is tailored to your own specific requirements. Not only is the size flexible, but the positioning of doors, windows and partition walls are all elements which are customisable to suit you and your family’s needs. The positioning of your garden room is very important to allow maximum natural light in all year round. At in.it.studios we can advise you on what would be best to meet all of your requirements.

It is not just the design and build of our garden rooms that are produced with sustainability and the sympathy of the environment at heart. There are other reasons why deciding to build a
garden room can help the environment, the most obvious and impactful being the decision to make the lifestyle change of bringing your office to your home. If you use your contemporary garden studios as an office, then there is no commute to work, saving a considerable amount of energy, not to mention time, money and stress!
Without boring you with the science too much, here’s how we approach sourcing materials and designing and building our garden rooms so that they work in synergy with the environment. We have approached our design process with sustainability and design aesthetics running in parallel. We all want to help sustain the environment where we can but equally we want a build that is contemporary and pleasing to the eye and it will be with our designer garden homes. In.it.studios feel our end product demonstrates what sustainable architecture can achieve without compromising the aesthetics or increased costs which often reduce the eco credentials of a new build.
The timber for our garden rooms is sustainably sourced timber and is used throughout the whole structure. The environmental impact of using this wood is that the forests where the timber has typically been sourced, is well managed and the trees are replanted to sustain the harvesting of this natural product. Very little energy is required in sourcing timber in comparison to the energy involved in producing bricks or concrete blocks.
Another design feature that contributes to carbon efficiency is the cantilevered roof. This unique overhanging roof design profile has more purposes than just looking attractive. Its primary function is to act as a sun shade to screen the direct sunlight on the glazing. The high pitch of the sun in the summer is screened more than the low sun of the winter. This helps balance the demand for sunlight, thus maximising the suns energy when most needed in the cooler winter months and reducing its penetration during the hotter months.
There are many features of our garden rooms that contribute to a greener approach to building. If you are like us and hold the environment dear and are thinking of getting that new extension, be it for work or play, then get in touch with in.it.studios.
