A garden room is more than just four walls and a roof; it is a blank canvas that allows you to reclaim space and redefine how you live. Whether you are craving silence, space to sweat, or a place to socialise, a standalone structure offers a unique separation from the main house that an internal extension simply cannot match.


At DBG Projects, we don't believe in "one size fits all." We design and build around your lifestyle. Here are the top 5 ways our clients are transforming their gardens into functional, luxury spaces.


1. The Ultimate Home Office

The "working from home" revolution is here to stay, but working from the kitchen table is a recipe for distraction. A dedicated garden office provides the mental and physical separation needed for a healthy work-life balance.

  • The DBG Difference: We install ample power points, data cabling, and heating solutions to ensure your Zoom calls run smoothly and you stay warm, even in the depths of winter. Plus, with a commute that involves walking down the garden path, you’ll never be late again.


2. The Private Home Gym

Why pay for a membership you rarely use when you can have a professional gym 10 seconds from your back door? A garden gym allows you to train on your own terms, in total privacy, playing your own music as loud as you like.

  • The DBG Difference: Gym equipment is heavy. Standard shed floors will warp or bow under the weight of racks and treadmills. Leveraging our groundworks expertise, we pour heavy-duty reinforced concrete bases and install structural timber flooring capable of withstanding the heaviest deadlifts.


3. The "Gin Bar" & Entertainment Hub

Bring the pub to you. A garden bar is the ultimate upgrade for those who love to host. Whether it’s a sophisticated "Gin Palace," a rustic sports bar, or a poolside lounge, this is a space designed purely for fun.

  • The DBG Difference: We can integrate large bi-fold doors that open fully onto a custom-built deck (which we also install), creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for summer BBQs. We can also handle the plumbing for sinks and bar fridges, so you never have to run back to the house for ice.


4. The Creative Studio

Whether you are an artist, a writer, or a musician, creativity requires headspace. A garden room offers a tranquil sanctuary away from the noise of the household chores and the TV.

  • The DBG Difference: Light is crucial for artists. We can position windows and skylights to capture the best natural light (North-facing for consistent illumination). For musicians, we can incorporate enhanced acoustic insulation to keep the sound in and the neighbours happy.


5. The Teen Den or Guest Annex

As families grow, space shrinks. A garden room is the perfect solution for giving teenagers their own independence (and you some peace and quiet) without them leaving the nest. Alternatively, it serves as a luxurious, private suite for visiting guests.

  • The DBG Difference: Because we handle everything from the initial excavation to the final joinery, we can create a fully insulated, secure, and comfortable living space that feels just as permanent and cosy as a room inside your main home.


Conclusion: Your Space, Your Rules

The beauty of a DBG Projects garden room is that it can be whatever you need it to be. And because we build bespoke, you aren't limited to the shapes and sizes found in a catalogue.
