Location: Gatley, Cheadle, Greater Manchester
Project Timeline: August-September 2023
Purpose: Home Office
Size: 4.5m x 3.5m
Client Brief
The client approached us wanting a dedicated garden room to work as a professional home office. They wanted a space that would provide separation from the main house whilst offering a comfortable, inspiring environment for work.
The garden contained a wonderful, mature tree that needed to be incorporated into the design rather than removed.
Solution
We designed a spacious 4.5m x 3.5m garden office with modern features to create both visual impact and practical workspace. The layout was planned to maximise the available garden space whilst working with existing features, particularly the mature tree that was to be preserved and incorporated into the design.
A standout feature of the design is the impressive 2.6m aluminium bifold doors that create a great connection between the office and garden. These are complemented by a 600mm floor-to-ceiling window to the side, flooding the workspace with natural light and providing inspiring views of the garden.
The exterior features a distinctive 600mm overhang and side detail, all clad in premium Radiata pine to match the main structure. This architectural element adds visual interest whilst providing practical weather protection.
We installed Cladco composite decking to the front of the room and around the tree at the side to carefully integrate the structure with nature.

What the client said
“We have had an amazing experience with Lux Garden Rooms. From David, Alan, Nick to the rest of the team, we honestly cannot fault any of them. They are all extremely professional and their attention to detail is impeccable. We contacted a few garden room companies and Lux Garden Rooms was the only one that came on site to quote over all other companies only quoting based on photos and relying on our own measurements.
David was very attentive to our requests, advising us on what was possible based on our terrain and even returned to answer additional questions and look at/advise on different ideas we had after the initial visit to make sure we were fully happy with everything prior we agreed to go ahead.
From start to finish, David’s communication has been brilliant. Everybody on site worked extremely hard, trying their very best to accommodate every little change we had asked during the process. The end result turned out far better than what we had imagined.
We really cannot fault Lux Garden Rooms. This is an extremely reliable company and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent-quality, made-to-measure garden room.”
Project Outcome
We loved building this garden office that delivers a professional working environment whilst blending into the garden setting.
We’re also really happy that we could integrate the beautiful, mature tree into the design through custom decking rather than just pull it down or have no decking at all – we’re all for this sustainable approach.
