Garden Offices | Yorkshire

All our bespoke designed and installed Garden Offices are available throughout Yorkshire and  Increasingly it makes sense to work from home, either as a small business owner, or an executive that floats between Head Office and clients. 


Writers, Graphic Designers, Photographers, Interior Designers and Architects often take inspiration from their mood, which can be significantly influenced by their surroundings. Having a fully functional garden office affords the owner the luxury and flexibility of operating from home whilst still in a dedicated working environment. 
Be it traditional or contemporary, many of the features of our garden offices are shared. All walls and floor can be insulated with a minimum of 100mm insulation. The structurally graded timber frame is clad in a sheet material, such as ply for wind bracing and added structural integrity. Finally, the whole structure is wrapped in a high quality breathable membrane prior to cladding the walls in either western red cedar, pressure treated softwood or desired hard wood finish.  All doors and windows are double glazed with toughened glass where required.


The style and finish of the interior requires careful consideration and specification. We can cater from simple internal sheet material cladding through to fully decorated plaster board and plaster. Thereafter the choice of features are mostly no different to a house, Electrics, Plumbing, Heating, WiFi etc are all options.
We are happy to use a wide range of roofing materials to complement the existing garden and architectural surroundings.  For pitched roofs this could be number 1 grade western red cedar shingles, slate, clay tiles, rosemary tiles. For flat roofs the finish can be either GRP, roofing grade rubber or living sedum turf. The options are endless. As well as our unique designs it is this attention to detail that separate our bespoke structures from mass produced kits and other less considered alternatives.

Bespoke Wooden Garden Gazebos | Yorkshire

Based in Harrogate, Yorkshire one of our specialities is the bespoke design and construction of exceptional wooden Gazebos. 
A Gazebo offers decorative and usable focal points designed to draw the eye toward interesting vistas within your garden, and can give reason to visit and use an area of the garden which at present lacks functionality and consequently use.
Our bespoke wood gazebos can be constructed in almost any size for small or large gardens, with the design reflecting the urban or rural surroundings. With the unpredictable British weather Gazebos can extend an evenings’ entertainment into the night allowing the party to continue. 


Our Gazebo styles are limitless; we design, produce and install over engineered, chunky, statement gazebos. Alternatively we can produce far more intricate and delicate designs. Any genre is achievable be it ‘Over The Top’ or understated.  
We are happy to use a wide range of roofing materials to complement the existing garden and architectural surroundings.  This could be number 1 grade western red cedar shingles, slate, clay tiles, rosemary tiles. The options are endless.  To achieve a decorative internal finish between the exposed roof rafters, we clad all our roofs with tongue and groove boards to match the timber used throughout the main structure. Whilst adding structural integrity to the roof, the boards also hide the hi-tech breathable waterproof membrane from sight. As well as our unique designs it is this attention to detail that separate our bespoke structures from mass produced kits and other less considered alternatives.

For year round use, we can integrate outdoor waterproof lighting, heaters, log burners and furniture. We can even turn your gazebo into a fully functioning outdoor kitchen. Where appropriate, we are happy to use any species of timber for any given style of gazebo. Anything from Spruce to Sapele, from Green Oak to Iroko! Where necessary, we select structurally graded (c16 or better) timber. All softwood we use is pressure treated specifically for external use. Irrespective of style and species, the end result will be a beautiful unique structure, handcrafted by us, specifically for you.
