Outdoor Sanctuaries
Functional garden rooms
Increasingly, we treat outdoor spaces as extensions of our living areas. Our garden rooms, such as summer houses, home offices, studios, and hobby rooms, are designed with the same attention to detail as any indoor space.
Transitional areas that link house and garden are important. Balconies, verandas, and gazebos all link the house to the garden. This connects us with sunlight, open views, and green spaces, bringing these into our daily living areas in much more immediate ways.
We can help you to make the most of your outdoor space, connect with nature, and enjoy your garden throughout the seasons.
Why choose Bottle Kiln Design?
Natural and reclaimed
Your choice of building materials can help bring character and uniqueness to your project. There are many different forms of vernacular in our working area, from the limestone walling of the High Peak to the soft Bulwell stones used in and around Nottingham. We enjoy sourcing reclaimed and traditional materials where this is required or appropriate; and in all contexts using materials with enduring quality such as granite, oak, and lead detailing.
A complete service
From design, planning, and building right through to planting and lighting, most of the work is carried out using our own teams of skilled craftspeople and always under our own careful supervision and control.
Bespoke design
All of our garden rooms are unique, from small and intimate spaces to large and dramatic structures. We tailor each project to your needs, whether it’s a complete scheme designed and realised as one project or a series of linked smaller projects over time. There are no rules other than what best works for you and enhances your enjoyment of the garden space.
Elegant outdoor buildings
Our garden rooms include beautiful summer houses, workshops, home offices, garden gyms, and hobby rooms, providing the extra living space you need. These versatile rooms are designed to enhance your garden’s functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Seamlessly integrated into your garden, these structures offer both practical and visually pleasing additions to your outdoor space. Whether you need a quiet office, a dedicated hobby room, or a relaxing summer house, our bespoke designs ensure that each garden room perfectly complements your lifestyle and surroundings.
