We recently worked with a couple who were struggling with the size of their home. They didn’t want to move, so they decided to look at ways to gain more space. They had a lot of unused space in their garden, which they felt was being wasted. The obvious solution was to turn some of the unused outside space into much needed indoor space.
These images show the house and garden before the project started, during the construction stages, and after completing work on the garden room and garden.
Before
After discussing ideas, our team produced designs for a garden room eco-extension. External wall insulation was installed to maximise the energy efficiency of the space. As keen garden lovers, it was important to keep an outside feel within the extension. This was achieved by introducing lots of light into the space with bi-folding doors. The bespoke roof was designed to mimic the shape of a leaf to maintain an organic appearance.
After the designs were agreed, the customers decided to use the opportunity to redesign their garden. As a part of the redesign, we were able to suggest simple, yet effective energy efficient ideas. This involved incorporating a rainwater harvesting system into the garden.
After
'Cobalt provided a professional service and were conscious of satisfying our needs for the Garden Room which was built in a small space. The end product is a spacious, light and airy room which brings the garden into the room. They had the imagination to realise what we couldn’t and were very thorough every step of the way. Cobalt minimised the inconvenience of having building work carried out in our home during the Winter months. Thank you.' Katherine and Robert Thomas, Nottingham
