In the corner of the garden, Mike had a gazebo where he liked to sit when the weather was good. It was important to retain this idea of outdoor seating space but at the same time, make more use of the area behind the garage.
"It's been a fantastic experience and exceeded my expectations."
The space behind the garage backed on to a wooded area so it was an ideal location for the garden room. The sheltered seating area which had one side solidly filled in for additional shelter plus another half side, protruded from the right of the right of the building which allowed the windows on the left to still get plenty of natural sunlight.
