Planning was secured in a sensitive area where height was the primary consideration; this low-impact design sits softly at the front of the property and was presented favourably to the local planners who accepted this design over a room above garage alternative. An experienced approach to planning combined with architectural solutions created an acceptable proposal for introducing a granny annexe building that otherwise would have been rejected.
2. The groundworks were designed to handle the variations in levels, with the addition of a separate access for rental guests to ensure a private entrance. All services were coordinated into the building.
3. The oak frame was installed by an experienced team of carpenters with the correct insulated walling details required for garden annexe living.
4. The roof tiling matched the surrounding properties, and a welcoming oak framed porch with chunky oak beams to welcome guests upon arrival.
5. The side elevation features large, glazed patio windows within a feature oak truss to provide natural light into the annexe living space and views overlooking the gardens.

The Design Process
During the design of this garden oak building, careful attention was given to several key factors that would enhance the overall guest experience throughout the year. The positioning of the building was considered to ensure optimal integration with the surrounding landscape, providing garden views and preserving natural sightlines. Placing large, strategically orientated windows allows for an abundance of natural light to fill the living space while also capturing the sun’s warmth during the day.
