This was a large project. The brief was to replace an old greenhouse on the site with a much larger bespoke one. Also to attach a shed at one end and create a fenced off decking area. Some new raised beds at the front and a bench made from the spare deck boards. The shed here was glazed to keep the feeling of a nice light area and a sliding door was included to the customers...

New timber frame structure to allow plenty of...

This allows for it to be used as a relaxing place to sit in the day, with the feel of a cosy log cabin late into the evening. To call it a summer house is probably not doing it justice as you could feasibly sit in there late into the year and be quite...
