Garden Office
Our brief was to design a garden office that was sympathetic to the natural environment. In order to maximise the office view and avoid the harsh southern sunlight we designed a north facing office that required us to excavate the ground to provide the perfect aspect. In order to meet Dartmoor's planning requirements we recommended creating a green roof to the structure as it sat close to the boundary wall.
Sustainability is at the heart of our work. Much of this garden office was fitted out and built using planked oak and ash that had been sitting around on family land. Our design incorporated insulation solutions such as a log burner and double glazing for continued use all year round. We even advised the client to make the office bigger so that it could include accommodation for the inevitable guests that Dartmoor attracts.
