The project

Our client is a painter who wanted to work in the garden without building something that blocked it out. We designed a small steel frame with glass on three sides and a solid back wall that holds the storage and the heating.

It sat within permitted development, so it needed no planning application, only building regulations approval for the glazing and the foundations.
