Project Overview:

This stunning garden office project in London transformed a tired and underused workshop into a beautifully designed and highly functional outdoor living space. The client’s brief was clear: remove the existing structure, extend the foundation, and build a bespoke garden room that blended high-end materials with personal design features – creating a versatile space for work, relaxation, and entertainment.

From the reclaimed edge-to-edge oak cladding to the internal oak timber beams and bespoke entertainment unit, every detail of this build was carefully considered and executed. The end result is a completely unique structure that enhances the garden and adds long-term value to the property.

Involved Divisions:

This build engaged every division of the Bonell team, making it a showcase of our full-service capability. The project required seamless coordination between project management, groundworks, carpentry, electrical, and decorating divisions. Our craftsmen brought the client’s vision to life with quality materials and expert execution, ensuring a finished space that was both beautiful and practical.
