SmartSpaces offer a unique service as part of our design process, that truly helps you to visualise your garden room. We take a photo of the area where you would like your garden room, and once your site survey is completed, our specialist designers use CAD and CGI tools to bring your garden room vision to life before your very eyes. Yes, you will be able to see your garden room in your garden, before we have even lifted a hammer to build it. Our designers play a crucial role in creating your design specification to maximise available space with precision and accuracy, and we work alongside Studiol49 to provide a comprehensive and bespoke design service. First let us explain what CAD and CGI entails:

CAD stands for “computer aided design”. This is mainly 2D floor plans, 2D section views and maybe some basic 3D modelling, in a wire frame style. Although from a design / manufacturing perspective it’s highly accurate, it tends to leave a lot to the imagination regarding how the structure will sit in its installation environment and what the final finishes will be.

CGI stands for “Computer Generated Imagery”, so the emphasis is much more on the overall image. This includes high quality 3D assets, materials and custom 3D modelling to create an immersive environment. Once lighting, effects, cameras are added to the model a photorealistic image can be achieved. This gives the client the best possible chance at visualising what a garden room will look like in their own environment. Here we show you some of our recent jobs from enquiry right through to final outdoor space.

Guest Accommodation and Office

Our Cumbrian client contacted us as they were looking to create additional guest accommodation with a separate office to allow work life balance. This was a completely bespoke design that incorporated many different areas. First, we created the floor plan which showed the seating, sleeping and study areas. Once the client was happy with this, our designers created the CGI image – this really helped to bring our client’s vision to life.

Pool Room Guest Accommodation and Entertaining Space

This pool room was the second build we completed for our Surrey based client, we had previously built a gym room and they were so pleased with it, that they asked us to create a room alongside their beautiful pool. Again, this was a completely bespoke design that incorporated different areas. The floor plan was first created to lay out the bedroom, shower room, lounge, kitchen, and decking areas. Our designers then created the CGI image, which along with the interior decor and accessories, showed how the hot tub would look on the decking. The room was built using horizontal black cladding, anthracite grey doors and windows and Salt Lake silver decking. This was intended as a space for the whole family to enjoy and was a real wow design

Entertaining Space, Kitchen and Bathroom

Our client required an outside space for entertaining; a building where they could relax after enjoying a BBQ or a hot tub session. This was a bespoke build, and included a pitched roof, entertaining living area, kitchenette and bathroom that included a toilet and shower.

Open Plan Gym Room

We completed this open plan gym room for a client in Harrogate who wanted to create a workout space at home. He was using his gym equipment in the lounge, so this dedicated space was much needed. The pitched roof created the additional height needed for the gym equipment and two sets of sliding doors allowed the space to be fully opened up and make the most of countryside views. The feature window added a real wow factor.

Entertaining Space with Storage

Our client in Leeds was looking for some entertaining space, but also somewhere with additional storage. The storage room was incorporated into the design, and will be used for garden furniture and equipment. Our client has installed a bar and regularly entertains at home with family and friends. This room was from our Studio Range.

Entertaining Space with Decking

Our client in Leeds was looking for somewhere to entertain in their garden, complete with decking and a handy storage area. The decking area is a perfect place for the sofa and chairs; bringing the outside in. Below we show how we gave our clients options for the front screen on the decking. This room was from our DeckSpace Range.

Bespoke Office and Entertaining Area

Our client in Doncaster had an area behind their garage, and they wanted to make use of it by installing an office which could also be used for entertaining. We gave them different options for the cladding; Midnight Black or Thermo Clad. This is a great example of how SmartSpaces can design a space for a tight area of the garden, making the most out of an area which previously was not used. This was from our Bespoke Range.
