Garden Room with Accessible Landscaping, Coventry

Malcolm first contacted us for a Garden Room. It was a tricky brief as Malcolm needed wheelchair accessibility between his house, the existing garage and the new Garden Room.

Because Malcolm wanted something really life-changing, we all understood the responsibility that was on our shoulders with regards to the design and build, and the importance of making this work.

Malcolm is a detail man, so his brief was comprehensive, to say the least! He questioned the design at every stage to make sure we understood the key elements that made up the project and why they needed to be right.

The 4×3 metre Garden Room was built with fully accessible full bifold doors, two full-length vision panels and a side window to let in maximum light.

Our new oak composite cladding was added to the outside giving the whole build a top-class feel that’s virtually maintenance-free.

Since Malcolm wanted to use the Garden Room all year round, we installed an air conditioning system which provides remote-controlled heating and cooling.

Malcolm uses the existing garage as a workshop, so we built an extension to the side of it using matching composite wood cladding with a full-size vision panel, and installed a remote controlled aluminium roller door to give him easy access.

The resin bound gravel ramps and patio were laid last last. They are designed to be completely permeable for use 365 days a year. Ramps were made to accessibility specifications with a gradient of 1:15 – ideal for Malcolm’s powered wheelchair.

This was an extremely challenging build in a tight space, with a very high specification, but our team handled it brilliantly and Malcolm is delighted with his new, accessible ‘contemplation room’.
