Bespoke Garden Rooms, Garden Offices & Garden Storage

A garden room can give you space to breathe,  whether that means a dedicated office, a studio, or simply somewhere to retreat. At Effective Design, Florian creates timber-framed buildings that are fully insulated, proportioned to your garden, and built for year-round use.

Most projects are constructed directly on site, using durable materials and thoughtful detailing to ensure longevity. Each design is tailored to sit comfortably within its surroundings, offering the practicality of extra space without overpowering the setting. From large outdoor rooms to compact offices, or even planters and outdoor storage, every commission reflects a balance of function, craft, and character.

Handmade Wooden Garden Structures

Bespoke Gardens Rooms

Designed to suit your space, garden rooms provide a versatile extension of your home. Fully insulated and built to last, they can serve as studios, guest rooms, or quiet retreats, tailored to fit seamlessly into their natural surroundings.

Bespoke Garden Offices

A dedicated garden office offers peace and focus away from the main house. Built with year-round comfort in mind, these timber structures combine insulation, proportion, and thoughtful detailing, creating a workspace that’s practical, comfortable, and a pleasure to spend time in.

Bespoke Planters & Storage

Even smaller outdoor additions can make a difference. From robust planters to weatherproof storage solutions, each piece is designed for everyday use and built from durable timber. They provide order, character, and function while enhancing the look of your garden.

Our Bespoke Garden-based Projects

How We Work With You

Every bespoke garden project begins with a conversation. We take time to understand your needs, your space, and the way you want to live or work within it. From there, Florian develops a considered design that balances functionality with character.

Collaboration is central to our process. Ideas are refined together until you’re completely happy with the plan. Once approved, the design is brought to life through skilled making and careful installation, either on site or with select elements crafted in the workshop. The result is a piece of work that feels entirely your own: thoughtful, practical, and built to last.
