APN Garden Rooms is part of APN Home Limited, created to help homeowners plan and build well designed garden rooms, studios and home workspaces with greater flexibility, better technical support and better value.

​

Our garden rooms are not simply off the shelf products. The designs are developed by architectural professionals with more than 40 years of experience in residential design, construction, planning and Building Regulations.

​

That experience sits behind every APN Garden Room design.

​

​

Designed by People Who Actually Design Buildings

 

A garden room may be smaller than a house extension, but the same basic principles still matter.

​

Good proportions, practical layouts, natural light, insulation, structure, ventilation, access and buildability all have to work together.

​

Our designs are created with these considerations in mind from the beginning.

​

We look at each garden room as a small building rather than simply a product to be sold.

​

That means considering:

• How the room will actually be used

• How furniture and equipment can be arranged

• Where doors and windows should be positioned

• How natural light enters the room

• How the building relates to the house and garden

• Insulation and year round comfort

• Construction and structural considerations

• Planning and Building Regulations where applicable

• How easily the design can be adapted to suit an individual property

​

​

More Than 40 Years of Architectural Experience

 

The team behind APN Garden Rooms brings more than four decades of experience working on residential buildings and property projects.

​

That experience includes extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations, refurbishment projects, planning applications and detailed Building Regulations packages.

​

We have used that knowledge to create a collection of garden room designs that are attractive, practical and realistic to build.

​

Rather than starting with a generic garden room shell and trying to make it work afterwards, our approach starts with the design.

​

​

Choose a Design and Make It Your Own

 

Our collection includes a wide range of garden rooms and studios designed for different uses, sizes and architectural styles.

​

You may find a design that works perfectly as it is, or you may want to adapt it to suit your garden.

​

Possible changes can include:

• Altering the overall size

• Changing door or window positions

• Adjusting the internal layout

• Adding storage

• Changing the external appearance

• Introducing rooflights or additional glazing

• Adapting the room for a specific use

• Creating space for a WC or shower

• Adjusting the design to suit the shape of your garden

​

Our Adapt Your Design service allows a standard APN Garden Room design to become something much more individual.

​

​

Design and Technical Plan Packs

 

One of the biggest differences between APN Garden Rooms and many garden room companies is that you do not have to purchase a complete building package from us.

​

You can purchase the professional design and technical information and then choose how you want the garden room to be built.

​

Our plan packs are designed to provide the information required to help homeowners, builders and contractors understand the design and construction of the room.

​

This gives you considerably more control over both the project and the budget.

​

​

Planning and Building Regulations Support

 

Not every garden room requires planning permission or Building Regulations approval, but some do.

​

Factors such as size, height, location, intended use and proximity to boundaries can all affect the position.

​

APN Garden Rooms can provide additional support where required, including:

• Planning advice

• Planning application submission

• Building Regulations drawings

• Technical design information

• On site surveys

• Design adaptations

• Assistance with structural requirements where necessary

​

This means you can start with one of our standard designs and bring in additional professional support only where your particular project requires it.

​

​

On Site Garden Room Surveys

 

For homeowners who would like professional advice before proceeding, we also offer an On Site Garden Room Survey.

​

We can visit the property, review the proposed location and discuss practical issues including:

• The most suitable position for the garden room

• Access for construction

• Ground conditions and foundations

• Planning considerations

• Building Regulations

• Services

• Approximate build costs

• Suitability of the garden room design you have selected

​

The aim is to give you a much clearer understanding of the project before significant money is committed.

​

​

Build Your Way

 

APN Garden Rooms has been created around a simple idea.

​

You should not necessarily have to buy an expensive complete garden room package from a single supplier.

​

By starting with a professional design and then purchasing the main components and construction separately, homeowners may be able to achieve substantial savings.

​

You can choose your own builder, obtain competitive quotations and decide where you want to spend your budget.

​

Our role is to help provide the design, information, guidance and support that makes that possible.

​

​

​

A Different Way to Create a Garden Room

 

We believe there is a better way to create a garden room.

​

Start with a good design.

​

Understand the planning and technical requirements.

​

Decide exactly what you want.

​

Then obtain competitive prices for the construction and products required to build it.

​

That gives you more control over the design, more control over who builds it and, importantly, more control over what the project costs.

​

​

Potential Savings of 40 to 50%

 

Buying a complete garden room from a specialist supplier can be convenient, but that convenience can come at a significant premium.

​

By purchasing the professional design first and then arranging the construction, doors, windows, finishes and other major components separately, there is the potential to make very substantial savings.

​

Depending on the size, specification and method of construction, homeowners may be able to save around 40 to 50% compared with some fully supplied and installed garden room packages.

​

The exact saving will vary from project to project, but the principle is simple.

​

You remain in control of the design, the specification, the builder and the budget.

​

​

Start With the Design

 

The best place to start is with the garden room itself.

​

Browse our collection, find a design that suits your home and garden and then decide whether you would like to build it exactly as shown or adapt it to create something unique.

​

From there, APN Garden Rooms can provide additional survey, planning, Building Regulations and design support whenever it is required.
