In short
What does Gardenscape mean by garden studios?
Bespoke garden studios for art, music, yoga or making, built and insulated for year-round use.
A garden room built around what you do in it
A garden studio is a garden room designed around a particular pursuit: the light a painter needs, the soundproofing a musician needs, the calm and the floor space a yoga practice needs, or simply room to make and think away from the house. Because it is built for the activity rather than to a catalogue, it works for the way you actually use it.
Designed from the use back to the structure
We start with how you will use the studio, the light, the acoustics, the power and the heating, and design back to the structure from there. A north light for a painter, generous glazing for a maker, a quiet, warm floor for yoga. The room follows the work, not a standard template.
Soundproofing where it matters
For music or noisier work we design in acoustic insulation and the right glazing, so the studio works for the activity and keeps the peace with the house and the neighbours. It is one of the main reasons to build a studio properly rather than buy a shed with a window in it.
Built for the whole year
Insulated and built properly, a garden studio is a genuine year-round room, not a summerhouse with a heater. We build on a proper base, insulate the floor, walls and roof to a real standard, and run the services it needs, so it earns its place every day of the year.
Planning, kept simple
Most garden studios fall within permitted development as an outbuilding, but it depends on size, height and position, and conservation areas and the Cotswold National Landscape tighten the rules. We confirm what applies before we design. Tell us what the studio is for and we will design and build it to suit. Arrange a consultation to start.

Yes, when it is properly insulated and heated. We build studios on a proper base and insulate to a real standard for year-round use, not as a summerhouse.
Usually they are permitted development within the outbuilding limits, but it depends on size, height and position, and conservation areas and the Cotswold National Landscape tighten the rules. We confirm it before designing.
Yes, that is the whole point of a studio over a standard garden room. We design from how you will use it, the light, the acoustics, the power and the layout, back to the structure.
