UserLocated just 7 miles from our own offices in Charlbury, this building is one of Sylva’s most local projects.
When the client purchased
The Old Farmhouse in Long Hanborough, it came complete with planning permission to construct a new home in the garden. However, these plans did not suit the young family’s needs.
Instead, new plans were drawn up for a double garage along with premises for their flower arranging business. Across the top of the garage sits a 1-bed annex complete with it’s own bathroom, sitting area and separate access via the external oak stairs.Initially, the plan was for an oak framed structure, however the cost looked to be prohibitive given the building’s practical purpose. Instead, internal oak features were combined with oak cladding, stairs and handrails to give the look and feel of an oak structure.
The insulation for the shop part of the building was chosen carefully to maintain a stable temperature and humidity, which helps the flower stay fresh for as long as possible.
The client appointed a local builder to clear the site, install foundations and lay the ground floor. Sylva provided an insulated timber frame which comprised of smaller than usual panels due to restricted site access. The first floor was formed from metal web joists and finished with a loose cut roof, due to the gables and dormers required.
Sylva acted as principal contractor for the duration
of the timber frame works, providing all method statements and risk assessments. Time on site was 8 days from start to finish.
Once complete, the builder returned to install the roofing, cladding and windows, simultaneously overseeing the fit out internally; at the time Sylva did not have a Concept to Keys® service.
Completed in 2012, the total build duration was just under 6 months and the total cost came to around £85,000, a fraction of the time and cost originally thought to be involved in a blockwork construction.
Having dedicated premises for the business has helped it to flourish, the garage provides a place for cars and hobbies, and the annex is a great place for grandparents to stay when the babysitting has worn them out.

Inside Out Oxford Bespoke Garden RoomsSelf builder James Harper gives his tips on building your own garden room.
What did you enjoy most about doing the project yourself?
James: Definitely the sense of achievement: having a cup of tea sat on the solid foundations for the first time; closing the door on a watertight building. It never gets old seeing the building from the bathroom window or showing it to friends and family.
Would you do it again?
J: Yes definitely! I’m extremely happy with the results. I must have asked Inside Out Oxford about 100 questions via WhatsApp. They responded so quickly with helpful advice or simply provided the reassurance I needed that I was doing the right thing.
What advice would you give to someone thinking about doing a self build?
J: Go for it! All you need is a desire to do it. The learning curve is gentle and overall I was blown away at how simple the construction is. What's more is that there's so much room for error and nearly every big mistake can be fixed.
How much money did you save doing it yourself?
J: Probably around 50 per cent of what it would have cost to have it built for me.
MagMoo DesignMulti functional garden room for a London family. This building is clad in composite cladding and aluminium anthracite windows. It has a green roof and large sliding doors.

It is complete with all media facilities serving both work and leisure purposes. It also has a kitchenette with a fridge and sink. Along with a bathroom complete with sink, toilet and shower so that this space also doubles as guest accommodation.
Primrose ProjectsThe original idea was to build a contemporary cedar-clad garden room which could be used as a work-from-home space and gym. With a Primrose project its OK to change the plan half way through and theses photos illustrate this perfectly!
Although not typical, scope-creep can happen when clients see the room taking shape and decide to add the odd enhancement, such as decking or a patio. This project in Rickmansworth, completed in August 2020, started out as a 7m x 4m room but the clients needed somewhere to store their garden furniture in the winter and an ordinary shed would have detracted from the beauty of the garden room. Primrose therefore constructed, not a shed, but an adjacent store room which mirrors the aesthetic of the garden room and, in addition to housing garden furniture, also contains a sauna!
The decking around the swim spa was then added to bring all the elements together. The cedar cladding and decking is the highest grade Canadian Western Red Cedar available but our team still reject boards that don’t meet the specific requirements of our rooms. The rich orange-brown tones are accentuated by UV oil treatment which keeps the Cedar looking pristine through the years.
