A natural space in the garden

A natural space in the garden

When we are developing our gardens from planting flowers to introducing garden buildings it is important that it matches your garden environment so it doesn't look out of place. Here at Decorated Shed one of the main reasons we carry out site surveys is to get a feel of your garden and the surrounding environment.

In the design and architecture news I came across a lovely outdoor feature by Bonnie Alter - London. A light and airy structure which combines patio and outdoor space with lots of plantings. It is called the Ecocube, it is a vertical garden, and provides shade too. If you have free garden space after your Decorated Shed garden studio it built, it is another diverse way of arranging your garden.

Made of sustainable cedar wood, it is contemporary and would fit into any outdoor setting. You are able choose the size of your Ecospace plant structure and the positioning of the screens gives privacy and a sense of depth.

The thing I like about this architecture is the green roof system and the recycled rubber floors that are used. Very similar to Decorated Sheds garden buildings, we keep the environment in mind where ever possible. Our garden studios can be used for anything you want - from gym rooms to working offices. We design to your specification making virtually anything possible. We will also give you as much information needed about the after care of your Decorated Shed garden building and advice and help with regards to the design of your garden.
