Inspiration & Design

Plan an insulated garden office log cabin that works in January as well as June: the right size for one or two desks, wall thickness, heating, electrics, internet and permits.

Ageing parents, adult kids, visiting friends — a garden guest cabin gives them a place of their own. What an annexe legally is, the spec it needs, and how to plan the layout.

Make a 10–35 m² log cabin live large: zoning and sightlines, whitewashed pine, colour palettes, layered lighting and built-in furniture—with real dimensions, not moodboard fluff.

Plan a garden sauna that actually gets used: barrel vs cabin formats, sizes for 2–6 people, wood-fired vs electric heaters, the right timber, ventilation, permits and honest maintenance.
