Bespoke Home Gym Garden Studio with Orangery-Style Design

Project Snapshot

Project Overview

On a tight urban site, the homeowner wanted to create a dedicated home gym that felt calm, refined, and architecturally appropriate alongside an elegant period property.

A basic garden room wouldn’t suffice. The brief called for a studio with character, strong natural light, and a sense of permanence, despite its compact footprint.

Shomera responded with a beautifully proportioned orangery-style garden studio that delivers light, balance, and architectural presence, while fitting comfortably within a constrained site.

Client Brief

The client’s priorities were clear:

Create a dedicated wellness-focused space for exercise and retreat
Design a studio that complements the period home and garden setting
Maximise daylight and visual openness within a limited footprint
Avoid a utilitarian or “box-like” garden structure
Deliver a premium finish with long-term durability

Shomera’s Design & Build Solution

Shomera approached the project with careful attention to proportion, materials, and light:

Designed an orangery-style studio with a central aluminium-framed roof lantern, drawing daylight deep into the space and enhancing height and openness
Used alu-clad windows and doors to balance contemporary performance with refined detailing
Finished the exterior in crisp render, echoing the tone and texture of the main house for a cohesive architectural relationship
Carefully proportioned the internal layout to feel generous, calm, and focused on wellness
Delivered a compact yet highly considered 18m² studio that feels bright, balanced, and purposeful

The Final Result

Despite its modest footprint, the Oolart Garden Studio feels spacious, light-filled, and architecturally confident. High-end finishes, strong proportions, and the dramatic roof lantern elevate the space beyond a typical garden room.

The result is a private gym and retreat that enhances daily life while reinforcing the visual language of the home and garden, proof that small spaces, when thoughtfully designed, can feel genuinely grand.
