The glass facade of the Henleaze garden room floods the space with light while the retractable sliding doors break down the physical barrier between outside and in.
Our Henleaze garden rooms have some excellent details such as the full height side window and angled sunshields, balancing form and function without obstructing the almost panoramic views.

Thermowood is a beautiful sustainable timber manufactured by a chemical free heat treatment to very high temperatures. Preservatives are injected into the wood to ensure durability and zero maintenance
Thermowood is created by heat treating Scandinavian softwood to temperatures ranging from 180 – 230°. Thermowood is resistant to rot and fungi.
British Cedar is narrow and white in colour and the heartwood is reddish-brown. When freshly felled, the heartwood often displays a marked variation in colour; that from the centre of the log may be dark chocolate-brown changing to salmon pink nearer the sapwood, or the wood may be variegated with alternate dark and light zones.
After drying, the wood assumes a uniform reddish-brown tone, but after long exposure to the weather the colour is lost, and the wood becomes silver-grey. The weathered appearance is sometimes purposely sought by architects, but a further peculiarity is its ability to take and hold stain of the finest without discolouration.
Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese architectural technique that was used to preserve wood by charring the surface with a hot flame. Shou Sugi Ban is also known as Yakisugi and traditionally was performed on Sugi wood, which is a Japanese cedar. The process involved charring the wood, cooling it, cleaning off any soot or burnt debris on the surface.
Another option is to add a UV protection oil; we recommend OSMO UV Protection oil, it enhances the natural character of the wood and contains biocides to protect against algae, mildew and fungal attack.
UV-Protection Oil has been developed to maintain the wood’s natural colour and slow the greying process by (UV factor) 12 times in comparison to untreated wood.
