We all know the many benefits that regular exercise can bring, however, making time to visit a gym is not always practical, especially when we all live such busy lives. It is for this reason that the team here at eDEN are seeing a surge in requests for at-home garden gyms, like this stylish example tucked away at the bottom of a leafy garden in Barnes, London.
When designing and planning a home gym, there are many functional elements that a client must consider to ensure it is a practical space; one of which is the height of the room, which naturally needs to accommodate not only the height of the client, but also any equipment that may impact head-room. Due to this exact issue, on this project the height of the room needed to be increased to 3 meters high. The eDEN team obtained planning permission for this, since this put the dimensions of the garden room outside of normal permitted development regulations.
An attractive set of triple sliding doors creates plenty of light and lovely inspiring views for our customer to enjoy whilst working out. An extended canopy to the right of the garden room has also been integrated into the design to store a table tennis table whilst not in use, which is complimented by decking which wraps around two sides of the garden room. The room was finished with a natural sedum roof, creating a more pleasant view when looking down on the garden room from upper floors of the main house, and helping it further blend with the leafy greenery of the garden. Overall, this garden room has created a calm and tranquil space to enjoy a successful health and fitness regime from home.
The team here at eDEN are well-versed in developing all kinds of recreational spaces including Yoga and Pilates studios, golf simulators and many more! We can even integrate added extras such as reinforced flooring if heavy weights or machinery are required.
