Design
After our initial consultation our designer will be able to provide you with a full set of cad projections, we also offer a CGI (Computer generated imagery) service. Some customers find this useful to help visualise quite how the summerhouse will sit in its surroundings.
When designing your summerhouse there will be a few things to consider such as the size, location, function, material choice as well as any design features on your surrounding property.
Generally most of the square designed summerhouses range in size from 2.4 x 2.4 metres to 2.8 x 2.8 metres. For the rectangular design it can be anything from 2.4m x 2.8 to 5.2 x 3.2 metres. The overall height varies from 3.5 to 5.5 metres to top of finial.
We always try and incorporate any architectural design styles you may have on your existing house and outbuildings. Features such as window style, window arches and lintels, brick and stonework courses and quoining and lead detailing will all be incorporated into the design. This will ensure your new summerhouse sits perfectly in its surroundings.
