Contemporary Garden Space for Work & Wellness, Cambridge

This 36sqm multifunctional garden room in Cambridge demonstrates how thoughtful design can combine work, wellness, and relaxation in one stylish, adaptable space. Designed and built by Hawksbeck Garden Rooms, this project creates a seamless environment where productivity, fitness, and mindfulness coexist under one roof offering a versatile retreat just steps from home.
Modern Design with Lasting Style
The exterior features Dura Composite cladding, offering a sleek, contemporary look with long-lasting durability. Across the front, aluminium bifold doors open fully to the garden, connecting the interior with an outdoor seating area where a sofa and coffee table provide a space to unwind or enjoy a moment of reflection. The combination of clean lines, neutral tones, and expansive glazing gives the building a modern, open feel that complements the surrounding greenery.
A Light-Filled Workspace
Inside, natural light and smart layout set the tone. A desk positioned directly in front of the bifold doors allows for bright, uninterrupted views of the garden, creating an inspiring environment for work or study. A rooflight further enhances the space, flooding it with daylight and making the room feel airy and uplifting.
A dark green feature wall anchors the interior, with a TV mounted centrally and two small windows on either side, adding balance and a sense of focus. The combination of light, colour, and texture ensures the space is versatile, stylish, and comfortable, ideal for both work and relaxation.
Zones for Fitness and Mindfulness
The design incorporates distinct areas for wellbeing and physical activity. Next to the TV wall, black gym flooring defines a functional home gym corner, complete with a weight bench, dumbbells, and training accessories. Opposite, a dedicated yoga area provides a calm space for stretching, meditation, or mindful movement. By clearly separating these zones, Hawksbeck has created a space that supports multiple activities without feeling crowded or cluttered.


A Space That Evolves with You
The flexibility of this garden room makes it a true extension of the home. Morning yoga, afternoon work, and evening workouts can all take place in the same space, yet each activity has its own defined area. The careful consideration of materials, lighting, and layout means the room remains open, inviting, and practical no matter how it’s used.
Every detail from the positioning of the desk to the contrast between gym flooring and feature walls contributes to a space that adapts to the homeowner’s lifestyle, rather than forcing them to adapt to it. This is a room designed not just to be used, but lived in, experienced, and enjoyed, reflecting Hawksbeck’s commitment to creating garden spaces that enhance daily life.
