Nestled in the heart of Chelmsford, Essex, this 32sqm garden room by Hawksbeck Garden Rooms redefines what a home studio can be blending luxury, functionality, and creativity in one beautifully designed space. Thoughtfully crafted for a professional musician, this bespoke build serves as both a high-end recording studio and a serene retreat, offering a perfect balance between productivity and relaxation.

A Bespoke Design for Creative Living

From the outside, the rich cedar cladding creates a warm, natural aesthetic that sits harmoniously within the surrounding garden. Large bifold doors span the front elevation, flooding the interior with light and seamlessly connecting the lounge to the outdoor patio. This exterior space is complete with comfortable seating and an al fresco dining area, creating an inviting spot to take breaks, entertain guests, or find inspiration outdoors.

Step inside, and the Chelmsford garden space immediately opens up into a bright, multifunctional layout designed around the client’s creative workflow. The dedicated music studio forms the heart of the project, fully sound-treated and equipped with high-spec recording and mixing gear. Every inch of this room has been designed to enhance acoustics and focus, from the positioning of monitors to the ambient lighting that sets the perfect mood for long studio sessions.

Everyday Comfort Meets Professional Functionality

While the studio is a professional-grade workspace, the wider garden room has been designed for comfort and everyday living. The integrated kitchen unit provides everything needed to keep energy levels high throughout the day, ideal for long recording or mixing sessions without the need to head back to the main house. Adjacent to this is a private bathroom, offering total convenience and self-sufficiency, turning the studio into a truly independent space.

The open-plan lounge area adds a sense of calm and relaxation, with a cosy sofa dressed in soft cushions and blankets, and a TV for winding down after a creative burst. The overall interior aesthetic is bright and contemporary, with natural materials, soft tones, and subtle lighting choices that make the space feel warm and welcoming year-round.

The Perfect Blend of Work and Wellbeing

What makes this Hawksbeck project truly special is its balance, a space that encourages creativity without compromising on comfort. The flow between the studio, living, and outdoor spaces reflects the client’s lifestyle, allowing them to transition effortlessly between focused work and relaxation. Whether mixing a new track, enjoying coffee on the patio, or watching a film in the lounge, every detail has been designed to enhance wellbeing and inspiration.

This creative garden studio retreat in Chelmsford stands as a testament to Hawksbeck’s commitment to bespoke, high-quality garden rooms. By combining luxury living with professional performance, it offers the ultimate dream workspace, a place where creativity thrives, comfort surrounds you, and inspiration is always just a few steps from home.
