Description
Myspace specialises in the creation of bespoke garden buildings in the Cambridge area.
From
foundations to finish each one of our beautiful garden buildings is
unique. Every studio is designed and crafted to the highest
specification and as individual as the client. Designs are based on
detailed discussions with the client, taking into account personal
preferences and requirements.
Everyone
needs their own space. Our buildings can provide you with a room, or a
number of rooms, for work, play or relaxation, at a lower cost than an
extension or a loft conversion.
The
majority of timber garden buildings do not require planning permission,
but we will be happy to advise you and make any necessary applications
on your behalf. myspace will arrange everything for you, from foundations to finish.
Every
myspace garden building is unique but every one is built to last, using
British Standard treated structural timbers, breathable waterproof
membranes and ventilated air gaps in the walls and roof.
Some of the many options are detailed below but please ask us if you don’t see an option you would like:
Insulation
High levels of insulation are used so that you can use your new space
all year round. Modern insulation of the type found in new houses or
loft conversions is commonly used but we are also used to using
environmentally-friendly products such as Thermafleece, made from
untreated British sheep’s wool.
Doors and windows
Choose from a range of styles. Doors and windows will have low E argon
filled double glazing (meeting the same insulation standards required
for new houses). Choose from the Farrow & Ball paint chart for the
paint colour.
Interior
Walls and ceilings are usually plastered but timber finishes are also
available. Typically, we use varnished pine floorboards as a floor
finish but you can opt for laminated flooring, tiles, vinyl flooring or
carpet. Everything is decorated in your choice of colours.
Exterior
Options include painted or stained shiplap, featherboard, cedar boards, cedar shingles or Thermowood.
Roof
Options include slate, tiles, cedar shingles, glass fibre/asphalt
shingles or Ardesia slates made from recycled rubber. Velux roof
windows can also be fitted.
Style and size
myspace will design the building after discussing your styling preferences and requirements.
Power and lighting
All arranged for you and installed and connected to the house supply by
a qualified electrician. All electrical work is certificated.
Additional options
myspace will be happy to incorporate a deck or veranda into the design
of your building. Landscaping around the building can also be arranged.
As each building is unique, it is not possible to provide a price list, but prices start at around £8,500 plus VAT. Contact
us to arrange a home visit. We will discuss all your requirements and
choice of materials, and then provide you with a design, detailed
specification and price within one week. If
you have a specific budget, we will be happy to work towards providing
you with a studio of a style and size that you can afford.
