Summerhouse Wales

Lord Tennyson's Summerhouse

Summerhouses can be extremely relaxing places, somewhere to be without interruption or distraction,  close to the beauty of your garden.  It is perhaps unsurprising that  so many have found them ideal locations in which to work.  Lord Tennyson produced most of his work from the summerhouse he built on his Faringford estate, for example.  He is said to have painted dragons, sea serpents and kingfishers onto the window glass.  Einstein spent the years 1929-1932 in his summerhouse in Caputh, Germany.

The weather outside may be cold but that doesn't mean you have to wait until next summer to enjoy and be inspired by your surroundings.  Take a look here at an example of the best summerhouse Wales has to offer and then further explore the many beautiful summerhouse designs Big Green Space has to choose from, available in Wales and right across the rest of the UK.

Shade from the Sotogrande Sun in a Big Green Space Timber Pavilion

Last week saw us in Sotogrande, not too far from Gibraltar, installing a timber pavilion on a hillside with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.  The pavilion features a beautiful cedar shingle roof, the inside of which you can see in the photo below, and is built upon a slabbed base.  It is easy to understand why Big Green Space designs are popular the world over, they are classically simple, complementing any location with their elegance.  If you are interested in further details on these pavilions and other garden buildings, please follow the links at the bottom of the page.

Working from Home in Hampshire

Hampshire Garden Offices - click here for further information.

The founding members of Big Green Space came to Pembrokeshire from Hampshire a little over 3 years ago.  We still have many friends and family in the Hampshire area, as well as numerous trade and business contacts, so it made sense to us to focus on Hampshire as one of our key installation areas.  You can see below some photos from one of our garden office builds in this area.

The build quality is superb.  Big Green Space garden buildings are fully lined and insulated and we only use double glazed windows.  You can click here for further details about the Big Green Space garden office specification.

Home Office Heaven

Working from home is steadily on the increase.  We no longer need to fit into the traditional 9-5 working day pattern.  Working mainly or partly at home brings benefits which have been well documented, including better health for workers and better productivity for companies.  There are alos wider implications for society:  even if staff worked only an average of one day every two weeks at home, this would result in 10% fewer people commuting and travelling, which would have a massive impact on roads, trains and buses.

Tuff Sheds for tough weather

 

 Tuff Sheds for tough weather

 At Big Green Space we are famous for our Tuff Sheds.  No flimsy flat pack for us, that blows down in the first strong wind and leaks during its first winter.  Nope - our sheds are seriously strong.  And we can come install a shed for you anywhere in the UK.

Take a look at the Big Green Space garden shed and find out why our sheds are so strong.
