One building, thirteen lives

For almost anything you need to separate from the house. The most common uses are a garden office, creative studio, salon or treatment room, gym and yoga studio, sauna, bar and games room, garden living room, pool house, guest room, self-contained annexe, playroom and personal retreat. And with the NOOK Double, a holiday let that earns its keep too. One building, many ways to live in it — only the furniture and interior layout change.

The NOOK Base (9.75 m²) suits a dedicated use with no plumbing: office, studio, gym, playroom or personal retreat. The NOOK Double (19.5 m²) is the one when you need a bathroom and kitchen: guest suite, self-contained annexe, pool house or holiday let. The NOOK Sauna is its own model — a complete outdoor sauna with its own vestibule. Tell us the use and we'll recommend the model and layout in your consultation.

It depends on your local council. In the UK, garden rooms are typically permitted development if they are single storey, not used as a separate dwelling, and within the size limits for your property — the NOOK Base at 9.75 m² generally falls within those rights, while the NOOK Double at 19.5 m² may need permission depending on your plot. NOOK provides a full technical dossier — plans, specifications and a technical report — to support your application once you've reserved. Always confirm with your local planning authority before deciding.

The price depends on the model, the finishes and the extras you choose. Rather than a generic figure, you can configure yours in minutes — model, cladding, interior layout and extras — and see the price instantly. That way the number you see is for your actual NOOK, not an estimate.

The NOOK Base installs in half a day and the NOOK Double in about a day. The NOOK Sauna arrives factory-assembled and is ready in around two hours. Everything sits on reversible screw piles — no concrete slab, no permanent building work — so the install is quick, clean and leaves the garden undamaged.

Yes. Every NOOK is built to permanent-building specification: 80 mm of insulation, double safety glazing and Energy Rating A certification. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, with four-season comfort — not a seasonal space you only use when the weather's good.

Yes. The screw-pile foundation is reversible, so a NOOK can be relocated or removed without leaving a concrete slab or a permanent change to the land. It's one of the reasons it appeals to owners who want a flexible asset rather than a fixed build.
