These outhouses are flush with luxury
U.K.-based My Outhouse is building structures in backyards in and around London— but it’s not what you’re thinking. At least, it’s not what an American might be thinking.
In the UK, the term “outhouse” applies to outbuildings, such as sheds, barns and upscale garden houses. And My Outhouse is a family business that’s been creating high-end garden rooms for relaxation (and sometimes work) for decades.
The company recently opened a new showroom just outside London in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. The garden room company’s new showroom is designed to display constructions of the different room types popular with previous clients, such as a garden studio, gym, office, summerhouse and man cave, to help them visualize and plan the ideal outbuilding for their home.
“Our company produces high-quality, low-maintenance builds for clients in Hertfordshire, Essex, London, and the surrounding counties,” said a spokesperson for My Outhouse. “As an environmentally friendly company, our buildings are built to last. We use composite cladding that does not require treatment, low-emission foundations, and very thick insulation to retain heat and reduce the need for heating. Our garden structures can be used all year round for people looking for some additional space for good value.”
The garden rooms available at My Outhouse are constructed to be accessible throughout the year and usable 24/7 due to possessing an insulation level similar to a newly built house and an innovative cladding system that is low maintenance and made largely from recycled material. This, along with foundations being built on high endurance ground screws that are removable, reusable and require minimal digging, offers clients an environment for all uses that retains heat and delivers low energy consumption.
My Outhouse says it is committed to protecting the environment and producing garden rooms made from the highest-quality sustainable and recycled materials. The Hertfordshire garden room company is in communication with suppliers about product sustainability and emission reduction during the production of materials to ensure outbuildings that are both long-lasting and environmentally friendly.
“Deciding who to entrust your building project to is a huge decision and should not be taken lightly. Our team creates made-to-measure rooms with fantastic designs that can give your outside space a modern, traditional or unique look while also being good for the environment,” said the spokesperson for My Outhouse.
