The proposal seeks to create a family space at the rear of the garden. The space has been design to be flexible to accommodate uses such as a home office, gym and music practice area. The principal elevation that faces the house has been design to have minimal fenestration in order to maximise privacy into the garden room as well as minimise light pollution towards the adjoining neighbours. The materiality of the garden room is externally clad in charred timber. This frames the garden room amongst an existing composition of trees at the rear garden and is therefore a considered an appropriate material. The main entrance into the garden room is on the northeast elevation where glazing is full-height and provides views of the boundary wall beyond. This allows the rear brick boundary wall to appear as continuous and unobstructed into the garden room. This also allows the garden room to appear to have less bulk and more elegance. The garden room also includes a large skylight to the rear of the space. This allows for the framing of the large lime tree above where the skylight is situated under. The skylight is large in order to introduce light into the space out of the fact that there is a lack of windows on the western elevation in order to respect privacy to neighbours and offset the massing when viewed from neighbouring higher floors. This skylight will include blackout blinds to minimise light pollution to neighbours. The garden room also includes a window facing the allotment. This window allows the space to be ventilated naturally.
