Garden Studios
Our garden studios combine contemporary architecture with sustainable materials, offering flexible work or living spaces. Designed for rapid installation within 5 days, these structures feature high-performance insulation and Scandinavian double glazing. Clients benefit from fixed pricing and optional planning permission assistance, with standard sizes ranging from 10m upwards while maintaining compliance with modern housing standards.
Eco Retreats
Luxurious eco-retreats merge sustainability with comfort, featuring integrated kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms. These modular holiday homes enable placement in environmentally sensitive areas through their green credentials. Available as individual units or clustered villages, they offer high rental potential while maintaining ecological responsibility through renewable material construction and energy-efficient systems.
Modular Homes
Architect-designed modular homes range from compact one-bedroom dwellings to four-bedroom family residences. Compliant with UK building regulations, these structures feature 225mm insulated walls and optional green roofs. The design process involves direct architectural consultation, ensuring each home adapts to specific site conditions while maintaining energy efficiency through low-energy heating and advanced glazing systems.
Commercial Buildings
Commercial projects include visitor centres, cafes, and office spaces constructed using modular timber systems. These buildings integrate renewable energy options like solar panels and air-source heat pumps. The construction method reduces on-site disruption while achieving high insulation values, with completed projects featuring prominently in architectural awards for sustainable commercial design.
School Facilities
Specialist educational buildings incorporate natural materials and daylight optimisation to enhance learning environments. Cedar-clad classrooms with optional green roofs improve thermal performance while internal birch panelling creates stimulating interiors. The modular system allows rapid installation without disrupting school operations, with proven benefits including 26% faster reading progress in naturally lit spaces.

Questions
Can Ecospace buildings be used for commercial purposes?
Yes, our modular structures serve diverse commercial applications including cafes, offices, visitor centres, and retail spaces. The construction system allows rapid installation with minimal site disruption while maintaining full compliance with commercial building regulations.
Do I need planning permission for a garden studio?
Many garden studios qualify as permitted developments requiring no planning permission. However, larger structures or those in designated areas may need approval. As qualified architects, we handle all planning applications and ensure compliance with local regulations.
How sustainable are Ecospace buildings?
Our structures use FSC-certified timber, 240mm insulated panels, and optional sedum roofs. The off-site construction process minimises waste, while Scandinavian underfloor heating and low-energy lighting systems reduce operational carbon footprints. Many projects achieve Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 compliance.
What's the typical cost of a modular home?
Prices start at £10,000 for compact garden studios, with full eco-homes ranging from £150,000. Costs vary based on size, specification, and location. We offer fixed-price contracts with no hidden fees, including delivery and installation within the quoted price.
Are Ecospace buildings covered by guarantees?
All buildings include a standard 5-year warranty covering structural integrity and workmanship, with optional 10-year extensions available. The modular system exceeds building regulation standards, with a designed service life of 60 years under normal maintenance conditions.
