Top tips to consider when thinking of investing in a garden room:
Identify the Purpose Early: Decide on the primary function of your garden room (home office, gym, yoga space) as it will guide the design, size, and location. Consider aspects like window placement for natural light and positioning for privacy or views.
Budget Wisely: Don’t let budget constraints limit your aspirations. Work with experienced professionals to find bespoke solutions that align with your financial plan, ensuring the space adds value to your home without breaking the bank.
Plan Your Timeline: Understand that the timeframe for completing your garden room project varies. Standard projects can be delivered within six months with an onsite timescale of four to six weeks, while more complex designs may take longer. Planning ahead is crucial.
Consider Location and Positioning Strategically: The location of your garden room can impact its design and utility. Account for sun exposure, privacy, views, access, and noise. A well-thought-out location enhances the room’s functionality and enjoyment.
Understand Foundation Requirements: Most garden rooms require a concrete base. If you’re managing the project yourself, include this in your budget and timeline. Remember to consider the base work’s impact on the overall height to comply with regulations.
Check Planning Permissions: In Scotland, many garden rooms don’t require planning permission if they meet specific criteria related to size, height, and use. However, for projects that fall outside these criteria or if you live in a conservation area, planning permission may be required.
Maximise Your Space: A garden room can serve multiple purposes—be it a play area for kids, an art studio, or a tranquil spot to enjoy your garden. A bespoke design ensures the space meets your needs and enhances your lifestyle.
A bespoke garden room by Mozolowski & Murray is more than just an addition to your home; it's a lifestyle enhancement.

In an era where technology and urbanisation continue to dominate, there's a growing movement that seeks to bridge the gap between humans and the natural world. This movement, known as biophilic design, is not just a trend, but a testament to our inherent need to connect with nature. Rooted in the concept introduced by Edward O. Wilson in the 1980s, biophilic design emphasises a human-centred approach that integrates the beauty and complexity of nature into our living and working spaces. It's an approach that Mozolowski & Murray, with over three decades of expertise in bespoke glass and hardwood timber structures, continues to embrace.
Our commitment to integrating the natural world into our architectural designs is not just a trend but a fundamental aspect of our philosophy, ensuring that each project we undertake is a testament to the symbiotic relationship between human well-being and the natural environment.
The Philosophy of Biophilic Design in Every Structure
Biophilic design is about more than just adding plants to indoor spaces; it's a comprehensive approach to design that seeks to reconnect people with nature. This philosophy is woven into the fabric of every Mozolowski & Murray project. From conservatories that offer panoramic views of the outdoors to orangeries that bathe in natural light, our designs are meticulously crafted to enhance mood, stimulate creativity, and improve overall well-being. By incorporating elements like living plants, water features, natural light, connective patios and using materials such as wood, stone, and natural fibres, we create spaces that not only echo the beauty of the natural world but also promote a sustainable lifestyle.
Sustainability and Craftsmanship: A Core Principle
At Mozolowski & Murray, our dedication to biophilic design is paralleled by our commitment to sustainability. Utilising responsibly sourced materials and eco-friendly construction practices, we ensure that our luxurious structures not only meet the aesthetic and functional needs of our clients but contribute positively to the environment. This commitment to eco-conscious design aligns with the core principles of biophilic design, promoting a harmonious relationship between human-made structures and the natural world.
Customised Design: Tailored to Your Biophilic Needs
Understanding the unique desires of each client, Mozolowski & Murray offers personalised design solutions that seamlessly integrate with the natural and architectural elements of their homes. Our approach to biophilic design is flexible and innovative, allowing us to create spaces that reflect the complexity and unpredictability of natural environments. Through varied sensory experiences, nature-inspired materials, colours, shapes, and patterns, we design environments that are not only visually appealing but also deeply connected to the natural world.
From Concept to Completion: A Seamless Journey
Embarking on a project with Mozolowski & Murray means entering into a partnership that values ease, efficiency, and excellence. Our integrated project management service ensures a smooth journey from the initial concept to the final execution. Managing every detail, we provide a hassle-free experience that allows our clients to enjoy the process of bringing their vision to life, confident in the knowledge that their project is an embodiment of biophilic design principles.

Our embrace of biophilic design principles is evident in every project we undertake, reflecting our belief in the importance of rekindling our bond with the natural world. Through our work, we are crafting spaces that are not just buildings but sanctuaries that promote well-being, enhance creativity, and foster a sustainable relationship with our environment.
As we move forward, the principles of biophilic design will continue to play a central role in the work we do, inspiring us to create spaces that bring the serenity and beauty of nature into our clients' lives. Join us in this journey towards a more connected and sustainable future, where every structure we create is a step closer to a world where living in harmony with nature is not just a vision but a reality.

As the lines between home and office increasingly merge, establishing a dedicated workspace in our homes has become crucial for many. Consequently, opting for a garden room remains the most adaptable and economical choice for an innovative home office solution, providing a tranquil and efficient sanctuary away from the primary living area. At the forefront of this growing trend, we are excited to share our expertise in creating the perfect garden room tailored to your specific requirements, as well as introducing our cutting-edge Pre-Designed Garden Room Range for those seeking ready-made solutions.
Identifying the Purpose Early On
The function of your garden room shapes its design, size, and location. Whether it's a city-dwelling gym requiring privacy after a stressful workday at home or a tranquil nook where your garden office can become your evening yoga space, considerations like window placement, and overall positioning are key for creating a space that’s useable and comfortable all year round.
Navigating Budget and Cost
Budget considerations are paramount, yet they needn't limit your aspirations. At Mozolowski & Murray, we have over 30 years’ experience in crafting garden rooms to deliver bespoke solutions that align with your financial plan. Our expertise ensures that your investment delivers a space that is both affordable and of exceptional quality guaranteed to add significant value to your property and lifestyle.
Timeframe Considerations
The timeline for delivering your garden room can vary, influenced by its design and scale. Our capability to design and manufacture in-house at our factory in Kinross, allows for delivery within 4-6 weeks for standard projects. More complex or larger projects may require additional time, a factor we establish and plan for from the outset.
Strategic Location and Positioning
Location can influence design. If your garden room is positioned to enjoy the sunrise/set, then a canopy or overhang may help prevent glare. If your garden is regularly exposed to weather, for example, then French doors may suit over patio doors. Thought should also be given to securing the best view from your garden room. If privacy is important then think about what position will help achieve this or how this will influence the overall design. Other considerations are light, access, distance from the house, surrounding noise and how you want to view your garden room from the house.
Foundations and Preliminary Work
Most garden rooms will require a concrete base. Mozolowski & Murray project manages all this for you, however, if you are overseeing the build yourself, you will need to factor this into your costs and timeframe.
Your base work will also affect the overall height of your garden room as you will likely include decking, blocks, paving or a timber base, so you should factor in around 20-30cm when calculating the overall height of your garden room to ensure it complies with height regulations.
Understanding Planning Permission
In the majority of cases, planning permission is not required in Scotland if:
For designs that are out with the above specifications such as double storey garden structures, planning consent will most likely be required which can take up to 3 months to process.
Conservation Areas:
Planning Permission will be required if you live in a conservation area. Depending on the circumstances, your design proposal may be referred to Historic Scotland. At Mozolowski & Murray we offer a full project management service so we can take care of every aspect of the planning, design, build and installation process for you. If, however, you are researching the project yourself, visit your Local Authority Planning portal online to determine if this is something which might affect you.
Whether you need more space for your kids to play, an office away from the house, a gym, art studio, bedroom, or a space to enjoy your garden at any time of year, a bespoke garden room by Mozolowski & Murray will not only enhance your lifestyle but will add significant value to your home.
