Independent living, close to home

A proper home within your garden.

A garden annexe can bring a living area, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom into one self-contained space. Plan it around the person who will live there, their routines, privacy and changing access needs.

Oeco offers bespoke garden annexes with residential layouts. These are a different project from an office, gym or leisure room.

Interior inspiration

Discuss a garden annexe

Everyday living

Decide whether you need one or two bedrooms, a separate lounge, a kitchen or kitchenette and a shower room. Plan furniture, storage and clear circulation as carefully as the room divisions.

Comfort and independence

Think about the route from the main house, door openings, bathroom access, lighting and easy-to-use controls. Bring specific accessibility requirements into the design discussion from the start.

Residential services

Water, drainage, electricity, heating and ventilation belong in the initial brief. Explain who will occupy the annexe and how it relates to the main home so the correct planning and building requirements can be established.

Annexes and ordinary garden rooms follow different briefs.

Planning Portal’s outbuilding guidance does not cover separate self-contained living accommodation. Start with the residential use and the property’s planning authority, then develop the building and service specification. An annexe intended for family accommodation should not be assumed to be authorised for separate letting.
