Project Friary
Located in the heart of Winterbourne, Bristol, this sensational contemporary garden has been brought back to life.
The Brief
The garden room was the main focus for our clients here. Working from the dining table in the midst of everyday family life was becoming increasingly difficult. Our clients needed somewhere where they could work, entertain and relax all in one place. As a young family, they wanted a contemporary and classy vibe which was also practical and easy to maintain.
And WOW, the finished project has exceeded even our own expectations.
The Design
OUR STORY
The Build
The Garden
We sourced the most stunning ‘A Grade’ Western Red Cedar cladding for the face of the garden room. Although this material does add on significant extra costs, we think that the result is simply jaw-dropping – and worth every penny! The beautiful long grains and varying tones throughout this natural product are mesmerising, especially at night when the feature spotlights showcase its myriad charms.
The remaining sides and front-edging panels were painted with top quality ‘ProTek Ebony’ wood satin to give the space a modern, cultivated look. Internally, we installed a bespoke workstation and bar, incorporating seamless floating shelves throughout. The room was painted bright white and finished with super hardwearing LVT flooring.
We laid smooth sawn and honed Indian sandstone in the garden to provide a sleek, clean-cut finish. This increasingly popular stone connects all of the zones and really brings the garden together. Locally sourced pots and a raised planter bed feature were stocked with mature trees, perennials, creepers and grasses to provide dynamic and varying colour throughout the year. The beautiful concrete decorations and amazingly detailed Buddha were also added to bring variation and focal features.
This project truly was a pleasure to work on from start to finish and we are extremely proud of it.
'WOW, still can’t believe the garden/garden room is ours!
Scott Brothers took some limited ideas we had and turned them into a design I thought I could only dream of. They then turned that design into a reality and it’s just incredible. We love our new garden and garden room, it’s amazing. Thank you so so much.'
