Bespoke garden shed: clever use of space for irregular floor plans

Bespoke garden shed – clever use of space with an irregular floor plan

A bespoke garden shed really comes into its own where standard models are supposed to fit but simply don’t: along sloping boundaries, in alcoves and on leftover plots with irregular floor plans. This project in Aichach is a prime example of this. Between the house and the property boundary lay a space that no rectangular garden shed could have filled effectively. The solution: a bespoke design with a sloping wall that follows the boundary line exactly – transforming an unused nook into a high-quality feature of the outdoor space that adds value to the property.

The sloping wall: precision down to the centimetre rather than making do with leftover space

Where a plot boundary does not run at a right angle, a standard garden shed inevitably wastes space – leaving a wedge-shaped gap at the front and a dead corner at the back. With this garden shed, the rear wall was deliberately designed at an angle: the structure makes full use of the available space, right up to the boundary. From the outside, the shed looks entirely natural – the cubic design language is retained, and the slant only becomes apparent at second glance. This is precisely what a bespoke design aims to achieve: bespoke solutions that do not look like bespoke solutions.

Sliding door, glazing and passageway: a well-thought-out layout

The sliding door was deliberately positioned on the short side of the building – this lends the long façade a calm, uncluttered appearance. From the main house, the view falls upon a generous expanse of toughened safety glass, which breaks up the solid appearance and creates a sense of transparency. Designed as a classic passage house, the building connects two garden areas whilst also forming a spatial boundary with the garden. The choice of materials and lines harmonise with the existing pergola in the terrace area – the new build and the existing structure appear as if they were cast from the same mould. A similar solution can be seen in our garden shed with two doors and a passageway.

HPL by Trespa: the weatherproof cladding

The façade consists of HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) from Trespa – weatherproof, UV-resistant and frost-proof. The surface does not fade in the sun, rain washes away dirt, and there is no need for painting or impregnation in the long term; it is estimated to have a lifespan of around 50 years. Behind this lies a substructure made of C24 solid structural timber, statically calculated in accordance with Eurocode 5. The timber is protected by the structure itself – adjustable feet and under-floor ventilation rather than chemicals.

How your bespoke garden shed is created

It all starts with your specific situation: the plot, the boundary lines, and the intended use. On this basis, we design your bespoke garden shed – the floor plan, wall layout, doors, windows and roof overhang are tailored to your plot with centimetre precision. Sloping walls, passageways, extensions attached to a garage or house wall: whatever is structurally feasible will be implemented. You also choose the colour – there are over 250 HPL colours and finishes to choose from, and we’ll send free colour samples to your home.
