InsideOut Buildings: garden offices without compromise
Lancashire-based InsideOut Buildings design, supply and build environmentally sensitive outdoor granny annexes and garden office spaces. A top quality timber frame room in the garden is a real alternative to moving house and a solid investment in uncertain times. InsideOut have carefully researched natural building materials that look beautiful as well as being energy efficient and eco-friendly. This unique combination of cutting edge methods and traditional materials make InsideOut Buildings function as effectively as any indoor room. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, and require minimal heating.
InsideOut Buildings source materials for their garden offices locally wherever possible, choosing UK suppliers who have high levels of environmental integrity and smaller carbon footprints. As a result the company’s long-life, natural construction materials use very little energy compared with imported materials, man-made UPVC and other plastics.
Traditional ‘breathing wall’ building methods combined with eco-friendly insulation means InsideOut buildings enjoy super-efficient air circulation and no condensation. Global warming is made worse by the 25% of CO2 emissions that come from domestic buildings. We specify materials manufactured in the UK using low levels of industrial energy, chemicals and transport to reduce CO2 emissions.
Low-E double glazing, Scottish larch cladding and cedar roof shingles combine with low toxicity water-based paints and stains to create garden rooms and offices with reduced environmental impact. InsideOut never compromise on quality and take pride in fine craftsmanship. This, combined with truly intelligent design, makes InsideOut’s buildings highly economical to run, with very little heating and no air conditioning needed. And, unlike many semi-permanent garden buildings, they are real buildings, constructed to last for decades.
