Bespoke Garden Room: Mr. Leeson’s Gym, Hot Tub & Office Space
06/11/2024
When Mr. Leeson decided it was time to reclaim a bedroom in his house that had become his home gym, he turned to Fitrite for a solution. With his family growing, he needed extra living space but wasn’t keen on upsizing his property. Instead, he wanted something that could provide the “wow” factor while meeting his family’s needs, and Fitrite was ready to deliver.
The Brief
Mr. Leeson’s vision wasn’t just for any garden room; he wanted a space that would allow him to build a state-of-the-art gym, but also a hot tub room where he and his family could unwind. With plenty of garden space to work with, he knew a large garden room wouldn’t overpower the area.
Fitrite immediately saw the potential for creating something extraordinary for this client. They worked with Mr. Leeson to design a garden room that combined functionality with an eye-catching design with the intention that it would stand out while still blending in seamlessly with his garden.
Fitrite’s Bespoke Solutions
What sets Fitrite apart from many garden room companies is our bespoke approach. While other providers offer fixed sizes and limited flexibility, Fitrite tailors everything to the client’s needs. For Mr. Leeson, this meant designing a space that fully made use of the available area, including a triangular section of the garden that became his home office. With this clever use of space, Fitrite created a comfortable office nook with ample room for a desk and office equipment.
The result was a multi-functional space that catered to Mr. Leeson’s work from home needs without compromising the gym and hot tub features.
The Garden Hot Tub Experience
Creating a hot tub area within a garden room presents unique challenges, however, our team rose to the occasion, designing a room with specialised flooring, heating and ventilation systems to handle the heat and moisture the hot tub would generate. This unique addition turned the garden room into a personal retreat for Mr. Leeson and his family – a place to relax, entertain friends and recharge after long days.
An Efficient Installation Process
Fitrite’s use of Ground Screw technology made the construction process smoother than traditional methods. Unlike concrete bases, which can be time-consuming and intrusive, Ground Screws provided a quick, stable foundation for the large structure. This technology allowed Fitrite to keep the building efficient and reduce disruption to Mr. Leeson’s garden.
The garden room itself was constructed with an insulated galvanised steel frame, which provides durability and longevity. Despite the scale of the project, the build was completed without any hiccups thanks to Fitrite’s meticulous attention to detail and expert team.
Decking and Entertainment
But Mr. Leeson didn’t want his garden room to just be about indoor comfort. He envisioned it as a hub for outdoor entertainment as well. Fitrite, known for our bespoke decking solutions, created a stunning, spacious deck that matched the garden room’s design. The decking was illuminated with LED lighting, making it the perfect spot for year-round gatherings with family and friends.
Overcoming Challenges
As with any large-scale project, a few unique challenges arose, the main one being making sure that the hot tub room could handle the heat and moisture generated by the system. Fitrite adapted their standard flooring and introduced enhanced ventilation systems to prevent moisture buildup. This attention to detail made certain that the ‘home spa’ experience was luxurious and worry-free.
The End Result
In the end, Fitrite delivered a garden room that not only met but exceeded Mr. Leeson’s expectations. His family now enjoys a beautiful, multi-purpose space that compliments their lifestyle – whether they’re working out in the gym, relaxing in the hot tub or entertaining on the deck. This project highlights Fitrite’s ability to create bespoke solutions tailored to their clients’ unique needs, from design to installation.
