The Brief
Two rooms,
one quiet building.
A two-volume garden pavilion uniting an entertainment lounge and a private working studio under one architectural roofline — separated by a recessed corner threshold and bound together by warm thermowood and slimline aluminium glazing.
The clients asked for a relaxed, cinematic entertaining space — pool, bar, vinyl, late suppers — alongside a separate, calm, daylit room for focused work from home. The architectural answer was a single linear roof shielding two distinct interiors, joined by a recessed corner of decking that quietly marks the threshold between leisure and labour.
Vertical thermowood cladding is laid in three subtly varied widths to animate the surface in late-afternoon light. A slim black aluminium fascia conceals integrated up-lighters, soffit speakers and the EPDM roof.
Inside
Three rooms within one roof.
Plate 02
The Studio
A private corner office with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two walls, custom oak shelving and a daylight-balanced workspace.
Plate 03
The Threshold
A composite-board terrace lifts the architecture above the lawn, with concealed up-lighters set into the timber soffit.
Why The Pavilion
Designed to last.
Detailed to perform.
Every Arden & Oak space carries the same four commitments. The Pavilion is no exception — it is simply a larger expression of them.

Built to endure
SFS timber frames, marine-grade fixings and a fully ventilated cavity — detailed for a UK climate, guaranteed for ten years.
No. 02
Insulated for British weather
120mm PIR to the roof and 90mm PIR to walls and floor produce an envelope warm in February and cool in August.
