Smart Garden Rooms building of the year

Smart Garden Offices has just announced the winners of its inaugural building of the year competition, chosen from customers who have bought one of their models. The winner is Georgina Hanser from Fairview Farm, near Ipswich who uses her Suffolk Barn model (pictured above) as
day provision for young people aged 16-30 with disabilities or difficulties. Georgina calls the garden office 'Willow' and won £100 in National Garden Centre tokens and a photoshoot of her building

“As a relatively new organisation which provides aspirational day care for young adults with disabilities, we believe a high-quality environment is an essential component of our ethos," she said. "The beautiful yet practical barn has provided us with a dedicated creative space where a wide range of activities are facilitated all year round. Equally, the additional space has enabled us to increase the number of young people we can support each day and subsequently appoint two more fantastic staff."

Runner-up was Hertfordshire-based Simon Thompson with his Ultra Extro. Click here to see more images of his atmospheric interior and inside Willow. -------------------------------------------------------
