Room for a view

Posted on October 26th, 2009

No need here to close your eyes and imagine the Summerhouse or Gazebo of your dreams! As our latest project reveals, we’re building and installing Summerhouses as individual as their owners and some with unique individual differences just like our clients. All are perfectly built, using the very best materials and all guaranteed to look stunning. No rust, no leaks, no flaking and no rotting.

Garden Summerhouses – more room for Outdoor living

Posted on October 15th, 2009

When it comes to creating more room for enjoying or making more use of the Irish garden, our beautiful but elegant Victorian Summerhouses are a classic but exquiste solution. Here are some photos from recently installed Victorian Summerhouses. In both cases the larger size model (diameter 12′ 0″/ 3600mm) is featured with some optional finishes.

The Victorian Summerhouse is ideal for a range of purposes/applications including Garden Room, Home Office, Art Studio, Music Practice Room. For more details :  http://www.owenchubblandscapers.com/summerhouses/

Design for Gardens at GARDENSTUDIO

Posted on June 8th, 2009

An update on the terrific graphic design work which is being done by  BAMMEDIA on our behalf. A big thanks to Bridget who is doing super work on defining our design identity and ethos for our GARDENSTUDIO and I’m sure you will agree, the graphics for Point of Sale Display panels featuring a selection of our Garden products many with Unique Styles is simply inspiring.

We had a fantastic response to our products at BLOOM 2009 and I look forward to welcoming many visitors to our new GARDENSTUDIO showrooms in Terenure.

We can also offer flexible visit times, eg, outside normal office hours as well as Saturdays. 

Our GARDENSTUDIO features an exciting range of unique and exciting well designed garden products including Water Features, Victorian Summerhouses, leisure Garden Furniture, Deroma Planters, handcast Bronze Garden Sculpture etc, several of which were exhibited with great success at BLOOM 2009.

BLOOM 2009 – a blooming success

Posted on June 1st, 2009

This years’ event the third in succession is certain to exceed all expectations. The weather has been magnificent and the paying public have come in droves. On Sunday alone the attendance figures were in excess of 18,000 and by the end of the show on Monday in excess of 60,00 visitors will have attended. 

As one of many particpating exhibitors, BLOOM 2009 has proved to have been an enormously successful event, and visitor interest in garden products contrasting starkly to some pre-event concerns that the current economic conditions and recessionary fears would have a significant dampening effect. Not so, the level of interest and purchases made by visitors at BLOOM 2009 was simply overwhelming and dispelled any evidence of recession.

We featured a cross selection of products from our GARDENSTUDIO and all proving very popular. Not surprising, there was great interest in our Victorian Summerhouses, TITAN stainless steel water features and of course our range of ORB Swing seats.

From the moment doors opened at 10.00am right throughout the day to closing time at 6.00pm, there was a consistent heavy traffic of visitors to our stand effectively resulting in opportunities for any break to be few and far. This has been very much the case since the show started last Thursday! Monday is the final day it will no doubt be as busy as previous days and one could be confident that it might in fact be the busiest of all days.

Although the fine almost Mediterranean type weather has been a contributory factor in the success of this years’ event, there is no doubt that the organisers and exhibitors have also made great efforts to make this year’s show better than ever. Ultimately great thanks and acknowledgement must be made to the paying public who once again  demonstrated clearly in their tens of thousands that under the right circumstances taht there is considerable demand and interest in gardening and that over the last few days at least there was little evidence of any recessionary gloom.

Here are some photos of our product exhibits taken just before show opened on Sunday. I would also like to congratulate Eddie O’Brien, the Entrepeneur and inventor of  The Hangout Gazebo Clothesline (as featured on RTE’s Dragons Den) who co-exhibited on our stand with great success. The Hangout is an outstanding example of Irish enterprise and innovation and was hugely popular with visitors to BLOOM 2009.  Not surprising when you consider some of the Hangout’s product attributes including energy and cost savings, environmental friendly, multifunctional all weather clothesline which is also a useful garden centrepiece and ideal for a variety of garden entertainment activities. Congratulations and well done again Eddie who is seen demonstrating hanging clothes using the Hangout.

Room for more activity?

Posted on March 26th, 2009

Major career choices and decisions are driving the growth in demand for Garden Offices. When one considers the average daily commuting time for many people is now in excess of two hours and double that and more for some, it is hardly surprising that people are increasingly looking at the option of working from home. Many new business start ups also start out as home offices in the garden of the family home. The advantages are clear but careful consideration of your office needs and home garden can provide a win-win solution.

A Home Office and a Garden Room from Victorian Garden Architecture can make all the difference to ensuring you achieve maximum return for your investment. A Victorian Summerhouse can satisfy all the requirements for a Home Office together with all the benefits of a stunning Garden Room which has broad appeal for all the family. Unlike many contemporary Home Office designs, the classic design features of a Victorian Summerhouse are essentially an integral aspect of garden environments. Despite the origins as an elegant Garden Room or Studio, the Victorian Summerhouse is a synthesis of classic design and contemporary manufacturing methodologies. Unlike its predecessors, the modern Victorian Summerhouse is a result of some innovative design and smart modular manufacturing. Bespoke on-site construction methods have been replaced by an engineered factory built model. The customer benefits from superior specification and finish and installation which is completed in two days or less, which means minimum disruption and a more cost effective way of providing the additional space.

The Victorian Summerhouse - a synthesis of elegance and craftmaship

A Victorian Summerhouse is not only a practical solution for a Home Office but when you outgrow the need for a Home Office, you can be assured that you will continue to enjoy the many benefits of a Victorian Summerhouse as a classic Garden Room. The Victorian Summerhouse provides the extra space you need to work, rest and play.

Looking for the perfect Extra Garden Room?

Posted on November 28th, 2008

Some say that our house is an expression of who we are and how we live. But many aspire to wanting or needing more space, and for many the cost of moving or expanding is a big factor. Creating more space need not be the costly and time consuming challenge of building an extension.

The Victorian Summerhouse from Victorian Garden Architecture offers the perfect solution for people requiring the extra space in the garden for a lavish cosy garden room, a study, a home office, a play room or perhaps a games or music practice room. In fact there is no end to the range of activities with which our customers have enjoyed our Victorian Summerhouses.

Available in two sizes for 2-4 people or for larger groups, you can be sure that there is a size and a bespoke finish guaranteed to satisfy your extra space requirements as well as be a lavish addition to your garden. With
insulated roof space and double glazing throughout, the Victorian Summerhouse is not just a beautiful building but a most sophisticated, elegant and cost effective means of providing an Extra Room.
