Contemporary summer houses provide valuable outdoor living space without incurring the costs or stresses associated with an extension project. Furthermore, they come equipped with insulation making them suitable for year-round use.

1. Glass Windows
Garden summer houses have become an increasingly popular way of enjoying your garden while adding value to its design. Most summer houses are equipped with insulation to ensure year round use – a great alternative to home extensions! Plus they can serve multiple functions from being an idyllic relaxing escape spot to garden offices and games rooms!
Contemporary summer houses vary significantly from their traditional counterparts in that they place emphasis on contemporary architectural features like glass windows and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. They can be constructed either vertically or horizontally clad and come in various sizes from small to large sizes.
Eurodita’s Euro68 window range was created with specific sizes that address various disadvantages. Each window size serves a particular function – such as providing ample light or taking advantage of views – or fitting into smaller spaces without compromising security or energy efficiency.
700x990mm windows are ideal for creating open living spaces and connecting interiors and exteriors seamlessly, providing maximum light while offering excellent insulation with twin rubber seals that deliver exceptional thermal performance reducing heating bills and costs.
Most modern summer houses are constructed using timber cladding that is treated against fungal attack and insect infestation, providing long-term protection from harsh weather conditions. Many also utilize an overlap construction technique which creates an organic look while adding support to their structures – something especially critical in an outdoor garden building as its roof may be more exposed than in sheds or log cabins and will need extra support against heavy snow or winds.
2. Double Doors
A summer house is an iconic element of any garden. Providing peaceful retreat, garden focal point or entertaining venue; its design can range from traditional to contemporary depending on your preference.
Traditional summer houses are constructed of wood to resemble charming country cottages. They often boast pitched roofs, decorative windows and an overall relaxed aesthetic suited for garden getaways or retreats. But more homeowners today are seeking more modern renditions of this timeless classic structure.
These contemporary designs boast sleek lines and innovative architecture. Their functional designs emphasize seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces while maximising natural lighting through large windows. Such versatile summer houses can serve as garden offices, studios or relaxation retreats.
Consider purchasing a modern summer house equipped with double doors for added security and privacy, which can also be opened wide to let in natural light. When combined with the appropriate furniture, such as hammocks and plant stands, your garden retreat can become the ideal space for unwinding or socialising with family and friends.
Choose a log cabin summer house for something truly exceptional. This type of summer house combines the best qualities of both rustic aesthetics and practical functionality to offer something truly remarkable.
Corner pent summer houses offer another creative solution to maximising outdoor space usage. Their squared design fits snugly into any corner, with roof slopes in one direction for optimal use of corner gardens.
3. Floor-to-Ceiling Windows
Floor-to-ceiling windows are an effective way of creating an indoor/outdoor experience in your summer house. By maximising outdoor views and letting in natural light, they make the space feel larger while adding an air of sophistication and luxury.
Large expanses of glass are also an invaluable way to keep your home warm in the winter. Thanks to modern window and door technologies like warm-edge spacer systems, floor-to-ceiling windows have become extremely energy efficient – while triple pane glass, foam insulation, and Low E glass coatings help further increase efficiency while saving on energy bills.
No matter if you choose picture windows that do not open or combine them with smaller-scale awning windows and transoms to form a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, the outcome is sure to be stunning. Keep in mind, however, that floor-to-ceiling windows require frequent cleaning in order to remain looking their best; since they’re higher up than other windows they might even require ladder access to reach them regularly.
Window walls make an excellent addition to a contemporary summer house, which emphasizes sleek design and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Sunrooms with window walls also serve a variety of functions ranging from relaxing, dining and working/playing areas.
Although modern windows might appear impractical at first glance, modern ones are actually more efficient than ever before. Utilizing technologies such as warm-edge spacers and Low-E glass, modern windows help keep homes cool during summer heat waves while warming in winter months. Furthermore, natural light from outdoors allows more comforting illuminations into our lives that improve mood and productivity levels.
4. Open Plan
Contemporary summer houses are the ideal way to add modern design into your garden. Boasting both aesthetic and functional designs, these structures allow you to transform outdoor space into an elegant retreat which can serve as relaxation area, entertainment room or home office.
Modern features often include expansive floor-to-ceiling windows without Georgian framing or latticework, creating a sleek silhouette and instantly recognising it as part of your garden. A low pitch pent roof adds another modern element.

5. Natural Light
Lighting up your summer house is essential if it will serve as an area for work, meditation or relaxing. A combination of desk lamps, wall lighting or table lamps on your sideboard will create a soothing environment in which to read or work.
Include natural lighting when designing your garden building to make it usable all year-round and you will enjoy its benefits even during the dark winter months. At our custom summer house services, we always advise our customers to consider this factor when creating their dream space.
Modern garden summer houses are versatile pieces that can be tailored to suit any taste. Choose from various colors, finishes, and materials to design a space that reflects who you are as an individual; add custom size/shape windows/doors for an experience tailored to fit perfectly in your garden space.
For a contemporary feel, choose light paint shades that blend in well with the colors found in your garden’s flowers or plants, then incorporate modern style furniture or fittings as accents throughout. Furthermore, solar lighting may help make your summer house even more energy efficient and eco-friendly!
If you prefer more classic looks, a shabby chic themed summer house may be just what you’re after. Make it feel cozy by using soft fabrics in pastel tones with floral patterns or choose one that best represents your own personal taste; add decorative touches like reed diffusers and family photographs for extra impact. Or if nautical is what appeals, go all-out by utilizing red, white and blue colour schemes that evoke seaside serenity as well as adding themed accessories such as brass convex mirrors, model boats, jolly buntings etc!
