Bespoke designs beautifully built by hand
Based in Hitchin and installing all over Hertfordshire and into North London
We design and build your garden room from start to finish, one small team with a single point of contact
A garden room is the simplest way to add year round usable space without the upheaval of an extension. Whether you need a quiet home office, a yoga space, a fully soundproofed recording studio or an outbuilding for the family, we handle the whole thing – from first concept to completion.
Every building is bespoke, built in solid timber and fully insulated for genuine year-round use. No flat-pack kits, no subcontracted crews – just careful, hand-built work that lasts.

All kinds of projects,
three main types of work
Garden Rooms & Studios
The heart of what we do. One beautifully made building, designed around how you’ll actually use it – and built to be just as good in January as in July.
- Cabins
- Garden rooms
- Studios
Bespoke Internal Fit-Outs
Custom joinery made to fit the room you’ve got. Built in, properly – so awkward corners, sloped ceilings and tricky alcoves finally earn their keep.
- Bars
- Media walls
- Bookcases
- Seating areas
- Fitted furniture
Commercial Projects
We have extensive experience in designing, project managing and building cafes, bars and retail spaces. As well as permanent spaces we also have experience in “Pop Ups”. Working with Look Mum No Hands building their summer season “Pop-Up” bars down by the river in London.

Recent projects designed and built by Strange Studios
Three steps, no surprises
Meeting
We always start with a meeting on site to chat over the project and your specific requirements.
We will discuss your hopes for the space, how you want it to work, look and feel. Before leaving we will take all measurements needed for a design.
Design
From the discussions we’ve had and the information we’ve taken we will draw up a bespoke design that will be fully costed.
We will put together a build schedule as well as payment schedule and then we will aim to get some dates in the diary, clearly setting out start and finish.
Install
Once our designs and quotations are agreed, we start. Nearly all our builds start Ground Screw Foundations, an eco-friendly, no concrete, no mess system. Next is the hand built timber framed structure, that we fully insulated and make weatherproofed. Always built with passion and always built to last. No two projects the same, but every project guaranteed to delight.
