Excerpt via our website ~ The Gibraltar Cabin is a clever little cabin design that includes a porch with a very attractive eye-catching barrel arch at the entrance. The single door is complimented by an additional five foot wide double door on the gable end. The elegant country charm is achieved with the large barn sash windows and rustic board and batten siding and is protected by a green corrugated metal roof.
The post and beam frame makes this cabin a strong backyard out-building. A sturdy interior work bench has also been included. This rugged and attractive design is beautiful from the front view. This versatile design can be configured for many uses. It will make a perfect cabin, tiny house, getaway retreat, art studio, home office, garden or potting shed, kids playhouse, a pool house. Fitted with large double doors, the Gibraltar cabin is very capable of handling all your storage needs.
Any of our buildings can be customized to fit all of your needs. We offer insulation, plumbing and electrical packages; alternative choices for roofing, siding, flooring, windows, and doors; and other custom options such as built-in storage, decorative arches, cupolas, painting, staining, and flower boxes. Take a look at what we have to offer on our Options Pricing page or give our design team a call for a quote.
The basic model of this style is available as cabin kits (estimated assembly time - 2 people, 32 hours), diy micro cottage house plans, or fully assembled micro cabins.

The industrious clients came to us with dreams of a new garage structure to provide a home for all of their passions. The design came together around a three car garage with room for a micro-brewery, workshop and bicycle storage – all attached to the house via a new three season porch – and a native prairie landscape and sauna structure on the roof.

Multi functional garden room for a London family. This building is clad in composite cladding and aluminium anthracite windows. It has a green roof and large sliding doors. This family needed more space and wanted to have a flexible space. This garden room is both an area to come and relax in or work from. It is complete with all media facilities serving both work and leisure purposes. It also has a kitchenette with a fridge and sink. Along with a bathroom complete with sink, toilet and shower so that this space also doubles as guest accommodation.
The studio is lined with spruce plywood and is heated by a Morso wood burning stove. A rooflight illuminates the far wall so that it appears to glow when viewed from the house. A large glazes slider allows the studio to be entirely open to the garden in good weather.

Located just 7 miles from our own offices in Charlbury, this building is one of Sylva’s most local projects.
When the client purchased
The Old Farmhouse in Long Hanborough, it came complete with planning permission to construct a new home in the garden. However, these plans did not suit the young family’s needs.
Instead, new plans were drawn up for a double garage along with premises for their flower arranging business. Across the top of the garage sits a 1-bed annex complete with it’s own bathroom, sitting area and separate access via the external oak stairs.Initially, the plan was for an oak framed structure, however the cost looked to be prohibitive given the building’s practical purpose. Instead, internal oak features were combined with oak cladding, stairs and handrails to give the look and feel of an oak structure.
The insulation for the shop part of the building was chosen carefully to maintain a stable temperature and humidity, which helps the flower stay fresh for as long as possible.
The client appointed a local builder to clear the site, install foundations and lay the ground floor. Sylva provided an insulated timber frame which comprised of smaller than usual panels due to restricted site access. The first floor was formed from metal web joists and finished with a loose cut roof, due to the gables and dormers required.
Sylva acted as principal contractor for the duration
of the timber frame works, providing all method statements and risk assessments. Time on site was 8 days from start to finish.
Once complete, the builder returned to install the roofing, cladding and windows, simultaneously overseeing the fit out internally; at the time Sylva did not have a Concept to Keys® service.
Completed in 2012, the total build duration was just under 6 months and the total cost came to around £85,000, a fraction of the time and cost originally thought to be involved in a blockwork construction.
Having dedicated premises for the business has helped it to flourish, the garage provides a place for cars and hobbies, and the annex is a great place for grandparents to stay when the babysitting has worn them out.
