Garden Therapy Room
Iain says...
Alex and I recently visited an 18' x 12' (5460mm x 3640mm) QC studio which is used for psychological therapy by Rea. The cost of this is circa £24k...(Rea got local tradesmen to install her toilet and compact kitchen)...
Rea - the lady who the therapy studio belongs to, said "I did lots of research but kept coming back to the Booths website because I didn't want to have to look after the exterior. I haven't got the time or inclination to organise the painting or staining of exterior timber and I knew if I didn't, that any timber exterior would end up looking shabby. Having a professional looking garden room was very important for the work I do."
Rea continued..."Now my garden studio therapy room is installed I'm going to landscape around it. I want the whole garden to enhance the experience for my clients so want my garden to look as good as my garden studio."
Rea used a stunning wallpaper for one of her walls in her main consultancy room...
She also designed a compact kitchen for her therapy garden studio which features a built in dishwasher, small worktop and cupboards for storage. This means after making teas and coffees for her clients, she simply puts all the cups in her dishwasher, switches it on at the end of her sessions, and they are all clean and ready for her the following day.
Rea also designed a waiting room for her clients in which she has a radio playing - this helps keep whatever's being discussed in the main consulting room, private. The waiting room is positioned at the farthest end away from the consulting room and has a toilet cubicle between the two - this further enhances the privacy required between the two rooms...
Alex, Rea and I discuss her therapy studio in this video...
In this video Alex discusses your options when it comes to having a mains toilet in your garden studio. Rea had her toilet and compact kitchen installed by local installers since Booths just installed the internal walls for her. Booths can install toilets, kitchens and showers but we may be more expensive due to travel and hotel costs - something a local installer wouldn't have. Having said that, many customers get us to do all the work as they only want to deal with one supplier...
Rea gives us a quick tour of her garden studio therapy room in this video...
