Los Angeles, CA - Contemporary architecture lends itself to create custom garage door designs that are interestingly unique. These reclaimed wood garage doors are not only eco-friendly but very appealing to the discerning eye. Re-purposing natural elements such as wood from an old barn can prove to be an outstanding design factor that makes a unique statement. These contemporary garage doors were ingenuously designed in a simple, minimalistic style that exemplify just how beautiful eco-friendly design can be as well as contemporary. Dynamic Garage Door custom designs contemporary garage doors in a variety of materials available today and why not make use of wood that would otherwise be tossed? We enjoy designing, manufacturing & installing garage doors that not only harmonize with the architecture of a home but that also tell a story in an eco-friendly fashion.

Umbau und Modernisierung Reihenhaus B in Neumarkt
Umbau und Modernisierung Reihenhaus B in Neumarkt

Dem vorhandenen Reihenhaus an der vielbefahrenen Ringstraße im Herzen von Neumarkt sollte neues Leben eingehaucht werden und somit modernes und offenes Wohnen ermöglicht werden. Das Volumen durfte aufgrund der Grenzbebauung und der städtebaulichen Vorgaben nicht verändert werden und gaben dem Entwurf somit die Rahmenbedingungen vor. Da die innere Struktur nicht erhaltenswert war, musste der ganze Bestand gänzlich entkernt werden. Lediglich die Außenwände und der alte Kriechkeller wurden erhalten und letzterer als Technikzentrale umfunktioniert. Das Ergebnis ist ein Neubau, welcher mit seiner Liebe zum Detail und einem sehr hohen handwerklichen Anspruch hervorsticht und sich gleichzeitig harmonisch in die Umgebung einfügt. Die einträchtige Zusammenarbeit zwischen Bauherrenschaft und Architekten führte zu einer sehr angenehmen und reibungslosen Abwicklung. Auch große Probleme wie die schwierigen und beengten Platzverhältnisse wurden von dem gesamten Team mit Bravour gemeistert. Bei einer insgesamt zur Verfügung stehenden Grundfläche von ca. 6,5 x 8,8m, beinhaltet der unscheinbare Baukörper Wohnen auf zwei Ebenen und einen offenen Schlafbereich im Dachgeschoss. Am Gebäude finden ausschließlich reduzierte und wertige Materialien ihre Verwendung, prägend ist hier vor allem das Spiel zwischen Holz und Beton. So wurden die Decken, die Treppenstufen und die Eingangsüberdachung in Sichtbeton ausgebildet. Auch der Spachtelboden im Erdgeschoss erhält die Optik des rauen, kühlen und haptischen Materials. Als gegensätzliches Element wurde die Weißtanne gewählt. Fenster- und Türrahmen, das Massivholzparkett im Obergeschoss, sowie die skulpturale Vertäfelung der Dachschrägen wurden aus diesem warmen und anmutigen Weichholz gefertigt. In den ausgebauten Dachstuhl führt eine schlanke Stahltreppe aus brüniertem Stahl. Den besonderen Charme verleiht dem Gebäude eine, an die Straße orientierte, spektakuläre Gaube, welche sich über zwei Geschosse erstreckt. Die daraus resultierenden Nischen im Gebäude laden als Ort zum Verweilen ein und gewähren gleichzeitig eine wunderbare Sicht auf den naheliegenden Park. Rückseitig befindet sich dagegen der liebevoll gestaltete und privat gehaltene Garten der Familie.

Miniature ManorsMiniature Manors
This sleek garden office was built for a client in West Sussex who wanted to move their home office out of the house and into the garden. In order to meet our brief of providing a contemporary design, we included Western Red Cedar cladding. This softwood cladding has beautiful tones of brown, red and orange. The sliding doors and full length window allow natural light to flood in to the room, whilst the desk height window offers views across the garden. We can add an area of separate storage to all of our garden room builds. In the case of this structure, we have hidden the entrance to the side of the building and have continued the cedar cladding across the door. As a result, the room is concealed but offers the storage space needed. The interior of the storage is ply-lined, offering a durable solution for garden storage on the garden room.

Redwood BuildersRedwood Builders
Redwood Builders had the pleasure of working with leading SF based architects Seth and Melissa Hanley of Design Blitz to create a sleek and modern backyard "Shudio" structure. Located in their backyard in Sebastopol, the Shudio replaced a falling-down potting shed and brings the best of his-and-hers space planning: a painting studio for her and a beer brewing shed for him. During their frequent backyard parties (which often host more than 90 guests) the Shudio transforms into a bar with easy through traffic and a built in keg-orator. The finishes are simple with the primary surface being charcoal painted T111 with accents of western red cedar and a white washed ash plywood interior. The sliding barn doors and trim are constructed of California redwood. The trellis with its varied pattern creates a shadow pattern that changes throughout the day. The trellis helps to enclose the informal patio (decomposed granite) and provide privacy from neighboring properties. Existing mature rhododendrons were prioritized in the design and protected in place where possible.

Previously rarely used yard becomes an action hub! Once the Studio Shed install team was wrapped up, the homeowner had a wrap-around, ground level deck installed...complete with hot tub! The large tree offers plenty of space for the kids to monkey around.

Modern Garden Shed and Building Ideas and Designs

Our garden sheds and outdoor buildings don’t have to be dumping grounds for tools, bikes, bins and all the extraneous items that haven’t found a home inside the house, instead they can be whole new spaces that you can turn your design eye to, just like any other room of the house. If you’ve lived in a small house or flat with no outside space, you’ll appreciate the added bonus an additional structure can give you. Homeowners across the UK and Ireland are transforming garden sheds, building garden offices and extending their homes to create modern garden rooms to really make the most of the space we have, because as we know, in some places in the UK and Ireland, space is like gold dust.

Which garden building should I go for?

It always makes sense to work with what you have, so if you have a garden shed already, think about how you could use it if you cleared it out and gave it a lick of paint. If you have nothing to work with apart from space and a budget, then the logical process is to think about what you need the space for. Garden sheds only need to be as big as what you need to store within them, so they could be an easier and cheaper alternative structure to a full garden building if you just need to store garden items, tools and bikes somewhere. If you have loftier ambitions and dream of a modern garden building that will be an additional living or working area, a separate garden room could be the answer. Large converted garden sheds or purpose built garden rooms can be used for separate work offices, studios, creative spaces, living areas, pool houses and so much more. With luxuries such as wireless internet and underfloor heating, and endless paint and decor options, the possibilities for your modern garden building are boundless. For the environmentally-conscious, eco-sheds featuring solar panels are an energy-saving solution that could benefit your household, and garden pods – prefabricated pod buildings for use as an office or extra living space – are easy, ready-to-go garden structures that are usually eco-friendly and energy efficient. Working from home often calls for a dedicated home office away from the distractions of the rest of the house, so garden offices or studios offer the ideal set-up: completely separate from the main house but close enough for emergencies, food supplies and bathroom breaks. They will also hopefully offer a peaceful and focused environment in the tranquility of your garden. Buildings in your garden don’t always have to be about practicality. You could let your imagination run wild and escape to the woods with a modern treehouse, and then your garden would certainly be the envy of all the children in the neighbourhood. Rope walkways, ladders, turrets, slides and firemen's poles are enough to keep any child occupied for hours on end. Even if you don’t have children yourself, an elevated wooden shelter attached to a tree is a good a place as any to enjoy your outdoor space, and isn’t that usually what garden buildings are all about? Besides the extra space they give you; garden rooms, summerhouses and converted garden sheds are wonderful for their location – outside in your garden. When the summer months come around, and we hopefully enjoy some good weather, all you want to do is spend as much time outside and with a garden building it’s possible to do so without compromising on furniture, shelter and all the amenities of indoors.

What design should I choose for my modern garden shed or garden room?

Sheds come in a full range of materials – metal and plastic garden sheds may prove more durable and weatherproof but classic wooden garden sheds offer the most opportunities for creative expression. If you’re thinking of a bigger structure, and appreciating your garden or outdoor area is important to you, large glass bifold doors can transform your garden room into a light-filled sunroom that opens right out onto your garden. For eco-lovers and those that want to retain a lush garden look, grass covered walls and roofs will help your garden room to blend in with its surroundings or wooden cladding will also give a natural look if you don’t want to to go all out with the grass. When it comes to your interior design, a habitable, high-spec garden room is really no different from any room in your main house, so the decisions will come down to personal style, taste and needs. Whatever outdoor structure you’re thinking of building or converting, be it a modern garden shed, treehouse, garden office or summerhouse, you’ll be able to find inspiration for all of them by browsing the photos on Houzz. Define your search by area, style or size to find what you want more easily.
