Transforming a Georgian Front Garden: Bespoke Storage Solutions for Bikes and Bins

Transforming a Georgian Front Garden: Bespoke Storage Solutions for Bikes and Bins
An elegant Georgian terraced house in North London was undergoing a front garden and facade renovation. Our client's vision for her home required a solution to discreetly store two bins and three bikes while preserving the garden's open, uncluttered charm.
Discrete Premium Storage
Our client, with her exquisite eye for detail, had chosen light sandstone tiles in the garden and a beautiful olive render to echo the original features of her home. From the outset, it was clear that her solution had to be as discrete and elegant as practical.
Her priorities were:
- Maximising open space in the front garden by utilising the edge of the property.
- Ensuring the design echoed the property's gorgeous Georgian architecture.
- Prioritising aesthetics with a natural, organic look that would complement the overall elegance of the home.

Crafting a Bespoke Storage Solution
Our architectural team carefully designed a solution to meet our client's requirements. Following our process with an initial no-obligation site visit, a consultation call, and a few design options and material samples, we found the optimal solution:
- Material and Finish: We chose a weather-resistant FSC-treated and stained timber cladding for its natural appeal. Arranged vertically with a rich Walnut shade, the cladding was laid with minimal gaps, allowing the wood’s warmth and texture to take centre stage.
- Precision and Fit: Our storage structure, a bespoke design in itself, was designed to fit snugly around the property’s bay window, between the home's wall and its front property edge. Achieving a precision of milimeters between the bay window's sill and the new bike shed is proof of our attention to detail and our unwavering commitment to quality.
- A Garden Above: We incorporated a deeper roof tub reflecting the homeowner’s love for gardening. We laid over a drainage and waterproof layer to allow our client a thriving, biodiverse, elevated garden that would add a touch of greenery to an otherwise concrete front garden.

A Premium Bespoke Bike and Bin Shed
Our completed project is a beautiful connection between form and function. With space to discreetly house two bins and three bikes, the front garden is well organised and optimises the available space. With its posh Walnut finish, the vertical timber cladding pairs effortlessly with the sandstone tiles, creating a premium aesthetic.
The living green roof will add an organic elevated garden to the design and reflect the homeowner’s sophisticated taste. Every detail—from the precise fit around the bay window to the elegant lines of the timber cladding and the discrete olive-grey colour of the metal structure—was carefully designed to complement the property's character.
