Stijn Garden Unit: an architectural garden space with an open feel

For this project, we created a modern garden unit made of wood and glass, designed as a bright, open, and multifunctional additional space within a green garden setting. The combination of a warm wooden facade and floor-to-ceiling glass creates a timeless, serene, and architectural aesthetic.

This garden unit demonstrates how a compact structure can evolve into a fully-fledged living or workspace, perfectly integrated into the garden.

Clean design with natural materials

The garden unit is constructed as a clean, rectangular volume featuring:

  • vertical wooden siding
  • sleek black window and door frames
  • a minimalist interplay of lines

The wood provides warmth and a natural look, while the glass and dark trim give the whole a contemporary character.

Full-height glass walls for maximum natural light

The front of the garden unit consists almost entirely of glass, featuring a large sliding window or door section. This provides:

  • abundant natural light
  • a strong connection between indoors and outdoors
  • a spacious and open feeling

The garden thus literally becomes part of the experience within the unit.

Multifunctional

This garden unit is suitable for a variety of uses, such as:

  • an office or home office
  • art studio or workshop
  • recreation room
  • practice space
  • multi-purpose garden space

Thanks to the open floor plan, the layout can be easily adapted to the desired use.

Seamless integration into the garden

The unit was placed on a discreet terrace or foundation and blends perfectly with the surrounding greenery. Thanks to its low profile and natural materials, the unit remains subordinate to the garden, while still offering clear architectural value.

The reflection of the greenery in the glass enhances the peaceful and harmonious character.

Comfortable and future-oriented

Behind the sleek design lies a comfortable and durable structure, suitable for daily use. The garden unit can:

  • be used permanently or temporarily
  • be customized in finish or layout
  • adapt to changing needs

This makes the solution future-oriented and flexible.
