What is a Rotunda?

A Rotunda is a handcrafted, bespoke timber-framed modular eco-building designed to offer versatile, sustainable living and working spaces. Known for their unique circular design and eco-friendly construction, Rotundas can be found across the UK and Europe in a variety of settings.

Bespoke 

Bespoke, Modular, and Tailored to You, each Rotunda roundhouse is crafted in the North West of England and transported as pre-fabricated panels, ready to be installed on-site. Our skilled joinery team can have your Rotunda fully installed and finished from 10 working days (subject to size and design specification).

 

Every Rotunda is supplied with:

  • Argon-filled double-glazed windows

  • Damp-proof membranes

  • Standard internal electrics

  • Customised interior and exterior finishes​

​

Every building is tailored to suit your specific needs, including the positioning of windows and doors. Many of our clients opt to add radial extensions for bathrooms or kitchens, and some choose to enhance their Rotunda with a veranda for sheltered outdoor seating.

Sizes and Configurations

Our timber-framed Rotundas come in various sizes, from compact 4m diameter garden offices to spacious 12m diameter educational buildings. These modular structures can be extended, connected, and configured in countless ways to suit your unique project.

Whether you need a granny annexe, garden studio, yoga room, school classroom, or a holiday cottage, the Rotunda is the perfect solution for a truly uplifting and sustainable building experience.

​

Note: While many garden rooms or studios may not require full planning approval, if you intend to connect to mains drains or use the building commercially or as guest accommodation, planning permission may be required.
