About the company

Design Garden Spaces was started in 2018 by founder Dan Britton, an experienced carpenter. It is a family-run business. The team includes Dan Britton (Owner), Sophie Osbourne (Office Manager), James (Electrician), Jack (Electrician), Ben Waters (Plasterer), Ollie Crook (Plasterer), Sophie Brown (Carpenter), and Tim (Roofer).

The company designs and builds bespoke garden rooms, home offices, gyms, annexes, cabins, and timber frame extensions. It operates from offices in Bath and serves Bristol, Bath, the Cotswolds, and Wiltshire. The company uses 3D visualisation as a modern tool.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Craftsmanship and a genuinely bespoke approach are the themes that surface most often in feedback on this Bristol construction company, which customers routinely describe as delivering garden rooms, offices and gyms tailored precisely to the space and the brief rather than adapted from a standard design. Dan is named repeatedly, praised for technical skill, patience with design changes and a perfectionist attention to detail, while Sophie in the office and other team members including Jack and Joe are singled out for keeping clients informed from first enquiry through to completion.

Several reviewers highlight that promised dates were met and the process stayed stress-free, with clear communication maintained throughout. Tidiness and polite, professional conduct on site come up regularly, as does the willingness to work around existing features such as a mature oak or apple tree, or to accommodate a change of mind about a window midway through a build. Composite decking, raised beds, an artificial lawn and a covered gazebo with integrated shed feature among the completed projects, along with skylights and premium materials. Neighbours have remarked on the standard of finish, and the resulting rooms are used daily as offices, studios and guest accommodation.

Outstanding Quality and Service We couldn't be happier with our new garden room! From start to finish, Dan and both Sophie's were absolutely fantastic to work with. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered a truly bespoke service, creating a garden room that perfectly matched our vision. The quality of the build is outstanding and is loved by the whole family, serving as an office, cinema room, gym and guest room. The attention to detail, communication throughout the project, and professionalism of the whole team were second to none. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a bespoke garden room. Thanks to Design Garden Spaces for creating such an amazing space that we'll enjoy for years to come!

We are beyond thrilled with the incredible work Dan and his team did on our garden office! It’s rare to find a team that combines such high-level technical skill with a genuine, personal touch. They were consistently responsive and kept us perfectly informed with clear dates, making the whole process entirely stress-free. ​What truly sets them apart, however, is their ability to deliver premium features like the stunning skylight—a bespoke addition that so many other companies simply don't offer. It has completely transformed the space, flooding it with natural light and giving it that high-end, architectural feel we were looking for. The quality of the finish is breathtaking, and the entire journey was a total pleasure. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more—thank you!

From start to finish, Dan and his team were fantastic! We absolutely adore our new garden room and cannot thank DGS enough for all their hard work. We wanted a space where we could exercise, but also a place where we could relax and socialise with friends...and boy did DGS deliver!! Dan is clearly an expert in his field and his care and attention to detail is amazing. He made sure to consult us at every stage to ensure he was meeting our needs. We even had a change of design mid way through, which was handled with ease and professionalism. To be honest, it has worked out better than our original design. A special mention to both Sophie's. (Sophie) office was always on hand to deal with any of our enquiries or to inform us of any delays. Whilst Sophie (carpenter) was on sight nearly every day, working in all weathers, to ensure the room was built to the best standard possible. If you're looking for a bespoke garden room, Dan and his team at Design Garden Spaces are a must. You will get exactly what you want and more. Thank you again. Josh and Samantha

We couldn’t be happier with our garden room – it’s absolutely stunning and finished to the highest standard. Dan is a total perfectionist, and it shows in every detail. From the initial consultation to the final touches, he was professional, friendly, and completely focused on making sure everything was just right. The craftsmanship is second to none, and the space has completely transformed how we use our garden. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their work and takes pride in delivering perfection, Dan is your guy. Highly recommend!

We are over the moon with our bespoke garden room / gym. Dan and the team were excellent from start to finish incorporating changes to the design, a large roof light, helping us with choice of materials and ensuring that we were able to keep an established apple tree by incorporating it into the decking section. The room looks great - we are so chuffed with it! Thank you!
