At Rotunda Eco Build, we’re passionate about creating eco buildings that harmonise with nature, and our project for the Hampshire Wildlife Trust was no exception. When tasked with designing and building a prefabricated garden room to serve as their shop and educational hub, we knew this would be a special opportunity to make a positive environmental impact.
This bespoke garden building not only supports the Trust’s vital work but also stands as a shining example of sustainable construction.
Sustainability at the Core- Hampshire Wildlife Trust
From the outset, sustainability was the guiding principle for this project. The Hampshire Wildlife Trust, known for its commitment to protecting wildlife and ecosystems, needed a building that aligned with its values.
We opted for a prefabricated garden room made from sustainably sourced timber. Using renewable materials significantly reduced the carbon footprint of the build while ensuring the structure blended beautifully with its natural surroundings.
Key sustainable features included:
Energy Efficiency: Insulation and natural ventilation ensure year-round comfort with minimal energy use.
Local Sourcing: Using local timber and materials minimised transportation emissions.
Minimal Disruption: The modular nature of the build reduced on-site construction time and impact on the surrounding habitat.
A Multi-Functional Garden Room
The garden room was designed as a versatile space, serving both as a shop and an educational hub for visitors. Its light-filled interior, thanks to strategically placed windows, creates an inviting atmosphere for customers and allows the Trust to showcase their conservation work effectively.
The modular design made the building adaptable for various uses, whether for retail, workshops, or community events. This flexibility ensures the Hampshire Wildlife Trust can make the most of their investment for years to come.
Blending with Nature- Hampshire Wildlife Trust
One of the highlights of this project was ensuring the garden building complemented the surrounding environment. The timber cladding and circular design echo the shapes and textures of nature, creating a structure that feels organic and unobtrusive.
This approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also promotes biodiversity. Features like a green roof encourage pollinators, while the building’s placement was carefully chosen to minimise disruption to local wildlife.
A Building with Purpose
This project wasn’t just about creating a functional garden room—it was about building something with a deeper purpose. By working with the Hampshire Wildlife Trust, we’ve helped create a space that furthers their mission of conservation and education.
The eco building is more than just a structure; it’s a tool for raising awareness about the importance of protecting our natural world. Every visitor who steps into this space is reminded of the role they can play in supporting sustainability and wildlife conservation.
Conclusion
Our partnership with the Hampshire Wildlife Trust showcases the power of sustainable construction. This prefabricated garden room is a testament to how eco buildings can support both functionality and environmental responsibility.
At Rotunda Eco Build, we believe that every building should work in harmony with its surroundings. Whether it’s a garden office, educational hub, or community space, we’re committed to creating sustainable solutions that leave a positive impact.
