Ark Design Build
Based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and covering Essex, Surrey and the South East, we design and build the highest quality garden offices, garden rooms and garden studios available on the market. Limited by nothing but our own imaginations, we work to create truly unique and bespoke spaces. We believe in a system where each garden room is made to suit the person or people that will use it, not just another off the shelf purchase.

When you invest in Ark you invest in our versatile, Eco friendly approach to a design and build with you at the centre. Our projects can be as simple as a micro garden office pod, all the way up to a full turn key commercial solution for a school, business or community to enjoy. An Ark garden studio can be any size, style or finish.

Both modern and traditional, we create spaces that transform how you use your outside space. No flat packs or kits. Our turn key solutions have been used as anything from School classrooms to community centers, shops, cafes and public toilets, including Planning and building regs.
Services
ARK was founded by two lifelong friends. With a combined 20 plus years experience in design and builds. We are a small bespoke garden room Company based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent offering a bespoke service to each and every client. Our projects are always built on site from the ground up using the best materials available.
The work from home revolution is here. Our clients save thousands on travel costs as well as losing precious time on a commute. If you can work from home, then a fully connected Garden office from Ark is perfect for you. Any of our Garden offices, will be fully connected with electricity, heating and internet as standard.
Not all Garden studios are created equal. At Ark we specialise in the off-piste of design and build. We can create a space from something you have seen and loved, or we can design something totally unique to you and your space. Our studios are often as tall as 4 meters if a traditional style is preferred.
Building a fully connected habitable garden annex is now increasingly popular. We will handle the entire process from initial consultation, to planning permission and building control where required. All spaces can be finished to your exact tastes and requirements. With fully fitted kitchen and bathroom options available.
Our portfolio includes school classrooms, public spaces and even community centres for charities. Each build is made with the end users in mind and our specification and final finish can be customised to that end. We strive to create inspiring buildings that can be used to educate or stimulate the people that will use them daily.

We found ark design three months before moving into our new house and were so impressed with their work we secured a build date before even moving in. Tim, James and their team have been fantastic and have been a pleasure to have around each day. Will actually miss having them here! The level of professionalism and attention to detail is second to none and Tim has been amazing at adapting as the build has progressed and in suggesting creative options at every stage of the build to ensure the final studio meets our needs. The final studio has exceeded our hopes and expectations and we genuinely

I am very pleased with my new garden room. Tim and his team (Johnny and Josh) were brilliant! Tim is very communicative and a problem solver. I agree with all the 5 star reviews. Book them asap without hesitation because the waiting list is very long!

I had my garden office built to get out of the house through lockdown - it was finished a couple of months ago and I couldn't be happier. It's all that I was looking for and Piers and the team were excellent throughout the whole process - highly recommended

Ark Design are incredible to work with and we could not be happier with our bespoke garden office build. Absolutely in love with our new space. At the beginning I sent them some pictures of things I liked and the style we wanted, never thinking I would be able to get something so on point but I really have. It’s beautiful. The attention to detail, high spec materials and bespoke design features such as the hidden lock and door on our storage area have all been exceptional. Would highly recommend to all.

Ark created a wonderful bespoke garden room for The Richmond Charities for our elderly residents to use for social activities. Tim and the team were so professional and easy to deal with, and went the extra mile to make sure the room was exactly as we wanted it. I can highly recommend Ark.

Five star service, five star build quality. Tim, Piers and the team at Ark Design were a pleasure to work with, they designed a unique office pod for our small garden and worked to our budget. The team are very professional, hard working and clearly passionate about what they do - which shows when you see the beautiful finished product. Everyone who visits comments on how amazing the pod is. I cannot recommend Ark Design Build enough - thank you.

Tim and Piers at Ark Design & Build were a joy to work with. They are both knowledgeable and skilled craftsman, with high standards and attention to detail. Everything ran to schedule and nothing was too much trouble, always offering solutions and ideas. They have been by far the best build experience we’ve had. The finished build is excellent, thoroughly recommended!

Tim and Piers have absolutely transformed the bottom of our garden with our amazing studio! We set a brief expecting that we inevitably would have to compromise in some way - and in fact we got more! And exactly what we wanted with all our needs anticipated- even down to an outside power source!
Brilliant and the best thing was how polite and considerate they both were!
We will definitely be using them again in the spring!
Tim/Piers even our builders are really impressed with the workmanship!

We cannot recommend Tim & Piers of Ark Design Build enough. If you want quality, excellent communication and a bespoke and high-end design garden room to suit your needs then look no further. We felt comfortable with them in our home, they were a pleasure to have around and, it’s fair to say, that the result is stunning and we now have a beautiful room. In fact, we were so impressed, that we want them back to do other work for us (rubber flooring and decking). Prior to going ahead with the Ark build, we received quotes from competitors and went to look at some builds in the local area (Canterbury
