Garden Capsules Ireland

A garden capsule is the design-led alternative to a standard garden room — a distinctive, compact, fully insulated building that adds genuine architectural value to your garden. Use it as a home office, studio, gym, guest room or retreat. Many garden capsules fall within the 45 m² planning exemption, meaning no full planning application.

• Distinctive design-led garden building
• Fully insulated for year-round use
• Often within the 45 m² planning exemption
• Installed in a single day
• Adds architectural value to your property

A small ancillary garden capsule up to 45 m² may fall within the planning exemption. A capsule used as independent living accommodation generally requires planning. See our 45 m² exemption guide.

See our Planning Guide and 45 m² exemption guide, and we will advise on your local authority during your site survey.

For this use case we typically recommend our Garden Room — see the Garden Room campaign page.

A permanent capsule dwelling is a permanent home. See our finance options, Finance Calculator and pricing guide.
