Beyond The Garden
Redefining outdoor luxury with Olympian Garden Buildings and Bourne Bespoke
As expectations of the home evolve, so too does the garden. Increasingly, homeowners are investing in outdoor spaces that deliver the same level of design, comfort and purpose as their interiors. Outdoor living has grown up. For many, the answer isn’t a costly extension or disruptive renovation, but something simpler, smarter, and more luxurious: the Outdoor Room.
Far from a passing trend, these are beautifully crafted extensions of the home - lifestyle spaces where you can work, unwind, and entertain. Leading the charge is Olympian Garden Buildings, the Cheshire-based company that has been hand-crafting bespoke outdoor buildings for over 40 years from its own factory in Cheshire.
Now, thanks to a new collaboration with luxury home enhancement specialists Bourne Bespoke, Olympian has taken its most premium garden room concept to the next level. At Olympian’s showroom, the transformation is on full display inside a Millboard-clad 8.5m x 4.5m Outdoor Room, where an integrated media wall and a statement bar, both handcrafted by Bourne Bespoke, form a seamless, show-stopping interior that feels more like a luxury penthouse suite than a garden addition.
“We’ve always believed that garden rooms should feel like a natural extension of the home,” says Nick Williams, CEO of Olympian. “But this collaboration takes things further, it’s not just about craftsmanship on the outside. Now, the interiors are finished to the same high specification, with bespoke joinery and design details that elevate the entire space.”
“Many of our clients have a clear vision for how they want to use their space, but without a trusted supplier to bring it to life, achieving a fully functional, high-spec interior can quickly become overwhelming. This collaboration removes that problem. With our build quality and design flexibility, combined with Bourne Bespoke’s approach and endless variety of premium materials, we can turn ideas into reality, resulting in an outdoor solution that surpasses expectations.”
This partnership brings together Olympian’s full-service expertise, from initial site meeting and design consultations to market-leading levels of finish and exceptional build quality – complemented with Bourne Bespoke’s creative flair, premium materials and desire to create truly tailored solutions for their clients.
Inside, the attention to detail is immediately clear. The bar is finished in matte black with brushed gold trim, white marble countertops, and a glowing onyx-effect back panel. The media wall houses a large-format TV and premium electric fireplace, cleverly concealed within sleek, soft-touch leather and marble cabinetry. Every surface, fixture and finish has been selected to blend beauty with function.
“We design and build everything in-house, right here in Cheshire,” Nick adds. “It means we can control the quality at every stage, and now, with Bourne Bespoke, we’re also delivering interiors to match.”
For Mike Steel, Founder of Bourne Bespoke, the partnership felt like a natural fit. “There’s a real design synergy between us,” he explains. “Both brands are obsessive about craftsmanship and precision, and we both work with clients who expect something exceptional. Our role is to bring a refined interior sensibility to these outdoor spaces, whether that’s a bar, a media wall, home office or fully tailored cabinetry.”
That design ethos is clear throughout. The space flows effortlessly between comfort and wow-factor. Unlike many modular buildings or home extensions, everything from Olympian and Bourne Bespoke is made-to-measure, designed around how the client wants to live.
“It’s not just about aesthetics,” says Mike. “It’s about how the space performs, how it feels to be in it.”
For homeowners looking for more usable space, an Outdoor Room offers a luxurious, future-proofed alternative to traditional home renovations. Clients are using them as creative studios, gyms, wellness retreats, teenage dens, home offices, or simply as elevated lounges for year-round living. The key is flexibility.
A room like this evolves with you,” Nick says. “It might begin as an entertaining space, but over time become your morning coffee spot. It’s designed to move with your lifestyle.”
And with this new partnership, clients now benefit from a complete turnkey service where every detail, inside and out, is considered. From design and build to cabinetry, finishes and lighting, everything is handled between Olympian and Bourne Bespoke. That means no juggling trades, no drawn-out schedules, and no compromises on finish.
Both brands also share a deep understanding of the local landscape and lifestyle, a value that plays strongly into their joint vision. “Our clients live busy, ambitious lives,” says Nick. “What they want is a space that gives something back, a retreat that’s close to home, but a world away in feel. The Outdoor Room delivers exactly that.
“We respond to a niche in the market for truly endless possibilities, uncovering the perfect balance of form and function in the process. We are very excited to apply our wealth of experience creating beautiful indoor spaces to this new combined offering – unleashing the full potential of every new garden room by Olympian” says Mike. “The interior should never be an afterthought; it is equally as important as the exterior appeal. A collaboration on the two remits right from the start, therefore, ensures all desires are achieved beyond expectation in the most convenient way possible for our clients.”
