Space to grow into

A building, not just a room
Our four standard sizes cover most needs — but not every garden is standard. Odd-shaped site, specific layout, or something we haven't thought of yet? We'll engineer a steel-frame solution around your exact brief — same factory precision, same Dublin build quality.
At Modular House, we manufacture our own light gauge steel frames in Dublin, giving every garden room tighter quality control, faster lead times, and a structure built for Irish weather from day one.
If you are looking for a garden room in Dublin or anywhere in Ireland, our system delivers the precision of factory-built construction with the warmth, finish, and everyday comfort of a fully insulated modern living space.
We manufacture every light gauge steel frame in-house in Dublin, so your garden room benefits from tighter quality control, accurate fabrication, and dependable lead times from design through installation.
Because the structure is pre-engineered before it reaches site, our garden rooms go up faster with less mess, less noise, and less disruption to your home than a traditional build.
High-performance insulation, thermally efficient detailing, and quality glazing help create garden rooms in Ireland that stay warm in winter, comfortable in summer, and efficient to run all year round.
Our steel-framed garden rooms are engineered as permanent-feeling spaces for work, guests, fitness, or daily living, with none of the rot, warp, or maintenance concerns associated with timber-heavy alternatives.
We believe in transparency. Here’s how the three most popular construction methods compare across the metrics that matter most.
Our LGS frames are precision-manufactured right here in Dublin, delivering factory-level quality with none of the on-site guesswork.

Under current Irish planning legislation, garden rooms up to 25 square metres are generally exempt from planning permission, provided they comply with conditions such as maximum height (4 m for a pitched roof, 3 m for a flat roof), boundary setbacks, and aggregate floor area limits for exempted structures. Our 15 and 25 square metre models fall within these thresholds. The 35 and 45 square metre sizes are subject to pending legislation that may extend the exemption limit. We handle all planning paperwork on your behalf.
From order confirmation to handover, a typical Modular House garden room takes 6 to 8 weeks. This includes 1 to 2 weeks of off-site steel frame fabrication, 1 week of foundation preparation, and 4 to 5 weeks of on-site assembly, insulation, and interior finishing. Actual timelines may vary based on site conditions and chosen specification.
We currently offer four standard sizes: 15 square metres (Compact Studio), 25 square metres (Garden Suite), 35 square metres (Garden Living), and 45 square metres (Grand Studio). Each model can be customised with different layouts, window configurations, and interior finishes to suit your specific needs.
Every garden room features high-performance PIR insulation panels in the walls, floor, and roof, achieving an A-rated BER (Building Energy Rating). Triple-glazed, thermally broken windows and doors minimise heat loss. Heating options include electric underfloor heating, wall-mounted panel heaters, or connection to your home heating system via an insulated supply pipe.
Yes. Our steel-frame construction combined with A-rated insulation, triple glazing, and integrated heating maintains a comfortable working temperature throughout all four seasons. The structures are designed to the same thermal performance standards as a permanent dwelling, ensuring year-round comfort whether used as a home office, studio, or living space.
The quoted price includes the precision-cut steel frame, full PIR insulation, external cladding, internal plasterboard lining, laminate or tile flooring, electrical wiring with LED lighting and sockets, triple-glazed windows and doors, and a 25-year structural warranty. Foundation works, plumbing, and bespoke upgrades (such as underfloor heating or additional power circuits) are quoted separately based on site requirements.
