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.
DUBLIN-MADE GARDEN ROOMS
Built in Dublin. Designed for life in Ireland.
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.
Made in Our Dublin Factory
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.
Faster, Cleaner 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.
Built for Irish Weather
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.
A Long-Term Space
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.

FAQ
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.
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 (The Compact), 25 square metres (The Studio), 35 square metres (The Living), and 45 square metres (The Grand). Each model can be customised with different layouts and exterior/interior finishes to suit your specific needs. If you have a bespoke size or specification in mind, simply get in touch through our contact form and our design team will tailor a solution to match your vision.
Every garden room is insulated with a 90mm rock wool and 100mm EPS system. Double-glazed UPVC windows and doors are fitted as standard, with a triple glazing upgrade available for enhanced thermal and acoustic performance. A full consumer-unit-ready electrical package is included supporting electric panel heaters, the space will be warm and comfortable to use year-round.
Yes. Our steel-frame construction combined with near 200mm of insulation, double-glazed UPVC windows and doors (with a triple-glazing upgrade available), and a full consumer-unit-ready electrical package maintains a comfortable 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 for all four models includes the EN1090 steel frame, approximately 200mm of insulation, composite external cladding, laminated flooring, internal electrical wiring with lighting and sockets, double-glazed UPVC windows and doors, foundation works, and a 50-year structural warranty. A triple-glazing upgrade is available as an optional add-on. For The Living (35 m²), The Grand (45 m²), and The Studio en-suite and bedroom layouts, a fully plumbed kitchen and bathroom are also included as standard — appliances are not included. Full pricing details and optional extras can be customised through our online product configurator.
