My name is Brian O’Connell, and Cedar Spaces began in 2018 when I built my own garden room. With young children at home, it quickly became a space where I could focus on work, fitness, and family life in balance. Experiencing that transformation first-hand inspired me to help others do the same. Today, I combine my background in engineering and financial planning with a passion for design to create bespoke garden rooms that bring everyday life more space, comfort, and style.





Posted on Heather CheethamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were really impressed with Cedar Spaces. Brian and his team worked in quite challenging weather conditions. They were consultative throughout the process. We love our garden room and it has given our children greater independence; they pop out and play pool, have friends over and we know where they are (13 & 15). It is also a fantastic space in which to entertain. It is well insulated and the AC/Heater is fantastic. It has a frost protect so we can keep the garden room at a suitable ambient temperature. As a family, we are so thrilled with our additional room. 20ms away from the house I am so happy our investment is used weekly by my family! We have a 7m x 4m garden room. Pool table, TV, sofa bed, arcade machine, AC/Heater. “Quality, cosy” quote 15 year old! Ongoing SNAG list but Brian is addressing themPosted on Scott PerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super happy with Brian and the team’s work. Garden office and shed is a massive success, exactly as designed. Great comms all through the process while being super helpful and accommodating of our (numerous) requests. Very happy to recommend.Posted on Mark DavidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cedar Spaces and the team were fantastic in very difficult weather conditions.

Good comms, polite and tidy. We’re very happy with the quality of the work and would recommend.Posted on Michael DoyleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In a nutshell, Brian and his team did an amazing job on our garden room which we love and use all the time. The quality of build is excellent and 2-3 years on, we’ve had no issues at all. They were a pleasure to have around, were very accommodating, professional and had a work clean and safe ethic I recall. I have highly recommended them since and will continue to do so. Many thanks again Brian and team.Posted on Jane WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and his team built our garden room with sauna 2 years ago, and it still looks brand new, inside and out. A really well built structure that we’ve really enjoyed using all year round. We would highly recommend Cedar SpacesPosted on Ju FerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are really pleased with our new home office built by Brian and his team and would fully recommend Brian’s services. After our planning permission was granted Brian was able to start within a couple of weeks. We discussed our project in detail. What we liked is, that Brian and his team build to measure maximising the usage of the garden space (unlike other builders who use prefabricated SIPs). His team consist of fully trained professionals, who are in the building undustry for years). Hence the quality of the structure and finish will be to the highest standards. The progress was really quick and every day his team was onsite to ensure there is work being done. Also if Brian says that the electricians will be there on a specific date to do the wiring, they will turn up on that date. We recommend to install underfloor heating for the winter months in addition to the aircon, it warms up quickly and ensures the floor is nice and warm. Finally, we were very pleased with the communication. Brian is very quick to reply to the client’s queries and if any adjustments need to be made during the project, Brian will make sure that they will get done. Again, we fully recommend cedar spaces and the project was delivered on time and on budget! Thanks again to Brian and his team!Posted on Ramin EmamiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service and brilliant quality office. Can’t recommend highly enough!Posted on Euan WeedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely thrilled with our garden room project completed by Brian and the Cedar Spaces team. They were incredibly polite, efficient and helpful in explaining the build and making honest recommendations about our plan based on their experience over the years. Really flexible and easy to communicate with. Thanks again!Posted on Katharine HainesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted with our garden room from Cedar Spaces! The whole process from beginning to end was easy and smooth - it was a pleasure working with Brian and his team. Brian was great at talking through options to ensure the room was just what we wanted and in budget. The build was quick and completed to a really high standard. As a family, we are already loving the extra space - I’m using it for work but it’s also a great room for chilling and spending time with friends. It’s so well insulated and the heater is really efficient that it feels very cosy on cold days. It will be well used throughout the year. Finally, it looks fab!
