Fully Installed Palmako Cecilia L2 Modern Garden Studio | Annexe | Commercial Office | Guest House | 27.3m² | 70mm | 7.9x4.4m

Fully Installed Palmako Cecilia L2 Modern Garden Studio | Annexe | Commercial Office | Guest House — Professionally Installed Across Mainland UK

The Palmako Cecilia L2 is the rectangular counterpart to the square Cecilia L — a wider, longer building at 7.9m x 4.4m with 27.3m² of internal floor space, 70mm solid Nordic spruce walls, aluminium-framed double glazing throughout, and the same premium flat pent roof specification as every other model in the Cecilia range. Where the Cecilia L suits a square garden plot, the Cecilia L2 suits a wider, more open setting — and its greater depth gives the interior a more spacious, studio-like quality that the narrower Cecilia M and XXL cannot match.

Whether you are looking for a premium garden studio, a commercial office with genuine room to breathe, a guest house, or a versatile multi-room building that can serve as both a workspace and a retreat, the Cecilia L2 delivers the full Cecilia specification in a footprint that feels genuinely generous.

The price shown includes the full supply and professional installation of your Palmako Cecilia L2 anywhere on Mainland UK. This means everything: EPDM rubber roofing, foundation preparation and installation, full structural assembly, and timber treatment with Smart Seal applied to all external timber. There are no hidden costs, no separate groundworks quotes, and no surprises. What you see is what you pay.

Looking for a square footprint? Take a look at our Cecilia L (27.2m², 5.6x5.6m) — or contact us to discuss the right model for your requirements.

Wider. Deeper. More Studio Than Cabin.

The Cecilia L2’s 7.9m x 4.4m footprint gives it a depth that the narrower Cecilia models simply cannot replicate. At 4.4m deep, the interior feels like a proper room rather than a corridor — wide enough for a full desk setup on one side and a seating area on the other, or a bedroom and a living space that genuinely feel separate without requiring a partition wall.

The aluminium-framed sliding doors and windows provide the same contemporary aesthetic and thermal performance as every other Cecilia model. The 70mm Nordic spruce walls deliver exceptional thermal mass. The 28mm tongue-and-groove floor boards are substantially thicker than standard cabin flooring. And the flat pent roof is finished with EPDM rubber roofing as part of the installation price — the only appropriate professional-grade finish for a roof of this specification.

Every component is precision-engineered in Estonia from slow-growing Nordic spruce, and our experienced installation team handles the entire process from foundation preparation through to the final fixing, leaving you with a finished building that is ready to use from day one.

Key Features

• 7.9m x 4.4m footprint — 27.3m² of internal floor space with a 4.4m depth that gives the interior a genuine studio quality, wider and more spacious than the narrower Cecilia models
• Aluminium-framed double-glazed sliding doors and windows — 24mm toughened double glazing (4-16-4 specification) with energy glass coating, providing outstanding thermal performance and a contemporary finish
• 70mm solid Nordic spruce log walls — premium wall thickness providing exceptional thermal mass, superior insulation, and outstanding structural robustness
• Flat pent roof with EPDM rubber roofing — included as standard — professional-grade waterproofing on every installation. We will never use standard shed felt on any building we are responsible for.
• Foundation preparation and installation — included — we assess your site and install the most appropriate foundation as part of the price. No separate groundworks quote.
• Composite DPC strip, ground membrane, and anti-insect and rodent mesh — included as standard — we fit a composite damp-proof strip along the base of the foundation beneath all pressure-treated timber, lay a ground membrane beneath the building, and install anti-insect and rodent mesh as standard on every installation. These measures are not optional extras — they are part of how we build, because we want every building we install to last as long as possible.
• 28mm tongue-and-groove floor boards — substantially thicker than standard cabin flooring, on treated foundation joists
• Timber treatment with Smart Seal — included as standard — all external timber sealed as part of the installation, providing up to 10 years of protection. No additional treatment required after handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for the Palmako Cecilia L2?

In most cases, no. The Cecilia L2 at 7.9m x 4.4m will fall within Permitted Development rights for most residential properties in England and Wales, provided it is used as an ancillary garden building and not as a primary dwelling. It must be sited within the curtilage of a dwelling house, not forward of the principal elevation, and must not cover more than 50% of the garden area. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or in a National Park, different rules apply. We always recommend confirming with your local planning authority before ordering. We can provide a site plan and specification document to support any planning enquiry.

Does the price include everything — foundations, building, roofing, and timber treatment?

Yes, completely. The price shown includes foundation preparation and installation, full structural assembly, EPDM rubber roofing, and Smart Seal timber treatment applied to all external timber. There are no hidden costs and no separate groundworks quotes. What you see is what you pay.

What type of foundation does the Cecilia L2 need?

We assess each site individually and install the most appropriate foundation as part of the price. For most residential gardens, this will be ground screws or composite pads. Where ground conditions require it, we can install a concrete slab or concrete pad foundation. We will advise you on the best option during the pre-installation survey.

What extra protection do you install at foundation level?

On every installation, we fit a composite damp-proof strip along the base of the foundation beneath all pressure-treated timber, providing an additional barrier against ground moisture. We lay a ground membrane beneath the entire building to manage moisture and suppress weed growth. And we install anti-insect and rodent mesh to prevent ingress beneath the floor — a detail that most garden building installers simply do not include. We do everything we possibly can to make every structure we install last as long as possible.

How long does installation take?

The Cecilia L2 is typically installed in two to three days, depending on site conditions and foundation type. We will confirm the installation schedule with you in advance and keep you updated throughout the process.

What is EPDM rubber roofing and why is it used on the Cecilia L2?

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane used as a professional-grade waterproofing solution for flat and low-pitch roofs. The Cecilia L2 has a flat pent roof — too shallow for tiles or shingles to perform reliably — and EPDM is the correct and only appropriate finish for a roof of this specification, with a typical lifespan of 50+ years. We will never use standard shed felt on any building we are responsible for.

What is Smart Seal and how long does it last?

Smart Seal is a clear, penetrating timber sealant applied to all external timber as part of the installation. It provides up to 10 years of protection against weathering, moisture ingress, UV damage, and biological growth. After 10 years, a single re-application coat is all that is needed.

Can the Cecilia L2 be used as a permanent annexe or commercial office?

The Cecilia L2 is well suited to both commercial office and annexe use. For permanent residential occupation, planning permission would typically be required, and the building would need to meet Building Regulations for habitable use. We can advise on insulation upgrades and connect you with the appropriate professionals. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Can I add electricity, heating, or plumbing?

Yes. We can accommodate electrical, heating, and plumbing installations as bespoke additions to the standard package. Please contact us before placing your order to discuss your requirements.

How long does delivery take after ordering?

Typically, we aim to have your Cecilia L2 installed within 6 to 12 weeks of order confirmation. Please contact us if you have a specific deadline in mind.

Do you install across the whole of the UK?

We install across Mainland UK. Island locations and certain remote areas of Scotland may be subject to additional logistics costs — please contact us before ordering if you are unsure whether your location is covered.
