Canary Wharf homeowners use garden annexes to create flexible space for guests, older relatives or a private home office that doubles as a studio. Around E14, outdoor areas can be compact, so every metre matters in the layout and storage. We regularly work near One Canada Square and Jubilee Park, where access and neighbours require careful planning. Your annexe is delivered as a fully serviced, insulated room with a proper residential feel.
Property in this part of Tower Hamlets is often modern—waterfront developments, penthouses and high-rise apartments—yet many homes still have terraces with courtyards or larger gardens in Poplar and Limehouse. We design to suit contemporary architecture: clean lines, large glazing and discreet services routing. For tighter plots on the Isle of Dogs, we prioritise smart footprints, acoustic comfort and year-round thermal performance. The result is a space that complements modern living rather than competing with it.

We keep disruption low with considerate working hours, tidy access routes and neighbour-aware logistics. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable communication, premium finishes and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

Costs vary with size, specification and how “self-contained” you need it. As a guide, a compact insulated annexe with electrics typically starts from £35,000–£55,000. Adding a kitchenette and full bathroom with plumbing commonly brings projects to £55,000–£95,000+. Premium glazing, bespoke joinery, higher-end finishes and complex access in E14 can increase budgets. We provide an itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most garden annexes take around 6–12 weeks on site once the design and specification are agreed. Smaller, simpler builds can be quicker, while self-contained annexes with a bathroom, kitchenette and more complex plumbing may take longer. Timescales are affected by access constraints, groundworks, utility runs, bespoke glazing and lead times for fixtures. We confirm a realistic programme before work begins and keep you updated throughout.
Some garden buildings can fall under permitted development, but a self-contained annexe used as separate accommodation may trigger planning requirements. Restrictions can also apply in managed estates, flats with shared land, or where height, proximity to boundaries and overlooking are concerns. We review your site, intended use and constraints, then advise on the best route. Our team can prepare drawings and support an application to Tower Hamlets where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and key build elements, giving you confidence in the structure and finish. This includes issues arising from installation defects in the building fabric, internal fit-out and weatherproofing, subject to normal use and maintenance.
