A Nordic garden room is more than a greenhouse. It is a year-round garden office, studio, reading room or creative retreat with clean Scandinavian design, insulated double-glazed walls, and the space to live comfortably in any season.
Unlike a traditional greenhouse, which is a working space for plants, a Nordic garden room is a finished living space with light, insulation and a comfortable interior. Many owners use them as home offices, artist studios, yoga rooms, libraries, or quiet places to enjoy their garden in any weather.
Why Choose a Nordic Garden Room?
Year-round comfort. Double-glazed Low-E glass (the same technology used in energy-efficient home windows) keeps the interior warm in winter and cool in summer. You can use a Nordic garden room as a 4-season office or retreat, not just a seasonal greenhouse.
Light and views. Floor-to-ceiling glazing brings natural light and garden views into every corner. The design is clean and minimalist, complementing modern homes.
Built for the outdoors. Nordic garden rooms come with foundation frames, insulated wall panels, and integrated ventilation. They are engineered structures, not add-ons.
Long-term investment. A 10-year manufacturer warranty and durable aluminum and glass construction mean a Nordic garden room is built to last.
Nordic Garden Room Models
The Exaco Nordic range includes three sizes, each with different footprints to fit various yards and uses:

Features That Set Nordic Garden Rooms Apart
Double-glazed Low-E glass: Each pane is Low-E coated, reflecting heat inward in winter and outward in summer. This is the same technology that makes modern home windows energy-efficient.
Thermally broken aluminum frames: Thin plastic strips between the inside and outside of the frame prevent cold from conducting through, so the frame itself does not lose heat or develop condensation like cold metal would.
Integrated ventilation: Operable windows and smart venting keep fresh air moving without losing the temperature control you worked to create.
Insulated wall and roof panels: Some models come with matching insulated panels for walls and roof, creating a fully sealed, climate-controlled envelope.
Foundation frame included: The foundation is engineered and included, so you do not have to guess at leveling or dimensions.
What Can You Use a Nordic Garden Room For?
Home office or workspace: Natural light, garden views and a separate structure mean focus and calm.
Art or craft studio: The even natural light is ideal for painting, photography, writing, or any creative work.
Reading room or library: A quiet retreat surrounded by your garden.
Yoga or meditation space: Light, plants and quiet combine perfectly.
Guest retreat: A comfortable room for visiting friends or family, separate from the main home.
Greenhouse with a seating area: Grow plants on one side and sit with a cup of tea on the other.
Game room or hangout: A climate-controlled entertaining space that extends your home.
Nordic Garden Rooms vs. Greenhouses
A traditional greenhouse is optimized for growing plants: maximum light, ventilation and air movement. A Nordic garden room is optimized for living and working: consistent temperature, human comfort, and views. If you want a 4-season living space that happens to be full of plants, a Nordic garden room is the right choice. If you want to grow food or seedlings year-round, a more specialized greenhouse may better serve your goals, though many gardeners use a Nordic room successfully for both.
Is a Nordic garden room warm enough in winter?
Yes. Double glazing and insulated panels keep the interior significantly warmer than a single-glass greenhouse. Many owners heat with a small baseboard heater or keep a window open for passive solar gain in mild regions.
Will it get too hot in summer?
The Low-E coating on the glass reflects heat, and operable windows and vents prevent overheating. Many owners leave the structure open or lightly shaded on very hot days.
Do I need a permit?
Rules vary by town. Because a Nordic garden room is a finished structure with insulation and utilities, many jurisdictions treat it like a building addition. Check local requirements before ordering.
What is the warranty?
Exaco offers a 10-year manufacturer warranty on the structure and glazing, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
