Garden Room Guide 2025: RIGA vs. MAMBO vs. BIRKETT — Home Office, Outdoor Kitchen, or Elegant Lounge?
Demand for functional garden spaces in Europe is higher than ever: a garden home office, a tidy outdoor kitchen, or an elegant lounge area with weather protection. In this comparison, we look at three EU favorites — the insulated garden house RIGA (302 × 386 cm), the slim garden house MAMBO (94 × 220 cm) for outdoor‑kitchen storage, and the generous BIRKETT pavilion (488 × 366 cm) with double sliding doors.
1) RIGA — Year‑Round Garden Office with Full Insulation
RIGA is designed to feel like a small room: double doors, double‑glazed windows with integrated insect screens and blinds, paintable interior panels, and a continuously reinforced build with an air barrier for efficient heating. The insulation covers walls, doors, windows, roof, and floor — helping against moisture and rust while stabilizing the indoor climate.
✅ Advantages:
· Full insulation & double‑glazed windows — comfortable in the shoulder seasons
· Two windows + double door — light, fresh air, and easy furniture move‑in
· Paintable interior panels — quickly personalize the workspace or hobby room
❗ To note:
- Plan for a solid substructure and foundation
- Provide power/network early for the office setup

2) MAMBO — Slim Organization Pro for the Outdoor Kitchen
MAMBO keeps cookware and tableware protected from the weather in a compact 94 × 220 cm footprint. Inside, a shelf and towel holder keep things orderly; three mesh windows provide cross‑ventilation against moisture and odors. A top‑hinged front door and two sliding doors give quick access even on narrow terraces. Thanks to powder‑coated steel, maintenance is minimal; matching modules such as a worktop, kitchen shelf, and sink enable modular expansion.
✅ Advantages:
· Slim footprint — fits next to a pergola or carport
· Ventilated storage solution — order without musty smells
· Modular upgrades — worktop/shelf/sink
❗ To note:
- Two people recommended for assembly
- Operate only on a stable, non‑combustible surface

3) BIRKETT — Elegant Garden Room with Double Sliding Doors
BIRKETT (4.88 × 3.66 m) combines aluminum/steel with comfort: two sets of double sliding doors with magnetic closure keep insects and wind at bay, and an integrated ceiling hook positions lighting or a heater. With wind resistance up to 50 km/h and 80 kg/m² snow load, the structure offers reserves for harsher EU locations. The door opening is approx. 158 cm, the passage height approx. 210 cm — bright, sheltered, and versatile.
✅ Advantages:
· Two sets of double sliding doors — protection & flexibility
· Stable in wind/snow — 50 km/h & 80 kg/m²
· Bright space with central ceiling hook for lighting/heater
❗ To note:
- Plan door tracks and free‑movement zones in the layout
- A stable, non‑combustible base is also required.

Our Recommendation
- Year‑round work? → Sunroom Office RIGA
- Tidy storage for grill nights? → Outdoor Kitchen MAMBO
- A bright meeting spot with doors without the classic “garden house” feel? → Gardenhouse BIRKETT
In every case, choose a firm, non‑combustible surface, check local setbacks/permits, and plan cable/water runs in advance.
