Shomera 18
Contemporary Range · 3.6m x 4.8m · From €41,450
Shomera 18 measures approximately 3.6m x 4.8m - almost the perfect size for a single room. With two recessed areas it is ideal for multiple uses, such as an office on one side and a couch for gaming on the other.
Made for two uses at once
Almost the perfect single-room size, with two recessed areas that naturally divide the space. Shomera 18 is the model for households that need the building to do more than one thing.
Office by day, lounge by night
A desk on one side and a couch for gaming or films on the other, each in its own recess, so the working day and the evening do not have to share a corner.
Gym with a covered rest area
Train inside and cool down under the overhang. The sheltered recess gives you outdoor space that works in every season.
Studio and sitting-out space
A creative studio, music room or hobby space with a sheltered spot outside the door for a break, whatever the weather.

Product Specs
In-situ poured concrete pads with galvanised steel beams - structural support and a damp-proof medium in one detail.
A certified, kiln-dried timber frame built up in ten layers.
A fibreglass roof - the same material we use on Shomera house extensions.
Double-glazed uPVC windows and doors with 90mm frames to passive house standard - argon-filled units, with tempered glass where required.
Rigid EPS insulation to ceilings and floors. Walls combine a non-slumping quilt with a continuous rigid layer on the inside skin, protected by visqueen and cloth tape, and fitted in factory-controlled conditions - so the studio heats quickly and holds its temperature once warm.
Cladding detailed for Irish conditions, fixed with concealed stainless fixings, with a maintenance-free detail where a unit sits against a boundary.
Customisation Options
Composite cladding, available in a rich brown teak and a grey finish. Low maintenance by design.
Each model is available in a left or right orientation, to suit where it sits in your garden.
High-quality laminate flooring with commercial-grade wear resistance and an oak grain, in grey, light oak or dark oak.
Three finishes for the recessed area: signal black (RAL 9004), stone grey (RAL 7030) and a natural stained larch effect.
