Unlocking the Potential of garden annexes to meet the UK’s evolving housing needs.

As the UK grapples with a housing shortage, rising living costs, and an aging population, the demand for flexible, multi-generational living solutions is surging. Garden annexes—self-contained living spaces built within residential gardens—are emerging as a popular and practical response to these pressures.

Driven by trends such as:

• Remote working and the need for home offices
• Elderly care at home to reduce pressure on social care systems
• Young adults staying longer with family due to housing affordability

With over 43 million UK residents having access to private gardens, and the gardening market projected to exceed £5 billion by 2025, the infrastructure and appetite for garden-based development are already in place.

However, traditional annex construction is often slow, costly, and disruptive—barriers that limit the sector’s ability to scale.
The VASO By Eco innovation offers a breakthrough:

• Rapid deployment - Prefabricated, modular units can be installed in days, not months
• Thermal efficiency - Built with sustainable materials and high-performance insulation to reduce energy costs
