Meet Ben Skinner-Watts, Founder of NG2 Garden Studio Co.

Ben Skinner-Watts founded NG2 Garden Studio Co. with a simple belief: thoughtfully designed spaces can genuinely improve the way people live. His passion for design, craftsmanship and architecture is at the heart of every project, helping homeowners transform their gardens into functional, inspiring spaces.

Ben's journey began in his family's workshop, where he learned the craft of fine cabinet-making while working alongside his parents. Their work included creating and restoring bespoke cabinetry for prestigious institutions such as the Bank of England and the Tower of London, instilling in him a deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail and timeless design.

Following a degree in architecture, Ben combined traditional craftsmanship with architectural thinking to create spaces that are both practical and beautifully considered. Today, he specialises in designing bespoke garden rooms, garden offices and outdoor living spaces that complement both modern lifestyles and existing homes.

What started as an individual passion has grown into NG2 Garden Studio Co., a dedicated company that designs and builds everything from contemporary garden rooms to complete landscape transformations throughout Nottingham and the surrounding areas. Every project is guided by thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship and a commitment to creating spaces that are built to last.

For Ben, every garden presents an opportunity to enhance the way people live. Whether creating a peaceful home office, a versatile family space or a beautifully integrated garden retreat, his goal is always the same: to design and build spaces that combine beauty, functionality and lasting quality.
