What is a Garden Office?

The garden office is an outdoor structure that ranges in size to meet residential homeowners’ different requirements. It is an additional living space that doubles as a modern garden office. These detached garden office buildings come with everything needed to create a dedicated workspace and adds a wide range of garden aesthetics to your house and its landscaping.

Garden buildings are specific product categories designed with built-in wiring to accommodate computers and electronic devices. The TGO3 TGO4 office building by Garden & Rooms is fully insulated for year-round comfort and includes a roof overhang, clad siding, panoramic bi-folding glass doors, and double glazed windows. Double glazing adds thermal properties to an office garden.

Interest in garden offices is currently a hot topic in the United Kingdom. There’s a good reason for that trend. With more UK residents working from home, maintaining a healthy balance between work and everyday life becomes paramount. Recent European case studies have also revealed that Garden offices provide the perfect solution for home-based businesses.

Construction Benefits of a Garden Office Building

The primary benefit of building a garden office is that it gives you plenty of extra room without paying for a home addition. If having a private space to work hasn't already inspired you to get in touch with Garden & Rooms, these additional benefits might do the trick.

No Commuting

More companies than ever are opting to allow their employees to work from home. However, not everyone enjoys working from his or her kitchen countertop or living room. This lack of space has led many people to rent offices away from their homes, requiring a longer commute. Garden offices can be placed right in your backyard, cutting your commuting time to zero.

Professional Design

Video chatting with clients or coworkers generally requires a professional-looking backdrop. Garden offices are designed with working from home aesthetics in mind. The average garden office interior provides a level of style that rivals their convenience in terms of practical benefits.

Easier to Focus

Modern households are loud, busy places. Whether you live in a multi-generational home or have multiple children, noise can get in the way of getting your job done efficiently. Garden offices are fully insulated buildings, which means they keep the noise out as well as the cold. Garden & Rooms trademark soundproofing walls make it easier for you to focus on your work.

Better Work-Life Balance

Working inside your home can be challenging to separate your professional life from your family life. Having a garden office makes it easier to maintain a healthier work-life balance. You can focus on your work during business hours, then spend time with your family by simply walking across the yard whenever the need arises. Garden offices from a family’s standpoint make sense.

Return on Investment

It’s usually less expensive to build high-quality garden structures than standard home additions. These small buildings are also affordable to heat, light, and maintain year-round. In most cases, you won’t even need planning permission to build a garden room. Such cost savings can add up to a robust return on investment, especially when considering the garden office’s increased property values.

Design Considerations for Garden Offices

You have plenty of options when it comes to garden office design. These small buildings can be thoroughly modern or elegant and classical in appearance. You can have them placed almost anywhere on your property with enough flat space. Plus, you can have your garden building design customised to meet your specific needs.

The best way to choose a garden office design is to work with Garden & Rooms. You can view the premanufactured garden offices at our showroom or enlist our design team’s help to customise your garden building. Each model is fully insulated and features an open floor plan that will perfectly accommodate your unique lifestyle.

When it comes to garden office design, the most important thing is to use high-quality building materials. You want your garden room to last, but you also want it to be energy-efficient enough for affordable year-round use.

All the buildings manufactured by Garden & Rooms are designed and constructed to provide a perfect balance of durability and cost-efficiency. When you work with us, you won’t have to worry about shoddy workmanship, poor design, or sub-par building materials. As industry leaders, we pride ourselves on offering the best garden offices in the United Kingdom.

Other Uses for Garden Offices

If you’re planning to retire soon or already know that you’ll have to go back to work eventually? Don’t worry. A garden office is still a sound investment. If you decide you don’t want to work from home, you can convert your garden room into another equally valuable space.

Common uses for converted garden offices include:

Converting the building into a garden studio
Creating a detached entertainment room
Offering private space to houseguests
Turning the old garden office into a hobby room
Giving growing children extra space and privacy
Establishing a workshop

The potential uses for an unused garden room are almost endless. Artists love having a private garden studio. Hobbyists enjoy having a quiet space to work on their passion projects. Even home gardeners can benefit from turning a well-lit but underused garden office into extra space for plant propagation.

Do Garden Offices Require Planning Permission?

In most cases, there’s no need to worry about planning permission. The UK recently amended building regulations to accommodate small detached structures. As long as your garden office is not intended as a year-round residence, there’s no need to deal with any government bureaucracy.

There are some exceptions. If your local municipality has stricter building regulations, you may need planning permission. At Garden & Rooms we construct all our buildings up to UK regulatory standards. We can also help you navigate the complex bureaucracy behind obtaining permissions.

The Range of Garden Buildings

Just like traditional structures such as log cabins, garden offices come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. This design range helps to accommodate the myriad uses that customers require for their garden offices. The garden office does require consideration of the homeowners’ intended use. For example, what works for garden office buildings won’t necessarily be a good fit for a home gym.

The best way to ensure that the home office suits its purpose is to request a consultation with our design team. Before getting in touch, customers should consider the following factors:

Design Size

Garden rooms are smaller than the average log cabin. Most homeowners find that a small size building is enough to accommodate their need for the extra room without requiring planning permissions. While a log cabin is subject to planning permissions, our contemporary garden sheds are not, providing that the height of the structure doesn’t exceed 2 3 to 2.5 metres.

Doors and Windows

Adding extra windows, bi-fold doors, or other quality products is a great way to cut back on energy costs while providing more comfort for cost-saving garden studios. A perfect garden structure should come with windows available in different sizes. Here at Garden & Rooms, our high-quality house windows feature double glazing to conserve heat and can be customised to meet your exact needs.

The extra light can be conducive for artists and artisans. There’s no need to build a full-scale log cabin to have extra space to work. The perfect garden structure can help an artist make a name for themselves. A quality garden building provides a retreat for residents who want to work in peace.

Electrical Wiring

All electrical wiring is completed upon installation of the garden building. Regardless of the sizes, an electrician will be present to install the wiring. Again, it’s important to keep intended use in mind. It takes more electricity to run air conditioning units or advanced electronics than lights and fans.

Homeowners can trust our customer service representatives to help them determine their electrical needs before installation. The modern garden structures at Garden & Rooms are wired by licenced tradies and covered by a 10-year guarantee.

Aesthetic Options

Not all customisations are performed with the intent of maximising a building’s usefulness. Customers also want garden rooms that match the aesthetics of their properties. Garden & Rooms provides different sizes and a range of different styles of garden retreats. Regardless of what size and style homeowners choose, the quality will always be the same with all of our products.

Standard colors for the external walls and trim range from natural wood to charcoal gray. Homeowners who have more specific stylistic requirements can also consult a company representative or plan to make alterations themselves. The exterior building products can be painted to match any home’s style, from log cabins to thoroughly contemporary houses. It’s all just a matter of personal preference.

Can the Rooms Be Self-Assembled?

Absolutely. However, those using the self-assembly method can still expect timely delivery. Just keep in mind that amateur installations may void the 10-year guarantee that applies to all building sizes and warranties. Homeowners living within close range can have garden rooms of all sizes constructed by our skilled tradies.

Who Uses Garden Offices?

There’s no one demographic that can benefit from garden offices more than others. Work-from-home parents, successful business professionals, writers, artists, and many others working in non-traditional fields love these quality office space structures that don’t require planning permission.

Some people who use garden offices work in them every day. Others retreat to them only when they need the extra peace and quiet. The good news is, a well-designed garden building will work for you even when you’re not working.

With the right design, the garden office will perfectly complement your landscape and increase your property value. A garden office will add a touch of style to any landscape design. The impressive versatility and ease of customisation associated with a contemporary garden building mean the possibilities are endless.

Why Hire a Professional Garden Office Company?

Take a look; there’s more to garden office design than meets the eye or size alone. If you want your garden office to convey style and elegance, it’s always a good idea to hire a professional design team. Although most tradies can build small garden sheds with no problem, constructing a garden studio is different. It typically requires specialised skills and knowledge to ensure the 10-year warranty.

Working with Garden & Rooms comes with many financial benefits as well. You can name and have your own fully-fitted garden office at an affordable price with our flexible financing options.
