Building a Garden Office can offer a working space area if converting an existing room in the house is not available. Working from home is quite popular in London, it’s estimated that one in eight of us works from home, and using the living room or kitchen table is not always comfortable and efficient.A Garden Room could be the right solution.
The cheapest way to achieve an outdoor office is to buy a ready made shed. With wireless phones and internet, it could be feasible, however it has drawbacks.
In a wooden shed it can be too cold or too hot, wireless connections can fail, its not soundproofed and not safe to keep office equipment over night.Using an extension lead to draw power from the main house it’s also dangerous.
The second option is to have a custom built Garden Office. There is no need to apply for Planning Permissions and it can be used during winter too. The walls, roof and floor can be built using the same technique as for a house extension, this means that everything will be insulated and a solid building. Electrical power points and electrical heating will supply the electricity and heating needs. An internet and phone line will installed in parallel with the electrical work. The interior of the Garden Office can be customised, from custom made desks, cupboards, shelving to lighting, windows and colour scheme.
For safety, an independent security alarm can be installed, security lights and a CCTV system.The office furniture can also be built to be used as storage.
