Office Room

Recently, we were contacted by a client who works remotely; they approached us to create a high-quality garden office that would provide a quiet, professional environment, separate from the main household. Frequent virtual client sessions, soundproofing, and a stable internet connection were essential.

The client’s requirements included:

• A fully insulated, soundproofed structure.
• Built-in shelving and storage.
• Ample natural light without glare for video conferencing.
• A minimalist, calming interior finish.
• Connectivity to the home’s Wi-Fi and power supply.

We conducted a site visit and advised on placement to ensure privacy, solar orientation, and minimal disruption to the garden landscape. The design proposed was a modern, cedar-clad structure with a slightly pitched roof and integrated guttering, measuring 4m x 3.5m to comply with permitted development regulations.

The build commenced in early March 2025 and was carried out over five weeks. Our in-house team managed all aspects of the project, from groundwork to internal fit-out, with a focus on clean execution and minimal intrusion into the client's daily life.

Project milestones included:

1. Week 1: Groundworks and installation of a concrete base, with services ducted in advance for water, power, and broadband.
2. Week 2–3: Timber frame assembly, external cladding in sustainably sourced, and roof installation with EPDM rubber for durability.
3. Week 4: Interior work—soundproof plasterboard installation, skimmed and painted finish, energy-efficient lighting.
4. Week 5: Custom shelving installed, office furniture placed, and final electrical works completed, including CAT6 data cabling and under-desk power points.

Throughout the process, we maintained open communication with the client, coordinating closely on decisions around finishes and technical details like lighting placement and socket locations.

The result is a sleek, modern garden office that has exceeded the client’s expectations. The cedar cladding has already begun to weather beautifully, creating a natural, timeless appearance. Inside, the space is tranquil, professional, and equipped for long hours of work without interruption.

Key benefits noted by the client:

• Improved work-life balance due to physical separation from the home.
• High-quality sound insulation for confidential sessions.
• A workspace that supports both focus and relaxation.

This project is an example of how tailored garden buildings can transform not only how our clients work, but how they live. We’re proud to have delivered a solution that balances aesthetics, functionality, and long-term value.
