The brief: The goal was to create a comfortable garden office that supported the client’s work habits and made the most of its woodland setting. As we learned more about how he used his workspace, we shaped the layout accordingly and designed bespoke shelving and a one-off desk to provide exactly what he needed close at hand.

Interior: At 9m by 5m, the office is spacious and highly insulated, with underfloor heating, full electrics, two independent internet connections and a plastered finish. Custom furniture shapes the room: we designed and crafted the wall-to-wall shelving to keep everything organised, along with the bespoke desk positioned to capture the pond views. Underfloor sockets and automated, voice-controlled electrics maintain a clean and efficient workspace.

Exterior: As the wooded approach becomes muddy in autumn and winter, we designed and built a 29-metre pathway that meets the decking at the same level, with no steps. A retractable section doubles as a bridge and allows a ride-on mower to access the woodland. The office is finished in cedar cladding and set on a raised deck with a covered outdoor area for year-round enjoyment. Exterior wallpaper accents the covered space, adding even more personality to this unique building.

The result: A luxurious, serene garden office that blends comfort, craftsmanship and nature. The combination of generous glazing, warm materials and smart storage creates a workspace that is both striking and practical – a beautiful retreat perfectly suited to working, thinking and unwinding.
