Garden Office Design
Converting an existing drab structure into a garden office is akin to starting from scratch. It is a project that demands expert advice and assistance plus your own involvement and imagination to create it how you imagined. Following things need to be kept in mind during space planning for a garden office:
• The structure should be properly and effectively insulated from the elements
• It should have uninterrupted power, proper telecommunications if that is one of your requirements, heating (underfloor or a convection heater, preferably with a thermostat), and you may wish to connect it to water as well. This is a perfect opportunity to attempt eco-building materials, particularly insulation, and various alternative energy sources such as solar panels.
• Think about whether you require a path from the house to the office - or perhaps a decked area outside it
• Make sure that you include plenty of windows in the space planning and design, since daylight will enhance and brighten your office.
• Consider the type of office furniture you would like to have in your garden office
Many people love the idea of having their own office in their garden and it is a fabulous luxury. If the idea of working in nature appeals and attracts you, you should definitely consider installing folding or sliding doors, which can open up completely in summer.
