2.4m x 1.8m (8ft x 6ft) Garden Office

2.4m x 1.8m (8ft x 6ft) Garden Office

First Published: 24 August 2022
Refreshed: 2 December 2024
Reading Time: 2 minutes

If your garden is small or you want to save space in a larger one, compact garden offices are an excellent option. Designs like the QuadPod Micro by Sanctum Garden Studios demonstrate that even an office no bigger than a standard 8ft x 6ft shed can be functional and stylish. But how practical are they?

To help you decide, we've created a detailed mockup of the QuadPod Micro, which comes in two configurations: Office and Studio. These designs vary in their window layouts, allowing you to customise the space to suit your needs.

Compact but Functional: QuadPod Office

The first mockup features the QuadPod Office layout, which includes an opening window ideal for placing a long, bench-style desk beneath. The model and furnishings are scaled to show how much usable desk space you can achieve while still leaving room to move comfortably within the office.

This configuration is perfect for a productive workspace while ensuring you can take advantage of natural light and ventilation through the window.

Maximising Garden Views: QuadPod Studio

If you're seeking a stronger connection with your garden, the QuadPod Studio might be the right choice. This style features a wide, floor-to-ceiling window offset to one side of the front wall.

In this layout, you can still incorporate a bench-style desk, though it may partially cover the window. Alternatively, you could place the desk along the side wall to fully enjoy the expansive garden view.

Our second mockup illustrates this concept, featuring a free-standing desk positioned to lap slightly over the window. This layout also accommodates a storage unit while maintaining a spacious feel.

The QuadPod range includes larger sizes if you need more space. We’ve written extensively about the features of the QuadPod range, offering insights into its design, materials, and versatility. Each model can be installed in just one day, ensuring minimal disruption to your garden.
