Working from home looks as if it is going to become the new normal for many of us. There are lots of benefits to home working, but there are downsides. It can be easy to be distracted by household tasks and other household members.
Some people will miss the routine of going out of the house to work, and if you are not careful, you can end up working too much because you don't have the definition between work and home life.
There is a solution a garden office, studio or workshop. Whatever you choose to call it, work from home buildings are highly insulated structures built using the same materials and techniques as a timber-framed house.
They are designed for comfortable year-round use. Are electrically wired as standard, with options to include internet connections and audiovisual equipment, if that is what you need. You can connect with anywhere in the world from the bottom of the garden!
