Outdoor office with shower room

A 5m × 5.5m cedar-clad garden office for a video marketing professional, built to host clients, with a corner shower room and a coffee station.

A modern, professional outdoor office has been created
Swift Unlimited  5m × 5.5m garden office

Many successful businesses operate from outdoor offices, offering the convenience of working from home while maintaining a professional, bespoke workspace.

Swift Unlimited has extensive experience designing and building outdoor office spaces tailored to their clients’ unique needs. As bespoke design specialists, they collaborate closely with each client to create customised solutions that combine functionality with style.

This project involved creating an outdoor office for a video marketing professional. The brief was for a modern, professional workspace suitable for hosting clients.

Design

Personalised design process

Swift Unlimited begins every project with a free site visit, a crucial stage in the design process. This visit allows their designers to fully understand the client’s goals and preferences. From the client’s perspective, it’s an opportunity to experience Swift Unlimited’s expertise and approach to significant projects.

Following the site visit, the team provided detailed design options and specifications. The chosen design was a 5m x 5.5m cedar-clad office with dark grey aluminium bi-fold doors and windows. The roof design featured a 300mm overhang, creating an attractive eaves detail along the front elevation.

Maximising space and functionality

Partition walls were used to create a dedicated corner space for a compact shower room, complete with a corner shower, toilet, and basin. To maximise the room’s efficiency, a sleek pocket door was installed, allowing the door to slide seamlessly into the wall.

Next to the shower room, Swift Unlimited incorporated a bespoke coffee station, designed to the client’s specifications. A sliding door provides access to the coffee-making facilities and a practical storage area.

Testimonial

Happy clients

The client expressed delight with their new workspace:

A garden office can be a significant investment and having done a great deal of research and requested quotes from a number of companies I settled on Swift. The reason? From the very beginning they appreciated the importance of the project to me. This aesthetic is shared by everyone in the company. From Martin, the director, who takes care of early stage planning through to the wonderfully friendly office team, and the brilliant construction guys. The level of commitment and customer service shown by everyone is top class. They project manage everything, look for ways to save you money and, unlike many companies, take care of every aspect of the job. The end result is absolutely beautiful and the standard of workmanship/attention to detail is outstanding. If you want a garden office, look no further.”
