The Covid pandemic might be over, but remote and hybrid working is here to stay. Consequently people all over the UK are looking for ways to create a peaceful workspace, ideally separate from their home.
A garden room can make the ideal office: when well-designed, it can provide a professional environment just a few steps from your home.
At Crusoe Garden Rooms, we design and build handcrafted, Western Red cedar-clad garden offices that are fully insulated, secure, and built to last. Our team works across the UK including in and around Nottingham, where we are based.
Here’s why a garden room makes a great home office.
Break Free from Distractions
Often, when we work from home, it’s tricky to separate home and family life. You might often find yourself working at the kitchen table or, if you’re lucky, a spare bedroom. With one of our beautiful garden rooms, you can easily escape irritating noises and interruptions.
With full insulation, plastered interiors, and a complete electrics package, Crusoe Garden Rooms provide a comfortable and professional setting, whether you often have video calls, need to focus on complex tasks, or are meeting with clients.
Perfect for All Seasons
A common concern with garden offices is whether they are comfortable in all seasons. We can ensure your garden room is fully insulated, keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter. You will also have the option of heating and air conditioning, so you can work comfortably no matter the weather.
Our garden offices are built to house-quality standards, ensuring your workspace is as comfortable as any room in your home.
No Planning Permission Needed
Unlike an extension, a garden office usually falls under permitted development, meaning you usually don’t need planning permission.
Unless you live in a conservation area, our handcrafted designs can be installed without that frustrating bureaucracy. This makes the process hassle-free, allowing you to have your new office built in a matter of weeks.
Adds Value to Your Property
A garden office is not just a practical addition to your home, it can be highly appealing to potential buyers if you sell in the future. With more people working remotely, having a purpose-built office space can be a significant selling point.
Because Crusoe Garden Rooms provide fully detached structures, they don’t cut down on your home’s existing living space. Instead, you will have extra room that can be used in a wide range of ways.
It’s Cheaper than Renting Office Space
Running a garden office is usually cheaper than commuting or renting office space. Crusoe Garden Rooms are designed with energy efficiency in mind, meaning they require minimal heating and can be fitted with energy-saving features like LED lighting.
With train prices higher than ever, commuting is more expensive than in the past. By introducing a garden office, you can save money in the long run.
Secure and Built to Last
You might have an expensive computer, important documents or other valuables in your office. In such cases, security is a key concern.
That’s why all Crusoe Garden Rooms come with multipoint locking aluminium or UPVC doors and windows, providing excellent protection against intruders.
With a one-piece rubber roof and high-quality Western Red cedar cladding, our garden rooms are designed to withstand all kinds of weather while maintaining their aesthetic appeal for years to come.
Customisable to Suit Your Needs
Every professional has different workspace requirements. At Crusoe Garden Rooms, we offer eleven main designs that can be tailored to your specific needs.
Need a compact office ideal for solo working? Or a larger space for a growing business? Our bespoke service allows you to choose:

With over 350 installations throughout the UK, we have experience creating unique and practical spaces for professionals, freelancers, and business owners alike.
Easy and Quick Installation
Unlike a property extension, which can take months to construct, a garden office can be built in a fraction of the time. Our skilled team handles everything from design to installation, ensuring a seamless process from start to finish.
Because every structure is built by hand, with no prefabricated sections, your office will be crafted with exceptional care. We’re committed to providing a high-quality finish that meets your exact specifications.
