Office "pods"....very cool

Ever dreamed of creating/building a home office in your garden? Converting a shed or summer house maybe....even a tree house. I watched a TV show the other day on "unusual spaces" where a man with a very large garden was having a beautiful shiny vintage Airstream lifted by crane into the end of his garden....the interior had been custom designed for him to entertain....it was both a dining area and a disco, quite fabulous!!
An artist friend of mine, having more than outgrown the boxroom where she attempts to work, is planning to convert her large garden shed into a home studio, she will replace most of one of the walls with glass and place a large work-table at one end....fairly simple changes really and at least it will give her a permanent space to work where she won't have to keep moving her work from the kitchen table every time her family needs to eat!!
Summerhouses and outside spaces have certainly become more popular, as more people work from home....and as building regulations state that planning permission is not needed if the building being constructed is less than 15 metres square & no one is sleeping in it, it's often a very feasible option.

Even just leaving the house and heading to the end of the garden does give that feeling of "going off to work", just as some people work in a local cafe or library in order to focus more, even if it's just five minutes from home.
It creates that distance - from home, from housework and from phones and other distractions....
and with any luck, your whole family will forget you're in there & peace will ensue!
