GARDEN DESIGN
Garden Offices
Green Retreats have long been advocates for working from home , creating stunning garden offices for customers who needed extra space to work in , at home , away from the house . They provide the ultimate work from home space that gives clients the best of both worlds , an office to work in without the distractions of home life and when it ’ s time to finish , you can walk away and lock up and resist the urge to open the laptop .
Garden offices from Green Retreats provide space to work in all year round , and are available in hundreds of style and size configurations to suit almost any garden space and budget . Sizes start at just 4m ² and go up in half-metre increments all the way to 30m ² with width and depth choices to suit the client ’ s use .
The Undeniable Data
There is no doubt that garden rooms , offices and studios , that were once in an emerging market , have now become the solution to working from home for those who need dedicated space from which to do so . No matter how 2021 pans out , it seems as though garden offices are set to be an ever-popular addition to people ’ s homes for years to come .

The sloping roof of the TGO1 extends from all sides creating a grand hooded feature , styled in either black or graphite . The three-board decking is coloured matched with your choice of either graphite or black complete the aesthetic . Unique to the TGO range is the wrap-around door and window sets to enhance the corner aspect of your garden office .

What are the Rules ?
Garden rooms generally do not require planning permission because they fall within permitted development rights . Garden rooms are classed as ‘ outbuildings ’ and as such can be built without permission as long as customers comply with permitted development guidelines .
