The in.it.studios office garden rooms are designed for the urban environment and with an external height that generally means it can be exempt from requiring planning permission. The dedicated environment allows you to work at home, yet provides the necessary privacy and separation form your home life.  Fully insulated, heated and serviced to provide the right temperatures through all the seasons and allowing you to work all year round in a comfortable office space.

So now that we have the fundamentals and mandatories covered, will it fit in the garden? Do I have all the planning regulation rigmarole to go through? Will I have to get it all wired up so I don’t freeze to death in the winter? What do I get for my money?  Let’s talk about why you might bother to make this massive change to your work-life balance and have one of our magnificent office garden rooms installed.

Sure you don’t need to be reminded that your workplace should be an inspiring, motivational space with adequate facilities to be at your most productive. It could be that you’re crammed up in a tiny room in the main house at the moment, which you might either be sharing with the dog or the household cleaning apparatus! You might even be commuting miles to work, sat in traffic on the motorway for 3 hours a day, getting stressed out and certainly not getting that important work done.

The in.it studios office garden rooms provide an ideal solution to working from home. The money and time saved on motoring and rental costs, makes the switch a viable option from an emotional, health and happiness at work perspective but also as a worthy investment as it’s also a great addition to any garden!

Many studio customers have created an office garden room and then found many secondary uses for the new addition to their home, which can be enjoyed by the whole family. We have heard some of our customers also use their new found office space has doubled up as an alfresco dining room, artists studio, children’s playroom, family room, games room, guest room - when the house is bursting at the seams or just as somewhere to hide when things are getting a bit hectic in the main house.

As anyone with teenage children will testify, there comes a time in any child’s development when, put simply, they want their own space.  The only problem is that this desire often awakens a number of years before they have the means or maturity to spread their wings and make their own way in the world – it’s in this hinterland between dependence and independence that in.it.studios can offer some a solution with their inspirational garden rooms.

The irony of adolescence is that children rail against all constraints without appreciation of the demands that this freedom will bring to bear upon them.  Additional living space, separate from your current household yet still within the boundaries of your own land, can provide this perfect blend of protection and freedom.  As our garden rooms are entirely detached, your child can learn to express themselves, freely, with a space of their own to decorate, make noise and relax in without imposing on your existing living areas and the lifestyle you choose to adopt there.  On top of this, they can learn a sense of responsibility for their own choices and actions without feeling cut loose from the security of parental support.

Furthermore, you can still parent them effectively, providing support and guidance as they explore their burgeoning identity; without either party feeling like you are policing them or cramping their style.  As we all recall from our own adolescence, teenagers do not make this balancing act easy for their parents and any resources that aid you in establishing a strong and trusting bond at this stage in their life will make you much closer, emotionally, in future years.

And choosing to develop garden rooms in this manner is not simply a response to an angry teenager – once they’ve flown the nest, these annexes become even more practical as you rediscover the freedom to pursue activities other than simply being parents again! You may convert it to a Music Room or Guest Annexe (certainly useful when your children come to visit occasionally!).

With the cost of relocating higher than ever, most households look to improve value and lifestyle choices by redeveloping their existing properties.  With fewer lofts left to convert, garden rooms are the next logical step and, with the attention to detail you’ll get from in.it.studios, you can be assured that your house (and your family) will benefit for years to come.

You may be one of the many people who are left reeling at the prospect of the Christmas period. With the additional costs and stresses that are associated with the run up to the event, having a quiet space to escape to may seem like a great idea. Garden Rooms from in.it.Studios offer a perfect haven for escaping the build up to Christmas. Our units are built to the highest of standards and can be tailored to your specific requirements. Perhaps you have a large family, who intend to descend on your home this festive period - then garden rooms can be used for extra sleeping capacity. Each unit can be installed with toilet facilities and also kitchen suites in the larger examples, creating a home from home for your visitors.  Another use for garden rooms is to create a separate space away from your main living space. This is a valuable asset if you have teenagers in the house for a long period of time. Simply install a TV and games system for them to use and they will happily spend hours without disturbing the rest of the household. You need not feel bad about shipping your youngsters out in to the snow covered garden, as our garden rooms come fitted with top of the range aluminium windows. Argon filled glass offer higher levels of insulation and as such your room stays warmer. Another benefit is that argon windows are environmentally sound, which is only one of the steps that in.It.Studios take when building our garden rooms. For example we take the additional step of installing an air tight membrane on the internal surface of our structures, thus increasing the insulation efficiency.

Perhaps you have smaller children who run amok, searching for an early peek at their Christmas presents? Garden rooms are a great space for studios or home offices and as these tend to be exclusively adult environments, they make great places to keep presents away from prying eyes. So this Christmas, whether you love or loathe the festive season, choosing to install a garden room will be a great addition to your home.
