Garden Office Pod

Our clients wanted a multipurpose Garden Pod to use as a Home Office, since both of them worked part-time from home. The garden had plenty of space for a 3m x 5m pod, with large windows and french door, to accommodate an office desk, sofa bed, coffee table and armchairs.
We chose the location and designed the layout of the office so that it had minimal impact on the neighbour’s property and to maximize the benefit of natural light.

The Garden Pod serves not only as a home office; the teenage members of the family can use it for gathering with their friends, while it can also be used as an extra bedroom for guests.

The triple-glazed windows and door, along with the 150mm walls and roof insulation, will ensure that the pod is warm and comfortable during the colder months.

Our client wanted a Garden Office so that he could work from home when he needed to do so. But he also wanted a space that would be suitable for consulting with clients in both face-to-face and online discussions – and thus a particularly well-insulated space, both thermally and acoustically.

We designed and installed a Garden Office that not only looks good and adds value to the property, but is also particularly well-insulated.

With more and more businesses allowing employees to work from home, whether part-time or full-time, the home owner decided to install a dedicated Garden Office that would also serve as a dedicated space for his hobby – music and playing the guitar.
To make sure that the playing of music would not disturb his neighbours, we installed triple-glazed windows and door, 150mm Rockwool insulation* and Soundbloc** plasterboard. And, once the internal walls had been installed, we added acoustic slat wall panelling*** – a decorative wall treatment that not only improves a room’s acoustic properties but also looks good.

With all this specification, the client will enjoy both a cozy Garden Office and a great music room, with no worries about upsetting his neighbours.

We at The Garden Pod specialize not only in designing and installing Garden Pods for a wide range of uses, but also in adding the extras needed for special purposes, such as great acoustic performance and sound absorption.
*Rockwool insulation (150mm) provides excellent thermal performance, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing heating costs. It ensures superior fire resistance, contributing to improved building safety. It also has great sound absorption properties.
**Soundbloc plasterboard offers better acoustic performance. It reduces sound transmission while also ensuring extra fire resistance and thus contributing to overall building safety.
***Acoustic slat wall panelling reduces noise levels, controls sound reverberation, improves overall sound quality, and is also aesthetically pleasing.

Our client wanted an independent Home Office to maintain work-life balance; a well-insulated unit with triple-glazed windows and door for maximum comfort all year around.
We chose the location and designed the layout of the office so that it had minimal impact on the neighbour’s property and to maximize the benefit of natural light.

Despite the layout of the property, a mid-terrace house, we ensured that this cozy Garden Office fitted neatly with the house and within the garden. And, thanks to the client’s furnishing, internal decoration and final touches, this Garden Office looks wonderfully welcoming and cozy.

Our clients, a couple, were both working at home part-time. Since they often had to take calls at the same time, and also engage in video conferencing and online meetings, they had to use two different rooms of their house, well separate from each other.
They wanted an independent building for their work, away from home life and distraction. Due to the spacious back garden, a Bespoke Garden Office was the perfect solution to give them a good home/office balance.
They wanted to maximize the use of a garden corner, without encroaching on the garden patio, and to incorporate the Garden Office in the layout of the garden.

We custom-designed and installed the Garden Office with a small storage unit for garden tools. We included a side window that provides good natural light, and a view of the house. We located the French door so that it would give good access to the unit while connecting the indoor space with the outdoor patio.
Due to the natural colors and Red Cedar exterior finishes, the office blends beautifully with the mature garden.
Along with an office in the house, the couple now have a lovely Garden Office that they can share between them as need be.

The Garden Pod team recently finished this bespoke Garden Pod designed to make the most of this fantastic garden space. The client needed a dedicated space for a Home Office and to double up as a recording studio.

This spacious Garden Office Pod (3x4m) has plenty of room to feature a Home Office – desk space, shelving, storage including a relaxed seating area for meetings or recording music.
Situated in the corner of our client’s garden, the garden pod includes an extended roof creating an overhang feature which adds to the detail of the pod.

Finished in red cedar wood, triple glazing window and doors, and 150mm insulation, ensuring a garden room which is comfortable to use all year round. We completed the project with composite decking to link the main house and garden room and installed lights along the edges drawing the eye to the pod.

All our designs are bespoke, and we can alter the dimensions to suit your garden size, as well as the location of windows and doors to optimise sunlight and the best use of your available space.

Our client asked us to create a versatile space that maximizes the area between a garden building (shed and utility room) and a retaining wall. Our expertise and experience enabled us to seamlessly integrate the new office into the tight space defined by the garden building and the back and retaining walls. This means that the internal space of the office benefits from every inch available.

Designed with functionality and flexibility in mind, this Home Office serves as a perfect WFH (work from home) solution, but also offers the potential to be transformed into a delightful garden playroom for the younger members of the family. We have prioritized comfort and energy efficiency by incorporating top-of-the-line insulation in the roof, walls and floor. Plus, with triple-glazed windows and doors, maintaining a cosy environment comes with minimal expense.

The owner of a freshly purchased two-bedroom property had a pressing need for a dedicated workspace to keep his family business running smoothly.
To ensure minimal interruption, the client contacted us even before receiving the keys to the house so that we could organize the installation of his Garden Office for his work station as soon as possible. Swift action was key, so we wasted no time in getting the office up and running.

Our attention then turned to enhancing the overall aesthetics of the garden, specifically by installing a new timber frame with a sleek, slatted fence. This not only improved the visual appeal of the garden but also provided privacy and a sense of enclosure for the new Garden Office. From urgent workspace solutions to enhancing outdoor and garden aesthetics, our team is dedicated to meeting our clients’ needs and exceeding their expectations.

What do you do if you are using your spare bedroom as a Home office and along comes a new family member? That quiet spare bedroom is not so spare anymore. It’s prime real estate, needed for something rather more important than work.

The solution? Replace the garden shed with a stunning new Garden Office.
Integrating the new Garden Office seamlessly into the garden was a straightforward task.

To ensure easy access and a harmonious link between the house and the office, we aligned the access door with the existing path of paving stones. This not only enhanced the visual appeal but also means that people can keep their shoes dry when walking from house to office and back. We installed a side window to provide a pleasant view of the outdoor plants and sitting area along the back wall, which add a touch of greenery and tranquillity. Overall, this new Garden Office, blending functionality with style, is a fine replacement for the spare bedroom.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many people are increasingly working from home (WfH). According to a Central Statistics Office (CSO) survey, some 90% of 35-44 year-olds want to continue working from home when restrictions end. And 93% of survey participants employed in Dublin commuter areas such as Kildare, Louth, Meath and Wicklow, who could work remotely, wanted to continue doing so after the pandemic.

Working from home ensures a better work-life balance, more time with family, and avoiding long commuting times.
If you’re able to work from home, we have the perfect solution for you – so that you don’t have to work on a kitchen table with noise all around you, ask family members to stay quiet while you take a phone or conference call, or suffer repeated interruptions.

Garden Office Pod – perfect for working from home
We can provide you with our superb Garden Office Pod – finished to very high standards, including plastered walls and ceiling and a robust 12mm laminate floor. It will be easy to keep warm and cosy thanks to the 150mm walls and ceiling insulation, rigid foam base insulation, triple-glazed windows and doors, 1KW High Quality Thermic Emission Oil with quick heat-up times, and Open Window Technology that improves energy efficiency.
It's got a steel-frame base, which we will install on the ground using ground screws, which avoids the mess created by digging, removing soil, working with concrete – and annoying your neighbours! Another advantage is that the base can be relocated at any stage in the future.

• Lifestyle heater, complete with large, easy-to-read TFT display and a digital thermostat that is accurate to 0.2°C and silent


• 6 internal LED recessed lights and external recessed and wall lights to provide great lighting at low cost


• Electrical consumer unit, complying with regulations and giving full control of all circuits/electric points


• Double sockets at each corner of the unit, allowing for variation in office layout.

Our client, who runs a small family business, wanted a dedicated home office. He was using his attic bedroom as a temporary office while looking for the right option for a more accessible and dedicated office.
Because of its size and layout, the garden would not provide the space needed, so we designed and installed a Home Office Pod beside the back door of the house. We used the overhanging roof-line to link and shelter the transit from back door to office door.

One section of the new unit, with its own access from the garden, stores all the business tools and other items needed.

So, in the end, even though the garden was not suitable for a Home Office, an excellent solution was found. The client now has a Home Office that ticks all the boxes in his list of requirements. As they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

With remote working now on the increase, this project is the perfect example of how installing a garden pod can transform how you work and live in your home. Our client asked for two things, a Home Office - separate to the house and a workshop for their hobby with storage.
The Garden Pod team took advantage of the spacious passageway at the side of the home and created a storage and workshop area.

This space connects directly to the Garden Office which is also accessible from the back garden by triple glazed double doors.

As all our Garden Pods are bespoke, The Garden Pod team will discuss exactly what you require and design your pod to ensure that all of your requirements are met while working within the constraints of your garden space.

Our client asked us to build a Compact Garden Office with just enough space for a desk and a few storage shelves.
The proposed area in the garden for this Office Pod was not to exceed a paved area that had been used for outdoor seating.

We designed and installed the Garden Pod so that an existing paved path could be used to access the garden office, and we used some of the existing paving slabs to install a convenient step-up into the office.
To improve the Office Pod’s appearance and to provide shelter for its front wall, we installed an overhang roof with recessed light.
