The Project
The clients approached us with a familiar challenge: preparing their home for a newborn while managing the demands of working from home. One client was using the dining table, while the other worked from an ironing board in the living room - clearly an unsustainable solution. Initially, we weren't sure whether the building would need planning permission. So, to comply with regulations, we secured a planning certificate due to the height and steps in the garden.
The Work
With planning permission granted, we proceeded with the project. Given the commonality of such projects in London properties, the existing shed was removed to make space for a garden office. To meet the client's need for storage, we added a practical store to our Jay office design, creating a combination room. Surprisingly, the 2.3 x 1.9m space was ample for one person, and positioning the desk sideways maximised the space efficiently. A side window was incorporated, offering more natural light and better integration with the garden and house.
As with all our Jay garden offices, the building features zero-maintenance cladding, an EPDM rubber roof, and house-specification doors and windows, ensuring durability with a 10-year guarantee and a 50-year lifespan. This low-maintenance, long-lasting solution adds significant value to the property, making it an excellent asset for the family, even if they move in the future.

The Result
It was truly rewarding to assist this family, particularly knowing how challenging it was for Mr.G to work from an ironing board every day. Helping them secure the necessary planning permissions, offering expert advice, and completing the project while they navigated pregnancy and the arrival of their baby was a privilege.
