This contemporary garden office was designed as a dedicated outdoor workspace, creating a quiet, functional environment separate from the main house. Set within a private garden, the design balances clean architectural form with natural materials to deliver a space that is both highly practical and visually refined. The charred larch garden studio provides a peaceful work-from-home environment while the surrounding garden features warm reclaimed brick, a bubbling water feature and a sheltered outdoor seating area with fire.

With all the changes to our home and work life since March 2020, our outside spaces have become more important than ever. This small garden in Wicklow was a case in point. The brief was to squeeze a home office and garden shed and a seated area with outdoor fire into this rather small space. The objective was to meet the client’s practical needs but in a way that everything was integrated into the design.

This ensures the garden is not only beautiful but practical and low maintenance too. This garden featured a bespoke home office designed by us which was clad in burnt Larch cladding externally and internally. The office design included a hidden door at the side which housed the oil tank and shed. The garden was all finished in porcelain paving and featured a red brick feature wall and outdoor gas fire and three bubbling water features set into the box hedging.
