I worked from the kitchen table for long enough to know how hard it is. You clear away the breakfast things, shut the dog in the other room and hope nobody wanders downstairs halfway through a video call.
For Natalie, a counsellor in Surrey, the kitchen table was never an option. Her clients need somewhere private and quiet, where they can talk without wondering who's in the next room.
So we built her a 3.3m x 2.7m garden room with its own door and a desk under a tall window looking out onto the garden. It took us under two weeks.
The interior is all Natalie's work, and she's done a brilliant job: framed prints, plants on the shelves, a rug underfoot. It feels calm the moment you step inside, which is what a counselling room needs. We always leave that part to the customer, because that's how it becomes theirs.
It's fully insulated with air conditioning, so it's comfortable for sessions in January and July. It was plastered and ready to use the day we finished.
Here's what Natalie said in her Google review:
"We absolutely love our garden office. It was a really easy process and felt very listened to. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
