Top Ten Most Stylish Backyard Offices

Blog Image

If your home office is in the box room or loft conversion, you’re behind the times! Backyard offices are the future, apparently. They’re a great way to get away from the distractions of the home (the kids want attention, the dog needs walking) and, with improvements in wifi, remaining connected to the outside world is no longer a problem. Here are are some of the most inventive backyard offices we've come across.

Pulitzer Prize winner Martha Mendoza had this installed in her backyard to provide a quiet office space away from her busy home. Fully insulated, with double-pane windows and a framed-glass door, this charming retreat has everything a celebrated journalist needs – including strawberries and salad greens growing close by the door.

Not everyone has the means and the connections to have a custom built office erected in their back garden. WorkPod by Ecospace is designed to fit into any contemporary garden space and is made to look part of the natural environment. It comes with all the office technology you need for your work already built in, making this a great space for any home.

The Archipod is not only extremely cool (who doesn’t want to work inside what is essentially a giant coconut?) but also brings a lot of benefits. You’ll be saving money on heating bills and transport costs, and the Archipod is unlikely to need planning permission to put up. It can be easily adapted for multiple uses; you can use it as a studio, hobby room, meditation area, dining room, or tree house!

This was a custom built recording studio, designed by Piet Hein Eek for entertainer Hans Liberg, and is a creative and fun modern spin on the traditional log cabin. The exterior consists of stacked logs that cover a plastic and steel frame; these provide insulation and sound-proofing abilities that any neighbours of Liberg are probably grateful for.

Vendrolini, an animator and graphic designer in San Francisco, adapted this greenhouse for use as his home office.
