Insulated for real winters
Walls, roof and floor built to proper U-values in a factory line, not a flat-pack panel kit — warm in January, not just a fair-weather pod.
Use case · Garden office
Your commute,
across the lawn.
A finished, four-season garden office — properly insulated, heated and wired, ready to work in the day it lands. Not a fair-weather shed. And against rent or a coworking desk, it quietly pays itself back.
The case
A garden room built to be worked in — all year.
Most "garden offices" on the market are insulated sheds: a summerhouse with a plug socket. They look the part in June and fail you in January. Ours is a factory-finished building — built to the same standard as our homes — engineered for northern winters.
Heated, wired, finished
Arrives with electrics, lighting and heating in place. Plug in, sit down, work — no second fit-out project after the shed lands.
Daylight, glare-managed
Generous glazing and a considered orientation so the room reads as a calm studio, not a garden box with a window cut into it.
Quiet enough to think
Solid timber construction and acoustic detailing keep the household — and the weather — on the other side of the wall.
- The commute Gone. The walk to work is across the lawn.
- The cost A one-time build instead of rent that never stops.
- The separation A door that closes — home stays home, work stays work.
- The asset It stays on your land and adds to it; rent leaves and never returns.

The maths
Rent never stops. A build pays itself off.
Coworking desks and small office rents are a cost with no end and no asset at the finish. A garden office is one outlay that stays on your land. The numbers below are illustrative — placeholders for a typical Wider-EU spend, not a quote.
Keep renting
€600/mo
- €350/mo for a dedicated coworking desk
- ≈ €72,000 over 10 years
- Nothing owned at the end
Build once
€38,000 from
- One outlay — financeable, not perpetual
- ≈ 63 months of office rent
- An asset that stays on your property

Before you build
A garden office is often lighter on permits — never assume zero.
A detached garden room used as an office is frequently treated more leniently than a dwelling, and small footprints can fall under permitted-development-style allowances in some areas. But the moment it's slept in, plumbed, or over a size threshold, the rules change — and "no permit needed" is never a safe default for a habitable building. We help you read your local rules before you commit a cent.

Build it, price it, and see it pay back.
Configure your Corner House office to the spec you want and watch the landed price the whole way — then weigh it against the rent you'd otherwise never stop paying.
