I'm in the process of writing an article for a business magazine about maintaining a professional image when you work from home, and this would solve many of the most common problems in one fell swoop - leave behind the family noise and domestic detritus and whisk your visitor into your sleek, shiny OfficePod in a corner of the garden. Light years away from the traditional shed and very impressive! Can't say I'm as keen on the 'Tiny House' illustrating the Guardian article. It looks like a hobbit's house in a wheelbarrow!

On the subject of making the most of a compact workspace with nifty storage solutions, how would you fancy <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/apr/25/working-from-home-garden-office-shed1" rel="nofollow">working from a shed</a> at the bottom of the garden? This Guardian article explores how to go about it. It's an appealing idea, I think. Sometimes when I'm working from home, I find it all too easy to become distracted by (or bothered about) all the other little domestic jobs which need doing instead of focussing purely on work. I can believe that taking a few steps down a path or across the garden into a purpose-built professional environment could help build work routines and the whole process of entering productive'work mode'. I particularly like <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/gallery/2009/apr/25/working-from-home-office-shed?picture=346414037" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. It reminds me of a Tardis.

I particularly like this one. It reminds me of a Tardis. What do you think?
