How She Sheds provide your dream space

Sponsored post for She Shed Week by Smart Garden Offices

From Man Caves to She Sheds, the rise of the garden building as a retreat has seen an undeniable resurgence in popularity in recent years.

Over the past 10 years Smart has manufactured and installed hundreds of personally specified She Sheds (even before they were branded as such!) for a multitude of uses, creating tranquil home office environments or personal retreats outside of the home.

Over 4.2 million people in the UK currently work from home, nearly 14% of the workforce. For business owners looking to expand their operation from the spare room or dining room table, purpose-built garden offices and studios provide a fast and cost-effective way to expand living space for less.

She Sheds also provide work-life balance with a shorter commute to the office and a secure, lockable door at the end of the day. The benefits undoubtedly appeal to many women (and families), enabling them to juggle family life and childcare arrangements whilst running a successful business closer to home at a time to suit them.

The Ultra Extro was personalised for Miss S, who offers her own counselling practice in South London and designed to complement the layout of her garden.

It utilises the natural light to create a warm and welcoming environment for her clients, and one that she would love to work in every single day of the year.

The contemporary Ultra range chosen by Miss S is packed with details to create the ideal garden environment for working from home.

The Ultra comes with unlimited floor-to-ceiling windows as standard, is fully insulated throughout and comprises of 150mm thick walls, keeping Miss S and her clients warm in the winter and cooler in summer.

The dynamic look of the unique floating cedar panels on the exterior is combined with a breath-taking ‘picture frame’ fascia and portico with integral deck. This garden office is designed to blend into the garden and become a treasured part of your home.

Miss S is pleased with the end results: ‘I am delighted with my office and love being able to welcome my clients here. Being based at home, but outside of my house, allows me and my clients’ greater privacy and less disturbances. This really feels a tranquil environment to work in.’

Other She Sheds Smart has recently installed include a personal gym, library, art studio, holistic therapy and treatment room, long arm quilting studio and sewing room.
