An Alternative to Working in the Office and at Home: Your Garden

August 28th, 2009 by Administrator

Mention the subject of working from home, and you’re likely to enter a heated debate. On one side, people state working from home is wonderful, there’s no car drive required, no office politics, no lost time by simply having to be in one location for a set time, no purposeless meetings, no boring small-talk. On the other side of the argument, others say they just could not produce the self-discipline that’s needed to work at home. They’d be a bit emabarrassed to send any clients to their household. There’s just too many things going on in the house to even begin the day. Finally, the company office is great because they feel a need to get away from the house.

Now there is an option for these critics of home working : garden offices. Garden studios (or garden offices) are constructed in your own garden, not adjoining your house. A garden office gives you an opportunity to function in a quiet, free thinking surrounding, with the natural garden all around you, and a peaceful venue to hold group meetings.

The idea that the studio is isolated from your house is an essential one. It gives you a chance to escape from domesticity to your business. Utilising the web and VOIP, you can also very easily obtain your own telephone number just for the garden studio.

Consider other advantages of a garden office:-

- They’re eco-friendly : the journey from house to garden uses only natural footprints, not carbon ones.
- That short commute saves you a huge amount of fuel costs, and might allow for the possibility that your family requires just one car, not two.
- You can work at anytime of the day. Creative juices don’t mechanically run from 9-5PM, so if you have a new plan, or simply want to complete a project ahead of time, step into the garden studio.
- It’s a comfy, illuminated, natural surrounding. No sick building syndrome here. No glaring light strips, grey partitions and non-specific background-noise of normal office life.

Garden offices can recoup their costs fairly quickly, and repayments on a loan for a garden studio are often comparable, or even cheaper than, renting office space.
