Radiating Style - The Garden Office

By Francesca McGlone on 10th November, 2010

Apart from the obvious benefits a garden office brings to the course and overall shape of a working day; its dramatic impact within a garden equates to the awe that is awakened when faced with the display of a sparkling gem.

On bright days, sunlight can easily filter through the spaces between tree branches, casting a pattern of lace-like shadows upon the cedar surface of a garden office. Sunlight can also serve as a natural spotlight that softly emphasises the qualities of a garden office, which can include a streamline finish and a beautiful display of craftsmanship.

The characteristics of a garden tend to be accentuated by a garden office’s presence, as angular, sharp edges become juxtaposed by the gliding curves of nature. Other elements can cement the office firmly as an integrated form within the garden, through the help of decorative additions, such as a path leading up to its entrance, a patio that sweeps around its edges or potted plants that decorate its perimeters.

A garden office placed in a variety of different positions, be it next to a vegetable patch, in a quiet corner or tucked away at the bottom of the garden can serve to positively alter the dynamics of a space, by adding depth and intrigue. Depending on the location of your garden and the views available, a garden office can provide a sheltered vantage point that may back out onto open countryside or even overlook the sea, if you are lucky enough to live in such desirable areas.

A garden office completes an outdoor space, making it habitable as a luxurious portal in which to retreat, whilst soaking up the benefits nature exudes. The luscious colour of botanical bloom also helps to welcome the garden office into its rightful place, just as water serves as the only means to showcase a boat’s attribute

A garden office can give your garden a new sense of purpose and focus, as a beautiful but functional structure that enhances a garden’s character. Western red cedar cladding helps to meld the exterior of the office with the warm, earthy tones of a garden, while gracefully ageing over time. Nature seems to cultivate a bond with the garden office as it continues to welcome it into the fold, with branches that fall across its front or climbing plants that unify nature and the garden office to provide a harmonious and relaxing place in which to work.
