With remote working now a permanent fixture for many, the demand for dedicated home office space has never been greater. A garden office or annexe could be the perfect solution if you’re struggling to find a quiet, focused area within your home. Not only does it provide a secluded workspace away from household distractions, but it can also add significant value to your property.

​

Beyond just workspaces, garden annexes are increasingly popular for accommodating guests, providing independent living for family members, or even generating rental income. Whether you need a stylish home office or a versatile living space, a well-designed garden building offers endless possibilities without the hassle of extending your main house.

​

Tailored to Your Needs and Lifestyle

​

At Ikonic Architecture, we understand that every family’s needs are different. That’s why our approach to garden offices and annexes is fully customised. We start by discussing how you intend to use the space—be it as a home office, a studio, or a self-contained living area. From there, we craft a design that fits seamlessly into your garden while blending with your property’s style.

​

Our expert designers take into account everything from practical considerations like insulation and heating to aesthetic details that ensure the new structure enhances your outdoor space. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist garden office or a fully equipped annexe, we help you bring your vision to life.

​

Planning Permission and Regulations

​

One of the first questions clients often ask is whether they need planning permission for a garden office or annexe. In many cases, these structures fall under Permitted Development, meaning they can be built without the need for planning permission. However, factors such as the size, height, and location of the building, as well as whether it’s intended for living accommodation, will determine the specific regulations. Our team will guide you through the entire process, helping you understand the rules and ensuring your project stays compliant.

Cost Considerations

​

The cost of garden offices and annexes can vary widely depending on size, features, and materials. For example, a small, single-room garden office will be less expensive than a larger, fully equipped annexe with kitchen and bathroom facilities. We work closely with quantity surveyors and trusted contractors to help budget the investment required while also ensuring that you get the best possible value for your budget.

​

Whether you’re looking for a simple garden office for remote work or a more complex annexe for multigenerational living, our goal is to provide a realistic cost assessment tailored to your unique needs.

​

Maximising Your Garden Space

​

A well-designed garden building doesn’t just serve a practical purpose—it also enhances your outdoor space. By carefully considering the layout, positioning, and landscaping around the structure, we create designs that not only blend seamlessly with your garden but also elevate its overall appeal.

​

We pay close attention to integrating natural light, selecting high-quality materials, and ensuring year-round comfort with effective insulation and heating solutions. The result is a garden office or annexe that feels like a true extension of your home.
