Summer’s coming around at last, and the chances are that you’re thinking about dusting off the garden furniture, cleaning out the shed and generally giving your back yard a makeover in preparation for spending more time outdoors. But apart from throwing the odd garden party or taking your lap top out to the sun deck occasionally, the combination of a busy professional lifestyle, various family commitments the English weather don’t always make it easy for you to spend time surrounded by the peace and quiet of your garden – this is where Ecospace Garden Studios come into their own.

Recently created up by an innovative team of architects, the concept of the Ecospace is a simple one: to build an environmentally friendly, attractive living, working or sleeping space that compliments your natural surroundings and allows you to make the most of the space you have available. Built form natural, sustainable materials and designed to compliment green spaces, Ecospace Garden Studios are becoming increasingly popular for a number of good reasons.

Garden Studios not only look great, they’re eminently practical and serve to eliminate many of the headaches associated with creating a house extension. From the moment the project starts the cost is fixed, there is no call to rely upon unpredictable building contractors and all your fees are totally transparent. It’s unlikely you’ll need planning permission for a garden studio and they are designed to be discreet, attractive and, of course, environmentally harmonious, so the worst conflict you’re likely to encounter with your neighbours is their envy of your new working and socialising space.

All Ecospaces are built off–site, keeping disruption to a minimum and ensuring that your studio can be constructed in your garden within days. In a nutshell, by investing in an Ecospace Garden Studio you can serve a vast range of purposes: it’s perfect for making better use of your outdoor space, it’s great for those looking for a home office that removes the distractions of working in the family home, it can eliminate your commute, improve your productivity and allow you to create the library or studio you’ve always dreamed of.
