Made for life
in Enfield.
For an Enfield office, map the working day from the house to the desk: the path, door position, coat storage and lighting matter alongside floor area. If the room will host regular visitors, mention that at the outset so use and access can be assessed. A one-person workspace and a shared office call for different circulation and privacy choices.
Start with what mattersGood design
Good design
begins here.
Three conversations to have before settling on the size and specification of your garden office.
01
Your working layout
Allow for the desk, chair movement, storage and any second workstation before choosing the external footprint.
02
Light and privacy
Position screens alongside daylight and consider the view into the room from both your home and neighbouring gardens.
03
Power and connectivity
Agree socket positions, the electrical supply and a dependable connection to the house before the interior is finished.
