    With more and more people working from home these days, there has also been an increased demand for <a href="http://inhabitat.com/6-eco-offices-that-beat-your-cubicle-any-day/" target="_blank">pop-up home offices</a> that set up in a snap. We've seen <a href="http://inhabitat.com/officepod-a-cubicle-right-in-your-garden-shed/" target="_blank">officepods</a>, backyard sheds, and prefab huts, and now UK-based designer and builder <a href="http://www.roomworks.co.uk/" target="_blank">Roomworks</a> is serving up energy-efficient and <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/category/green-roof" target="_blank">green-roofed</a> garden offices that are completely customizable little spaces for your dream office or studio.

  • Roomworks
    Roomworks provides customizable garden offices that set up in a snap. The units can be attached to an existing building or put on their own foundation in a yard.
    2
  • Roomworks
    Offices can be built in whatever size you need for your home office, and they take about two weeks from laying the foundation to completion.
    3
  • Roomworks
    The garden offices are designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
    4
  • Roomworks
    Skylights can be added to the roof to provide more natural daylighting.
    5
  • Roomworks
    A green sedum roof planted with a mix of 15 different varieties of sedum and meadow flowers provides a low-maintenance, beautiful roof.
    6
  • Roomworks
    The roof helps insulated the office from heat in the summer and cold in the winter.
    7
  • Roomworks
    The green roof also doubles the lifetime of the roof because it protects it from the elements.
    8
  • Roomworks
    This extra protective layer also significantly increases the acoustic and thermal insulation performance of the roof.
    9
  • Roomworks
    The units are built with SIPs and clad in FSC-certified western red cedar.
    10
  • Roomworks
    The cedar can be left untreated and is resistant to warping, shrinking, decay and insects, and is light weight in order to reduce the amount of concrete needed for the foundation.
    11
  • Roomworks
    Roomworks takes care of all the design, planning, foundation and installation of the garden shed -- even the interior decorating if you want.
