WORK FROM HOME. WITHOUT WORK TAKING OVER HOME.

A dedicated space just a few steps away

Working from the kitchen table works, until it doesn't.

A separate home office cabin gives you somewhere purpose-built to work, meet clients, create or concentrate, while keeping a clear separation between work and home.

Tiny Home Base has cabins in a range of footprints and configurations, from compact single-room studios through to larger spaces with bathrooms, kitchenettes and separate rooms.

A BETTER WORK-FROM-HOME SETUP

Why choose a separate home office cabin?

A standalone workspace gives you something that a spare bedroom often can't: separation.

  • A quiet workspace away from household distractions
  • No commute beyond the back door
  • Keep bedrooms and living areas for living
  • Space for desks, screens, storage and equipment
  • Create a professional environment for video calls or clients
  • Use the building differently later if your needs change

And because the cabin is built before arriving at your property, you avoid turning part of your home into a construction site.

Talk To The Team
  • Home office

    A dedicated everyday workspace for one or more people.

  • Consulting or meeting space

    Create separation between clients and your family home.

  • Creative studio

    Ideal for art, design, music, crafting or other creative work.

  • Treatment or consulting room

    A private space for suitable home-based services, subject to any applicable local requirements.

  • Study space

    Create somewhere quiet for university study, professional development or older children.

  • Flexible extra room

    If your working arrangements change later, the cabin can potentially become guest accommodation, a hobby room or general extra space.

DESIGNED AROUND HOW YOU WORK

What makes a good garden office?

A productive workspace is about more than fitting a desk through the door.

Consider:

  • Natural light – windows can make a compact office feel significantly larger.
  • Power points – allow for computers, monitors, printers and other equipment.
  • Heating and insulation – important for comfortable year-round use.
  • Internet connectivity – plan Wi-Fi extension, ethernet or other connectivity before installation.
  • Storage – cabinetry or shelving can keep the workspace uncluttered.
  • Bathroom facilities – useful for larger offices or customer-facing spaces.
  • Layout – think about desk position, circulation and whether more than one person will work there.

Visit Tiny Home Base and you can test the space with your own requirements in mind rather than trying to judge it from a floor plan.

READY-BUILT SPACE

Add the room you need without extending your house

A transportable office cabin offers a practical alternative to altering the existing home.

Depending on the cabin and site, benefits can include:

  • Less disruption than a conventional extension
  • Completed building available to inspect before purchase
  • Faster pathway to usable space
  • Wide choice of sizes and layouts
  • Potential to relocate the cabin in the future
  • Clear separation between work and residential space

Tiny Home Base brings together cabins from multiple suppliers, so you can compare different approaches in one visit.

Size

How much space do you need?

Compact office

Ideal for one person, a desk and basic storage.

Larger studio

More room for multiple desks, creative work, equipment or client meetings.

Multi-room cabin

Useful where you need a separate office, meeting room, storage or facilities.

Office with bathroom or kitchenette

Suitable where greater independence from the main house is important.

The best size isn't necessarily the biggest one, it's the layout that best matches how you actually work.

FAQs

Common questions

What size cabin is best for a home office?

For a single desk setup, a small studio may be enough. Larger cabins suit multiple people, client meetings, storage or creative work. Walking through the options is the easiest way to judge how much space you actually need.

Can a garden office have a bathroom?

Yes, some cabins include bathroom facilities or can support a more self-contained setup. Plumbing and drainage requirements should be checked for your site.

How do I get internet to a separate office cabin?

Options can include extending your existing Wi-Fi network, a mesh system, ethernet cabling or a separate wireless connection. The right solution depends on the distance from your house and how you use the space

Do I need consent for a home office cabin?

Requirements depend on the building, size, installation and intended use, as well as your local district plan. Check your property and proposed use before installation.

Can I see suitable office cabins in person?

Yes. Visit the Tiny Home Base yard in Drury and compare different sizes and layouts before deciding.
