Home office design : log cabins

Designer log home offices

When thinking of designing an office for home, don't just think of the layout, think of the look and feel and how it is going to be to work in. A log cabin office using flat logs has the advantage that it can increase the value of your property. I once spent £500 having a partition wall and secure door added to my garage. Instead, I could have put this towards a nice new log cabin in the garden which would have added to the value of the house as a valuable extra outside space and would have meant that I didn't reduce the usable area of the garage.

A home office in the house has various disadvantages when compared with the garden, click here for more details. The overall idea of working from an office at home is a good one however for many people (click here for more).

When designing the office, using a cabin gives you more flexibility in the layout. Instead of being constricted by the existing shape of the room that you select in your house, you can make the space as you wish to have it and even create more space than you need in case of future requirements.

Think whether you wish to have internal partitions, whether you wish to have the door glazed partially or fully and also the layout and number of the windows.

Position of windows is important to give maximum natural light to desk space but also might be important to position properly to prevent strong sunlight falling on you or colleagues on really sunny days. Windows positioned at a side and front can give good throughput of air when required. Consider also the height of the windows from the ground when you put the windows in the structure, as you have the choice of how high up the wall you have them - think where the desk height is!
