Bespoke workspaces for productive people

If you have a project in mind to create the ideal workspace you will have spoken with friends, visited showrooms, searched the web and most likely collected more information and opinions than you have time to process. We've been there, and we've shared a few opinions of our own!

Get in touch and chat through your ideas and we'll share our experience of building businesses and great work spaces in remote working environments.   

We want to know what fuels your passion for the space you want to create.

Don’t settle for perching at the kitchen table

Are you clearing a space at the kitchen table, temporarily inhabiting a spare room, or figuring out how to grow your business while balancing family, pets, chores and deliveries?

Work with us and together we can personalise your dedicated work space and make a positive distinction between home and work.

The Process

Mybridity don't simply construct buildings. We bring a well established understanding of the world of remote and hybrid work which means our project designs are tailored to the demands of your business or projects and, most importantly, the way you want to work.

Let's chat about how Mybridity can help develop your workspace ideas and the process to bring those ideas to life.

1. Visit

There will be two themes to our visit. First, we will undertake a ground and space survey to establish any factors which may influence the scope of the project or decisions about how to bring your vision to life. This may include structural topics, influences on design, or planning considerations.  

Second, we will take the opportunity to learn more about the practical and professional demands the workspace needs to embrace. Light, power, sound proofing, technology, connectivity and general use of space will all impact the design.
‍
Mybridity will answer all your questions and pose a long list of our own!

2. Design

Now we have a better understanding of your dream workspace it’s time to have some fun bringing the ideas to life!  

Together we’ll discuss dimensions, themes, materials, and timelines before agreeing a design that will transform your working hours. Once you’re happy, and have approved the quote, we can break ground.

3. Build

From the start to the finish of the build, we will be on site personally, every day, until your dream space is realised. Our team works with one client at a time, so we remain focused on the successful delivery of your project.  

If you have a question or an idea during the build phase, you can raise it with us directly, in person, and we will be there to discuss and agree next steps, making progress quick and easy.

4. Handover

When we hand over the keys, we’ll show you round your new personalised workspace... we can even share your new commute! 

We won’t leave you to it until you know how everything works, and you’re happily settling into your new working environment.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about building an office in your garden. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for here get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.

Bespoke Workspaces

How do I get internet into my garden office?

The two most common approaches are wifi extenders and armoured cable. Wifi extenders use plugs and power cabling to connect your garden workspace to your home wifi network. Success assumes short distances and a strong, reliable, wifi signal. Amore robust option is to run armoured cable from the house to the workspace.Great for longer distances and where reliability has direct consequences on your business! Of course, there is the industrial option to commission a dedicated broadband connection for your garden workspace. Over the top for most people but a consideration for anyone working on ‘real time’ platforms, large files, or with specific security requirements.

How strong are the walls in a garden office?

Typically, Mybridity use high quality 4' x 2' timber with 11mm sterling board externally and 12.5mm plasterboard internally which gives a strong structure and allows lots of fixing options. We can also add patrices to reinforce internal walls and support the design options that work for you such as large TV's, floating shelves, air conditioning units or creative storage.

‍

Will my office be comfortable all year round?

Yes! Mybridity uses modern thermal insulation boards and, although under floor heating is an option, a small wall hung heater is plenty along with ventilation options so you are in control. These can be adapted to meet any specific needs or preferences.

‍

What options are available for interior finishes?

Most clients ask for a simple plastered finish but we can work with your ideas to create an end result that is personal to you including wood panelling, timber cladding and wallpaper. There is a wide range of flooring products available including vinyl, wood, or wood laminate.

‍

Will I have to do any maintenance work in the future?

This all depends on your choice of finish: Cedral cladding comes with a 10 year guarantee so is effectively maintenance free, whereas real timber cladding ages naturally but needs yearly maintenance to keep it looking as good as when it was installed. The choice is yours and we will advise on the pros and cons of each option.

‍

Can I have sound insulation?

There are a few topics that affect sound insulation including the amount, and type, of glass used in the design, and the surrounding environment. We can offer Rockwool sound - reducing insulation (which reduces the transfer of sound to approximately - 45db) and there are some creative options available including a living roof that will further reduce sound pollution.

How effective is the security?

All windows and doors include 28mm sealed units with low - e glass. All doors have multi -locking mechanisms. We prefer to use high quality aluminium windows and doors supplied and fitted by accredited companies but are also happy working with uPVC or timber options.

‍

What if additional ground works are needed?

In the initial discussions we will advise what work should be done and how to do it. In some cases, the work will be included in the project scope and in others, typically where specialist skills are needed, we will help find the right people to speak to.

What base do I need for my new office?

Generally, we use either large, galvanised, ground screws typically driven 1m into the ground or small concrete pads set at exact intervals to support your floor joists. We are also able to build straight onto existing patios or concrete slabs. We recommended the plan allows a 50 - 100cm open gap around the sides of your building, and any fencing or shrubs, to allow for maintenance access.

‍

Do I need planning permission?

The rules for garden buildings are captured under the terms of ‘permitted development’ which address topics such as height and scale. Most workspaces fall within planning rules, but Mybridity will work with you to identify where permissions would be needed. Here are two resources to guide you from the outset:

1. Government Planning Portal advice for outbuildings
2. Government advice on permitted development rights

Of course, each workspace project is different so, for peace of mind, we recommend you check with your local authority, especially if you are lucky enough to live in a National Park, a listed building or an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Can you remove old buildings and do other preparation work?

Yes, subject to scope and environmental considerations. We will discuss this as part of the project plan and agree the best approach.

‍

Where do you install bespoke garden offices?

Mybridity builds across Hampshire.
