Springwise: For everyone who'd like to escape office politics and the daily commute, iscape manufactures and sells purpose-built garden offices. Both are multi-use outdoor living spaces, but the Miana was specifically designed to be used as an office.
Every garden office comes complete with integral electrics and includes sockets and lighting. The buildings are designed to fall within UK permitted development rights, so in most cases buyers don't need planning permission.
Design conscious lawn commuters might be more interested in the company's bespoke service, which creates garden offices to a customer's exact wishes, with all stages of the project undertaken and co-ordinated in-house.

There is indeed a big business surrounding garden offices/'sheds' in the UK - I produce a bimonthly pdf lifestyle magazine for shedworkers (and other homeworkers) and also you might be interested in my blog which covers the same subject at http://shedworking.blogspot.com

Hi,
As Alex mentions, there is a real explosion of interest in working from garden offices in the UK. When we first started in business http://www.hut-garden-offices.co.uk around 5 years ago there were about 8 companies in our sector, now there are around 45!
Many of our own clients have taken to working from home either in a self-employed capacity or with encouragement from their employers.
The introduction of 2mb+ broadband in the UK has opened out new options for working from home, something we think is likely to continue alongside advancing technology to create a real/virtual work enviroment at home.
The majority of our clients have realised that they are now free to complete almost all the tasks they would in a traditional office but from a garden office at home.
We have designed garden offices for IT consultants, music and radio producers, architects and academics, musicians, remixers, television editors and web designers. It's a real cross section of careers and age groups which seems to suggest that this is a movement across all business and not just one sector.
Strolling down the garden to work beats tackling the mosh pit that is the public transport system in the UK!
