Object of Desire: A Sustainable, Stylish Garden Room

If you’re looking to build a gardening shed, home office, music studio, lady lair, man cave, or any other standalone small structure for your personal pursuit of choice, and sustainability is important to you (and in these dire times, it should be to everyone), we’ve found a company that specializes in constructing outbuildings that marry modern style with planet friendliness. UK-based workroom‘s tasteful offerings even come with a green roof and sheep’s wool insulation.
