The Garden Escape Helps Professionals Beat Rocketing Fuel Prices by Working from Home in Purpose Built Garden Rooms and Offices

September 25, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News

Aimed at professional people, the self employed, corporate businesses, remote workers and anyone else who wishes to work from home in a pleasant and ambient environment, The Garden Escape’s range of purpose-built garden rooms has recently been instrumental in setting standards in the garden office, home office and garden studio markets. The company is adept at creating another room away from the hustle and bustle of the house, where the working person is free from noise and distractions. It also offers bespoke architectural designs.

The ideal antidote to customers who are fed up with unreliable building companies who can take forever to complete a simple job, The Garden Escape manages every part of the project, including: foundations, appointing all electrical and telecommunication services, internal decoration, lighting, heating, insulation and – if required – security systems. Its rooms exceed building regulation standards and comprise premium components, such as western red cedar cladding, Iroko teak doors and windows, Pilkington 'K' glazing and custom built decking. The Garden Escape can also fit internal bathroom and kitchenette facilities to its rooms.

Top-selling garden room designs include: The Cube, which fits easily into most gardens and provides a brightly lit and relaxing retreat; and The Curve, which has an elegant curved design that balances space and light. The rooms all keep customers cool in summer and warm in winter.

The Garden Escape has recently featured on Channel 4’s ‘Richard & Judy’ and ‘Room for Improvement’, and in Grand Designs Magazine. It will also appear on upcoming episodes of ‘Property Ladder’ and Sarah Beeny’s new program, ‘Street Wise’. The company has seen a massive upturn in demand as a result of the favourable exposure.

Matthew Gill, commercial director of the Garden Escape, comments: “When the famous playwright Arthur Miller married Marilyn Monroe, he spent around four years building his own office/workroom at the end of the garden, brick by brick: a labour of love to fulfil such a dream. His idea is shared by many SoHo businesses and professional people today.”

“With fuel prices reaching almost £1/litre in some petrol stations, we’ve seen a record increase in sales for garden offices, as professionals are increasingly leaving the car on the drive and working from home. Why breathe in fuel emissions from thousands of vehicles when you can achieve maximum productivity in a luxurious, high-spec garden office, free from the stresses and expense of driving to a workplace? Demand for our services is starting to come from all over the UK, Ireland and even Europe and the USA.”
