Black Olive Construction has a wealth of experience building luxury bespoke garden offices and garden rooms to suit your lifestyle perfectly. Whether you want to create a professional space for working from home, a playroom, yoga studio or summer house, we design and build unique and beautifully finished garden buildings in Brighton, Hove and Sussex that you and your family will love.
Remote working, home working, hybrid working – we are seeing a change in working patterns that affect millions of people. Having a dedicated office space that doesn’t interfere with your home life, while still being at home, offers the best of both worlds.
What are the benefits of having a garden office?
Contemporary garden buildings are becoming an increasingly popular option for property owners in Brighton & Hove looking for dedicated home working space.
✓ More space in the house
Moving your WFH space into a garden office enables you to work from home in peace and quiet and without distraction, while clearing any work-related clutter out of the house, leaves more space for your home life.
✓ Healthy separation between home and work
The daily ‘commute’ may only be a few steps to your garden office, but physically stepping out of the house to go to work allows you to mentally transition to and from work, arriving at your dedicated garden office ready to start the day.
✓ Better creativity and productivity
Being surrounded by nature is a natural mood booster and stress buster, calms the senses, aids creativity and concentration and generates positive emotions. Make sure you site the building in a tranquil corner of the garden, with plenty of natural daylight coming in.
✓ Added property value
A well-constructed garden room can add up to 5% to the value of your home. Compared to a full building extension, having a garden office built is much less invasive and significantly cheaper, delivering an attractive return on your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a garden office?
Most garden buildings fall within your ‘permitted development rights’, meaning no planning permission is needed provided that certain criteria are met. We would always advise that you check with your local planning authority and obtain written confirmation. Planning restrictions are in place for properties in Conservation Areas, listed buildings and leasehold garden flats. At Black Olive Construction, we will happily guide you through the process of obtaining consents, where necessary.
What are my options for a bespoke garden room?
At Black Olive Construction, we have many years’ professional experience constructing bespoke timber-framed garden buildings to any specified square or rectangular size, and incorporating any specific ideas you may have to suit your particular tastes and requirements. Simply get in touch with our team to share your vision and we will work together to plan and design your ideal garden room, then turn your visions into reality.
What about heating and electrics?
Our garden offices are fully fitted out with lighting and electrical power outlets to suit your needs. They are built to be thermally efficient with insulated floors, walls and roof, and double-glazed windows and doors. For the most part of the year, you may not need any extra heating, but oil-filled radiators, wall-mounted electric panel heaters or even a woodburning stove are all options that can be installed.
What other kinds of property renovations do you carry out?
Black Olive Construction is a specialist design, manage and build company for all types of residential property including period homes, modern flats and houses and new builds. From loft conversions to kitchen and bathroom redesigns, building extensions and complete makeovers, we offer the full range of services to deliver bespoke projects to property clients in Brighton, Hove, East Sussex and West Sussex.
