What is a garden studio?
Everything you need to know
Garden studios have become an increasingly popular modular buildings to deploy in the garden, helping many people succeed with working from home, acting as a personalised home gym, a space for creating visionary art pieces and more. A garden studio is incredibly versatile, and each owner can design it how they want and for whatever use.
We construct your OGEL garden studio before we deliver it to you. This means on-site building is minimal and you can spend more time enjoying it. We’ve engineered our buildings to be 88% lighter than brick and they’re also better insulated that a double-skinned brick wall.
You’ll be in proximity to nature and utilising natural light that enables a tranquil experience, all in the privacy of your personalised, eco-friendly garden studio.
Our garden studio design and layout
OGEL lets you be the designer of your garden studio – from the size, exterior patterns and roof type to the number of windows and doors. There are a few things you’ll need to consider when designing your garden studio to truly get the most out of it. Firstly, measure your available garden space to understand how big of a studio OGEL can install. We recommend finding a position that allows as much natural light to hit your studio during different times of the day. OGEL can provide solutions to create a dynamic environment for you to use how you want, and thanks to our studios possessing great insulation, you’ll be able to use it all year round.

Interior features and functionality
- Depending on what you’re using your garden studio for will determine the interior layout and functionality. Home offices will need storage space for files, a home gym may require more of an open floored layout whereas a music studio will require enough room to house instruments and recording equipment. OGEL can install various flush-mounted plug sockets to power your electronic devices, complete your garden studio with WIFI and utilise your space with versatile, ergonomic furniture.
- We will help guide you through the whole process and recommend the ideal features to fit your needs. Our team will safely and efficiently install the necessary electrical wiring, lighting and more to ensure your studio is up and running, ready for you to use as soon as possible.
- Our insulated garden studios help you make use of them no matter the temperature. However, if you’re someone who wants to add a little more comfort, make use of standard convection radiators or underfloor heating. Adding an air conditioning unit for clean, cool air is a great solution to obtain climate control in your garden studio.
- OGEL not only builds sustainable garden studios tailored to your desires and needs but also loves to incorporate all kinds of other sustainable features where possible. We can integrate solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems and more environmentally friendly solutions into your design.

What Our Customers Say
“I chose an OGEL pod because I liked the look of them from the pictures I saw online (although there weren’t many published at that time) and the versatility. I liked being able to choose my own dimensions and vinyl covering design. I also liked that the pod can be taken with me if I move house, and the fact that the OGEL pod doesn’t require any maintenance was a big selling point for me. I also liked the green credentials – the pods are constructed with recycled plastic.”

Fortunately, one of the best advantages of owning a garden studio is that it will help to increase your property’s value – so if you ever decide that you need to move home – making the initial investment is more than worth it.
As our products are constructed from recycled plastic, rather than wood or brick, very little maintenance is needed. The plastic won’t rot and is a durable material able to withstand all types of weather conditions. Our studios will be provided with proper ventilation to eliminate the risk of moisture buildup, which can lead to mould, as well as being installed with a sloped roof ensuring rainwater doesn’t cause any damage.
While we do all we can to ensure a hassle-free experience with our garden studios, much like any type of property, it is important for you to regularly inspect the exterior and interior for any faults. Also, frequent cleaning and treatment of fittings, including the windows, will help to ensure a long-lasting and visually appealing studio which will help add value to your garden studio, too.
