Many people want an office pod in their backyard these days due to the WFH (work-from-home) trend. If your home is small, working at the dining table or in a bedroom is okay for a while but long-term you’ll need a home office that’s quiet (no kids or dogs!) and looks good in Zoom or Teams. You can have Scandi-style office pods (Scandi-style lining instead of plasterboard), Hamptons-style office pods (interior lining boards painted white), or classic (Gyprock painted any colour you like). Choose from more than 20 exterior Colorbond colours, add a deck and veranda, add modern timber-look detailing to look trendy in your backyard.
