Everyone needs a little time out - it's just human nature. Whether it's away from the kids, nagging parents or even your spouse, a few minutes of downtime can be the ultimate refresher for even the most perfect relationships. This notion doesn't apply only to men, ladies need their relaxation time too! For some people, the great outdoors is too far away to even think about. So where is the next option that we can immediately retreat to when our hour of need calls? Where else than into our own backyards, into the sanctuary and respite of a tiny space that we can call our own. Let's tour through four of the best examples of man caves that will leave you speechless!
1. Stunning materials

The first project on view is the "Shoffice". If you're wondering what that means, it's a hybrid of the words shed and office, and is really a feat of something amazing. The curved structure is light filled and spacious. It is sculptural in its nature, made from a mix of oak timber and glass.

The shape is really something special; you feel as though you are being scooped up by the force of such an object. Inside, the view is just as special. The warmth from the timber and pleasant flow of light means this is the perfect space to feel creative and inspired.

Once closed, the highly reflective glass surface bounces the reflection of the facing house and garden, allowing the structure to simply disappear once the doors are closed. This is a wonderful way to shut out prying neighbours, allowing you to relax in the privacy of your own backyard.
3. Soak away your troubles

Now, it is possible for you separate your guests from the main house, a problem which many homeowners have when throwing parties or entertaining. This is also, of course, the ultimate area for you to relax and have many hours to yourself. Whether it's to experiment in the kitchen or to relax in the spa, you can be sure to emerge refreshed and renewed.
