Office villa

An office villa is a former or adapted residential property repurposed for office, practice, or business use. It maintains the architectural character and scale of a residential building while serving a commercial function.

This property type appeals to entrepreneurs and professionals seeking a more intimate, flexible workspace compared to conventional office buildings. Individual rooms function as office spaces, meeting areas, or consultation rooms depending on needs. Office villas are typically located in quiet residential neighbourhoods or at the fringes of business parks.

A zoning change and environmental permit are required to legally shift use from residential to commercial. Parking provision, garden access, and entrance arrangements often have spatial or regulatory constraints.
