You need an insulated shed. Make sure the floor and roof are well insulated. If doing the whole thing yourself use Kingspan insulation. High performance for the depth. Make sure you have a vapour barrier on the walls and roof. Put is an much insulation as you can. With too little insulation sheds can be baking in summer and freezing in winter.
There are many companies selling insulated sheds. Also make sure the shed is within permitted development for your plot.
