The smaller the space, the less energy required to heat it.
This tent of which you speak makes good sense from an energy standpoint, but I'd hate to be confined to a tiny space all day. If burning a fuel, the space will need to be ventilated.
The computer desk is becoming standard apparatus for the digital age. Back in college, in order to gain space, it was common to build a bed loft, putting the desk underneath. It would not take much to enclose the space under the bed-just hang blankets. A 4' high space would be about right for a chair, 30" for the desk, it will fit easily in standard construction. As an added bonus, the bed space is reduced and raised, offering a warmer nights sleep.
A small electric space heater would roast you in such a small space after a few minutes. A light bulb and the computer might be all you need. I would, of course, need a coffee machine in there.
