Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said the newly named interim speaker, GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building.
She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building.
An email sent from McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, “Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.”
Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.

Still in the house just not the speaker. Apparently it's a tradition that former speakers are allowed to have larger offices out of respect. But a lot of Republicans just love to hate Nancy Pelosi.
Is there an official office for house speaker?
That's a great question and I did a little cursory research but I couldn't find anything.
Probably not, since it's a role for a representative, not a separate job.
But that doesn't mean that there isn't an unofficial office.
Technically it doesn't have to be a representative, but it always has been to my knowledge.
