Garden Office

If you live in a small private house and can not allocate a separate room by room, garden office, such as presented in this article - this is just what you need. Garden Office - is a relatively compact structure, designed by Jordan Wrigley (Jordan Ridgley) and designed for installation outside the home, for example, in the backyard or garden.



Novelty is a fairly strong, but at the same time, light design, based on a pair of small columns. Strength Garden Office also will add three-layer panels, based on metal rails and two layers of plywood. The outer covering of this office will be resistant to various environmental factors, including the bright sun or rain. In order to effectively use natural light, two of the three walls of the structure will be almost completely transparent. The structure of the doorway in the Garden Office promotes ventilation. In turn, inside the buildings can be seen laminate flooring, plywood shelves, and ergonomic workplace.



Of course, the use of Garden Office is limited to regions with warm climates. However, it is possible to imagine a version of such a facility with more cold weather.

Each figure for enhanced dynamics and the aesthetic appearance of the rendered own a certain posture, and only the "hands" that hold the wires, are invariably raised up at all.
