OFFICE RENAISSANCE: OUTDOOR LIVING REDEFINES THE HOME OFFICE LOVE FOR OUTDOOR LIVING LEADS TO HOME OFFICE RENAISSANCE


The traditional work environment is evolving. Ideas surrounding the ideal workspace are changing, coming full-circle to return to their outdoor roots, yet in a far different way than our farming ancestors. Leaving claustrophobic cubbies and 4-walled monotony in the rearview, from large corporations to telecommuting contractors, office spaces are opening the door to new possibilities. Home and business office spaces nationwide are moving outdoors, capitalizing on the productivity and energy-boosting nature of open, green views… 

Fly Free Worker Bee


Catering to those tired of whiling the hours away in the cramped corner of a noisy house, outdoor office spaces are aimed at trying to better accommodate the ‘average’ worker: Those chained to the desk indoors all hours of the day. Outfitted with comfy chairs and tables, electrical outlets, Wi-Fi signal boosters, and reliable shelter, mindfully designed outdoor office spaces are luring workers outdoors, from big business execs to millennial techies, home-based entrepreneurs, telecommuters and artists, offering unique opportunities for creativity and collaboration in open, yet protected, green spaces.  

The Perfect Diversion


Outdoor locales make for the perfect diversion for those inundated with meetings, making even the most dry or time-consuming production more enjoyable. Properly designed, the right space can allow for remote, web-cam meetings, helping you save on commute time, or provide an area isolated from your home space to invite clients over for a pleasant round-table discussion.  

Not Your Corner Coffee Shop


Rather than the busy, boisterous, distraction-ridden outdoor space your neighborhood’s Wi-Fi enabled coffee or bistro, private outdoor office spaces offer all of the benefits, but none of the bothers of local, food-encrusted hot spots. Home and on-site outdoor office spaces, tucked away in the greenery of your landscape, provide an ideal oasis, blossoming with potential for productivity and creativity.  

More than a Fair Weather Friend


With the right shelter, an outdoor office is more than a fair weather accessory. With a flexible, durable Arcadia adjustable aluminum pergola, you can make the most of any weather situation. Open up to reveal sunny blue skies, quickly close louvers to seal-out rain, or dial-in just the right amount of shade no matter the sun’s angle with 170-degrees of rotational flexibility. Adjust quickly and easily via remote control, or install the latest in rain and wind-sensing technology for weather-responsive control. Integrate motorized screens for improved shading and pest protection, enjoying comfort in the shade of your pergola, which with fan additions, offers an environment that feels up to 30-degrees cooler in the heat of the summer Austin sun.
