Don’t you wish your office cubicle was like this? A nice wooden desk and a comfortable chair in a peaceful, fresh garden, just a few steps away from your kitchen and bedroom. I can imagine working there, sipping some lemonade on a perfect spring day, going to the big chair by the fountain to read something or have a cat nap from time to time.
This garden office belongs to freelance journalist Susie Wall, who also has “a gorgeous, calm office space indoors to work on her various assignments, but, living in Vancouver, she wanted to stretch her office outdoors”.
So she got her wish thanks to a Canadian program called Take It Outside and designer Kelly Deck. The fountain is a perfect touch, as I can’t think of anything more soothing than the sound of water in calm day (although I would pass on the buddha).
Here’s a shot of the before. [HGTV]
I sit here at my desk at 8:25am having just come in from -5 degree temperatures. I’ll take my ‘cubicle’ over this one.
Summer – practical, Winter – insanity.
Would be viable in somewhere like Florida, yes
In the UK, even a hot day is only about 16 degrees!
Vancouver gets damn cold for a portion of the year (about 11 months!) so this is one of those ‘looks pretty but is silly’ ideas unless you’re in the Canaries.
Its working outside with a laptop or iPad that is the hardest thing to solve.
I have this pop-up tent for my laptop screen, but its still not ideal.
