Want something a bit different for your home office? Live and work in better homes and gardens with a Green Office Archipod! While the cost and inconvenience of commuting to work everyday is increasing, the advances in computer and networking technology are making the viability of working from home a realistic alternative to travelling to an office everyday – one of the way commuters can offset their carbon footprint. Like the idea of commuting to your office every day by just walking to the end of your garden?…
Idea for Better Homes and Gardens : Green Office Archipod
Constructed predominantly from timber (the world’s most replenishable construction material, where all the timber comes from either FSC registered suppliers, or is reused from surplus manufacturing), and is insulated to a standard exceeding that of current Building Regulations (heat loss is minimised by the use of high standards of insulation and air tightness), this unique design features a pleasing roof dome that lets in natural light to conserve the energy required for artificial lighting.
The design and size is optimised to minimise wastage in production. Heating is by way of an electric panel radiator, which is the most efficient way to heat a small, independent and highly insulated space such as a garden office. One advantage of working in a separate garden office is that it may be unnecessary to heat the main house during the day. A good news is, the company is currently reviewing using air source heat pumps for heating and cooling!
Why Green Office Archipod is Good for Better Homes and Gardens
There is more to working from home than just convenience and lifestyle improvements, there can be huge benefits to working in an Archipod garden office, including:
* Saving on travel time and costs.
* Reducing road congestion.
* Separating ‘Work’ time from ‘Family/Home’ time.
* Reduced heating bills (you will only need to heat the pod whilst you work, rather than a whole house).
* Very quiet space – outside noise is minimised.
* Minimal bureaucracy – unlikely to need Planning Permission or Building Control Approval.
Now working from home can be easier than you think when you have better homes and gardens with a Green Office Archipod!
