Even before the coronavirus, the increasing number of self -employedHome office facilitiesskyrocket. Since the beginning of the corona crisis, rooms have been converted into home offices in many houses. So that it does not get tight in the house, more and more working people are deciding to move their workplace into the countryside. A young writer in Melbourne has set up her garden house as a home office. We fascinated both the concept and the end result!
Garden house as a home office: planted facade
The young writer wanted oneHome-Officewhere she could give her imagination wild. That's why she chose a quiet corner in her garden, where she can marvel at her green oasis and at the same time is not disturbed by the street noise and noise in the house. So that the modern house fits harmoniously into the landscape, it was completely planted with ivy. The plant loosens the strict geometric forms of the writing studio and gives the facade a natural touch. At the same time, it protects the garden house from the strong sun rays and serves as a natural thermal insulation layer. Since ivy absorbs the carbon dioxide, the green facade improves the air quality. The climbing plant also offers additional habitat for bumblebees and numerous nesting opportunities for birds.
So that the garden house can serve as a home office, it should primarily be designed functionally. That is why it has two entrance doors and is not only accessible from the garden, but also by a back door from the street. In this way, meetings with managers or contact persons can also be organized there. In order to optimize the incidence of light, the architects decided to produce all the glass doors. Sunlight also comes through the roof window and the generous glazing at the front of the home office. So the young writer's writing space is always well lit.
In the evening, the successful combination of direct and indirect light creates a cozy ambience in the home office. An LED cover stripe scattered gently in the room, two table lamps shed light on the writing space. Garden lighting was even installed on the facade, so that you can marvel at the outdoor area even after sunset. The way to the garden house was also illuminated.
When the garden house serves as a home office: space-saving interior design
From the outside, the garden house impresses with a sustainable design, inside it turns out to be a modern beauty. In order for the interior to be more generous, the walls, the floor and the ceiling were covered with wood. Several bookshelves offer sufficient storage space for office documents, books and decorative elements. The walls are sparingly decorated with pictures and photos. Otherwise the interior is kept simple. The real highlight indoors is clearly the large window in front of the desk. He leaves the distant view into the garden.
The garden house has no air conditioning. The two opposite doors can be opened so that the air can circulate freely in the room. In this way, resources for power supply are saved. In addition, there is a possibility toPhotovoltaic system on the roofto assemble. In this way, sufficient electricity can be generated for the lighting and heating in winter. Sustainable, functional and very stylish: The modern garden house has become a fundamental element of garden design. It offers additional living space and can be converted into a creative hobby room or a home office if necessary.
