Inhaling healthy and pure air is beneficial to your health. We’re all aware of it; it’s an unassailable fact. Despite this, most of our time that should be spent outdoors is compromised due to our activities and routines. The healthy time is devoted to offices with poor ventilation. Also, all thanks to Covid for ruining our quality outdoor times by forcing us to stay inside.
Regarding this matter, many of us tend to install systems that purify the air. This helps in a good system of ventilation and is a great choice. Above all, many companies realize how important it is to inhale fresh and healthy air. Also, they know the important aspects of a good environment. So they are trying to move towards an outdoor working space.
Designing a place that is outdoor may appear to be an insurmountable task. There are many factors such as weather and atmosphere to be considered.
The Advantages of Fresh Air in the Workplace
Studies reflect a variety of health benefits associated with fresh air inhalation and sun exposure.
Benefits include mood elevation, memory enhancement, reduction of stress, and improved concentration.
Indoor offices promote a stale and filthy breathing practice and may lead to headaches, cough, and discomfort. Wouldn’t it be better to improve the performance of employees by providing them with the best space and a healthy environment?
Layouts for outdoor offices
You have persuaded your customer to choose an outdoor workstation for their employees. So, what now? You must create a functional layout.
As a matter of fact, a large number of people cannot be accommodated in the outdoor. However, enough furniture must be available for a large number of people.
Long tables suffice in most cases. You can also include a few small tables for people who are used to working alone with concentration.
The best outdoor furniture materials and fabrics
When constructing an outdoor office environment, use robust furniture components that can tolerate weather fluctuations.
Here is a list of some of the best outdoor materials and fabrics:
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Hardwood
- Synthetic resin
- Plastic
- Acrylic fabric
- Polyester
- Polyurethane foam
Outdoor office requirements
Designing an outdoor office presents its own set of issues. Because employees will most likely simply bring their laptops, here are some things to think about for a good outdoor office area design.
- Extenders for wireless networks
- There are numerous GFCI outlets.
- Umbrellas
- Canopies
- Awning
- Pergola
- Heat lamps (for colder climates)
Space for a hybrid office
You can recommend a hybrid office space if there isn’t enough outside space to work with or if your client isn’t delighted with the concept of having an open-air workstation for their staff. A floor plan creator can help you in this regard.
Instead of normal windows, consider installing lengthy glass doors – or doors that open in the garage. These can be left open, providing ease on the inside while still providing healthy outdoor aspects. It can also be linked to your window or balcony, allowing more employees to work with joy.
If your client is unable to implement any of the mentioned options for their employees, you can always bring the outside in.
