Modern, sustainable and undisturbed small working environment with a view of the countryside

We have all experienced first-hand that working from home can be enriching for employees in many ways. There is no need to travel, you have more flexibility in your own time management and self-determined and independent work is encouraged.

However, the working environment and conditions are very different for each individual. For many, working within their own four walls therefore becomes a test of endurance, which means that working from home does not make it easier for everyone to balance their professional and private lives. There is often a higher risk of distraction, the boundaries between private and professional life become blurred, people suffer from a lack of space or the office equipment is not ergonomic.

To counteract this problem and to generate and test a working environment that takes our new working habits into account, we have launched the “Tiny Office House” project. The aim of this project is to supplement our “Living Lab” in Frankfurt with a modern and quiet workspace in the garden, combining the advantages of both working environments. One thing we can already say today: with the Tiny Office House, we have created a natural retreat that has a positive effect on people’s well-being, concentration, creativity and therefore also their health.

In addition, the 8 square meter Tiny Office House from W+P combines the following features under one roof:

• Modular design – in three sizes S, M and L
• Optional equipment with office space, kitchenette, recreation area
• Sustainable materials and self-sufficient energy supply
• C0² positive floor covering from Interface
• Modular equipment of Vepa

Now that construction has been completed, the test phase will begin, during which the small office will be put through its paces and experienced in a real working context. The findings will be used to further develop this innovative and sustainable working environment. We are also looking forward to sharing these in-depth insights with you and giving you an impression of this new way of working.
