All 'Hoxton Square in downtown London, the park is transformed into a space of coworking thanks to a temporary installation that combines the working dimension with the natural one.
Is called TREExOFFICE and is a structure designed by the London studio Tate Harmer in collaboration with artists Natalie Jeremijenko and Shuster + Moseley, engineer Tim Lucas Price and Myers.
It is an incredible opportunity to think one new concept of office, changing the way we work in the city. The design highlights the need to improve the use of urban green spaces through new and fun ways, says the study Tate Harmer.
The structure that revolves around a tree trunk it can be rented and shared between people who need a place to carry out their work but also by associations that need a temporary seat.
In the space of 25mq there is electricity, wi-fi connection and eight stations for co-workers. The supporting structure was made with pressed paper and translucent polycarbonate panels that can be opened. Thanks to the use of these materials, a completely natural light penetrates inside.
According to the designers, the space was designed to be dismantled without destroying the surrounding environment. The idea is part of the Park Hack Project, an initiative promoted by the city of London to encourage outdoor activities and encourage citizens to use green spaces.
Proceeds from the rental of workstations are reinvested in the project itself and used for the creation of sharing areas in the parks.
