Working from home just got a promotion, with Blackdown’s new super stylish workspace shepherd hut. All work and no play doesn’t apply here.
Life, it feels, is very much back to full pace, but with more of us working from home than ever before, the need for additional space has never been greater. While some find an escape in curling up with a good book and a cuppa, or pulling on wellies and heading for the hills, four-legged friend in tow; for others, it’s a physical place to retreat to that’s needed. Especially for those that set up office at the kitchen table – how many times has work been halted when it’s time to clear the table for dinner. And for the crafters out there, packing up can be a mammoth task, not only interrupting productivity, but creativity, too.
Somerset-based Blackdown Shepherd Huts knows this only too well, having helped many an artist and hobbyist to create their ideal studio space with its fully-built Retreat huts and self-build Tasker huts. A garden shepherd hut gives a degree of separation between workplace and home space, meaning you can stop the distractions of life getting in the way of work – and, more importantly, the distractions of work getting in the way of life. Inspired to create a full tech solution, Blackdown created its new workspace hut.
The Tech Spec
Creating a meridian between home and work, stepping into your workspace has never felt so good. A sit-stand desk faces the full-width window, providing great light for photographers, or somewhere to simply take advantage of views. To the rear, there’s purpose built shelving and file storage, as well as a coffee machine, hot water tap and drawer fridge to keep snacks and lunch fresh. The built-in seating area makes an informal meeting space, or just somewhere comfy to enjoy your mid-morning cuppa. Meanwhile, the workspace is also fully alarmed and the lights and music can be controlled by phone. This is creative thinking at its finest, and possibly the one workspace that you’ll be reluctant to leave… and the commute is pretty good, too.
