New Office Designs – We are happy to see architects coming up with new designs for outdoor office spaces.  You can set up a meeting room in a green open space like this one. Instead of a typical office, you can come up with unique designs of tables and chairs given shapes of musical instruments or even like a coffee shop and garden using bright, variant colours. If space is an issue, you could simply bring tiny potted plants to your desk or at the window sill. These plants work as brilliant air purifiers and greens bring in a good vibe to the room.

Take Your Laptop Outdoors – If you can manage and head out, once or twice in a week just take your laptop and setup office on the grass. With easy access to portable data, you could head out just about anywhere with your mobile workstation. It could be in a neighborhood garden, at a homestay or literally anywhere in the outdoors.
