WorkAway Outdoor Office Outdoor Office is an innovative outdoor workspace solution designed by Mathis Heller that revolutionizes the concept of public space furniture by creating a comfortable and functional outdoor office environment. This ergonomically designed cube-shaped structure, measuring 1200mm in depth, 2000mm in height, and 1700mm in width, accommodates one to two people and provides essential weather protection through its rotatable design feature. The structure, initially prototyped in plywood and later produced using sustainable foam with weather-resistant coating, represents a significant advancement in flexible workplace solutions. The design incorporates sophisticated acoustic properties that maintain conversation privacy within the cube while offering thermal comfort through its insulating materials, ensuring the seat and desk surfaces remain warm to the touch. The workspace's innovative rotating mechanism, supported by a metal frame with wheels, allows users to adjust their position to avoid direct sunlight or wind, demonstrating thoughtful consideration of environmental factors. Developed in response to the evolving nature of modern work patterns and recognized with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Street and City Furniture Design category, this design addresses the growing demand for flexible outdoor workspaces in various settings including business parks, campuses, and public transport nodes. The structure's exterior surfaces provide ample space for advertising or promotional content, adding commercial versatility to its functional design. The project, which took two years to develop, has been successfully implemented in notable locations such as the Utrecht Science Park, where it operates under the name 'Science Cubes', and has demonstrated its versatility by serving as an information hub during the 2015 Tour de France in Utrecht.
