Hello Wood, a pioneer of the Hungarian cabin movement, released the WorkStation, the newest member of its cabin family, for people who want to break away without actually leaving their own garden. The eight-square-meter luxury wooden house can be set up in a back garden, and its function is limited only by imagination. The insulated and soundproof cabin can serve as a workstation, a meeting room, a children's playroom, or a perfect hiding place for reading, relaxing, and exercising; it can even function as a guest sleeping capsule. The playful shape is inspired by nature, and the WorkStation brings occupants closer to the outside world. The cozy interior is lined with wood panels, and huge windows let natural light flood in. A wooden platform extends from the cabin. In the concept design, the main goal was to create a highly functional space: the quality of space is given not by size but by complexity. The interior is insulated so it easily adapts to seasonal changes; in winter occupants enjoy the comfort of a private room, while in summer hidden air conditioning built into a bench prevents overheating. Power outlets ensure laptops and phones can be charged and Wi-Fi established. Finally, the main goal is to meet present needs while achieving a more sustainable future: thanks to its low energy consumption and environmental focus, building a small house is more eco-friendly than building with traditional technologies and non-renewable materials. The cabin is located in Budapest, Hungary, completed in 2021, with a gross floor area of 10 square meters and an interior area of 8 square meters.
