This Home Office Will Make Work a Dream

 

As the pandemic drags on, many of us are continuing to struggle while working from home in less than ideal conditions. Whether it’s the lack of an actual desk, or the distractions of kids, pets or even the dishes you meant to do last night, it can be difficult to stay focused during your working hours.

Luckily, office space designer Autonomous has created the home office of your dreams — and they’ll deliver it right to your door.

Comfortingly titled the “Zen Work Pod,” this portable office space promises to create a calm, organized workspace free from distractions. Complete with a SmartDesk 2 – Home Office, a Kinn Chair and plenty of shelves, the Zen Work Pod is your office away from the office.

Floor-to-ceiling tempered glass walls, a high sloped ceiling and pre-installed lighting fixtures ensure that you’ll have plenty of breathing room and space for your creativity to flow. But the Zen Work Pod is more than just a temporary solution. Built with sustainable wood, strong aluminum and tempered glass, the pod can handle almost any weather, no matter where you choose to place it.

Not only will Autonomous deliver just about anywhere in the U.S., they’ll also install the Zen Work Pod for you at no extra charge. The pod’s lightweight and innovative design requires no in-ground fixtures, meaning it can be installed on just about any flat surface — including concrete, grass, gravel or soil.

This minimalistic paradise can also function as more than a simple office space. The surprisingly versatile design makes the pod perfect for everything from a personal yoga studio or music room to a backyard bar or reading room.

Normally retailing around $14,900, early-bird subscribers can purchase the pod for as little as $5,400 — practically a steal.

So if you’ve got the working-from-home blues and a backyard begging for a new addition, the Zen Work Pod could be your ticket to a more tranquil workspace.

Facebook continues Eastside expansion with 325 square-foot Bellevue lease

Facebook is continuing to add on to its presence in Bellevue, signing a deal to lease yet another building in the city’s 36-acre Spring District development.

The lease will span 325,000 square feet of office space in Block 6 of the Spring District complex, adding on to a 338,000 square-foot lease in Block 16, and 200,000 square feet in Block 24.

Block 16 will finish construction and open up in 2020, while Block 24 is scheduled for 2021. By 2023, Facebook will be completely moved into its Spring District buildings.

Business Insider estimates that in total, the tech giant will have room for 20,000 employees between Bellevue and Seattle. This makes the Seattle area Facebook’s second largest headquarters outside of its home base in Menlo Park, California.

According to Geekwire, Facebook has a combined 2.7 million square feet of office space in the Seattle area either planned, being constructed, or already occupied. That includes a pair of newly-constructed buildings in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood that opened in May and September respectively.

Facebook employs the third most tech employees of any company in the Seattle area, trailing only Amazon and Microsoft.

With light rail on the way to the Spring District as well, this all represents an infusion of commerce and transit for the Eastside, as it continues developing into major tech hub in the Puget Sound region.

Meanwhile, Amazon still plans to construct Bellevue’s largest office tower yet. The 43-story building will be dubbed “Bellevue 600,” located on the east half of the Bellevue Corporate Plaza. Amazon purchased the property in April for $650 million. Amazon has roughly seven spaces in Bellevue it either plans to move into or is already occupying.
