I used to work in Ambergis (now Telus) whose main office is located in Discovery Suites fronting Podium. Back in 2003, the garden a.k.a. smoking area was open to public. I have only been to 2 call centers and so far, the other offices I have been to aren't located in any garden buildings unlike Telus'. My current company now leases a land together with the Ortigas Group of companies. We are now situated in Tiendesitas in Frontera Verde, Pasig. Our building is a 5-storey building. The first floor has some tenants like banks, convenience store and coffee shops. We have a roof deck that we consider as our “lung center” where smoker would gather for a short cigarette break. Unlike with Ambergris, our roof deck is just a plain roof deck. No gardens what so ever.
It would have been nicer to work in one of those garden buildings. much more a garden office. I tried searching the net and here is what I found out about garden offices. Why garden offices? Because I am thinking that 3 years from now, I am going to own a business that I can call “mine”
'Office' implies a single use for these multi-functional buildings, but the warm, clean environment makes an ideal games room, hobby room, craft workshop or up-market summerhouse!
Working from home, however, is becoming increasingly popular for several reasons:
Reduced travel time - avoid the rush hour queues by walking out into the back garden!
The rise of computer based business - you no longer need to go into the office daily if you can work from home in a warm, clean environment
Property costs - if you no longer need to go into an office, then you can live where you choose, not necessarily where the office is - this can provide massive financial savings and quality of life gains.
Personal security - more and more people are choosing not to work in major cities due to the risks of crime and terrorism.
Travel costs - the cost of travel both in terms of time and money, plus the cost of parking if you drive to work, make a home office even more affordable.
New business - if you are starting up a new business what better way to do it than working from home. No long term leases on inappropriate premises to worry about.
Release space in your house - empty the spare bedroom of all that clutter and keep your house to live in and your office to work in!
