This week's entry in the Friday Finery slot is this remarkable garden office build by Commonbond Architects to be used by their own staff. With an internal floor area of 28m2, it consists of two interconnecting rooms with a long table for working, and a snug. There's also a lavatory and storage area.
What makes it particularly interesting is that it's made from hempcrete as a test for using this environmentally-friendly breathable building material which also has splendid insulation properties. Moreover, as regular readers know, the Shedworking staff really love an underground build and this one is sunk one metre into the ground in order to make the flowerbeds align with the desktop which makes for a fine view.
It's been shortlisted for the Architects Journal Small Projects 2024 award so you can vote for it here.
