CONCEPT
A retreat within your workweek
​
Break the routine between home & office and work one day per week in a relaxed and nature friendly environment
Look forward to that day as to the best day of your week
​
A work place brings you a real social life with a few other professionals, coming to work there for a day, it brings you calm, quiet, comfort and opportunity to reconnect with nature without breaking your work pace, all you break is the pattern, the never-ending loop. It will help enhancing your focus and concentration
BUT YOU MISS THIS
At work, you often miss quiet and isolated space to think productively, open spaces are crowded, sometimes loud and the constant come & go from others is a visual source of distraction, a lack of stillness which is deeply needed in any industry and in any type of work you do.
Even when socialising with your work-colleagues, the conversation will more than often be about a work-related thing or worse, a gossip about this or that.
SO YOU TRIED THAT TOO, RIGHT?
BUT REALITY FELT MORE LIKE THIS...
When you work from home, you most always end up juggling a bunch of home-task within your work day, justifying it by cutting the commute time and lunch break so you try and put this preciously saved time at best use. You do your laundry, cut the grass, get your deliveries scheduled for that day or the plumber to repair this tap. All those micro-interruption result in a stress, a different form of stress than the one you experience in your office but a stress nevertheless.
WAIT.... NOW, YOU MISS THIS

After having tried it all over a decade, from corporate cubicles offices, to private office rooms, to open space and to lay-back environment, thrown on a “Fatboy” with a laptop, home office; there was always something missing to find the perfect balance and ideal work place.
It, of course varies depending on the size of the office and the industry you are in.
​
Travel budgets have been considerably cut all around the world with the arrival of reliable technology permitting live video calls from several places around the world, instant data sharing, etc.
But some travels are still necessary, just a lot less than before.
Going to work in the same office every day has become obsolete and unnecessary too nowadays with Internet, laptops and smart phone.
The previous century has brought us private cars and affordable commercial airplanes, considerably expending our world.
This century, albeit just started, has already brought us mobility.
Even if your work requires a desk installation with several screens, even if your work involves sensitive data that cannot be shared via a non private broadband, even if your work requires a confidential space…
In all of those jobs, you will be spending at least a day or more each week not doing any of the above, preparing slides for a presentation, reading an updated law regulation applying to your activity, organising your schedule for the next few days, etc.
Break it once a week!
Go and work in the nature, forget about being stuck in traffic while going to work and coming home, checking e-mails on your cellphone in the meanwhile, see the same streets, buildings, faces that you see everyday.
Book a cabin on your app and go to a “work retreat”. It will be maximum 10 of you, all age, background, industry and nobody from your Company.
The cabin is just like the one you rent every summer on family holiday, it has nothing but the essential for your need, a fast working internet, an excellent coffee machine, equipped kitchen, a bathroom... That’s it!
It has several rooms allowing private conf-calls… But you can also take it outside, surrounded by the trees, looking at the sea…
​
Why spend this day in the office? Or at home? And why take a day off if you want to take a 1 hour walk in the forest?
Why not simply adapt your work place to your needs?
Tell me, and I do mean it, tell me the reasons why one can’t go and work at least once a day in a remote area. In a place that inspires relaxation, nature, a getaway weekend… nothing like the routine at the office or at home.
