Backyard Micro-Building Offices

The Lighthouse Office Offers a Cozy, Dedicated Space for Work

— October 9, 2018 — Art & Design
The Lighthouse Office has been designed by architects Kagan Taylor and Justin Rice of Knowhow Shop as an office space in their backyard to offer dedicated space for working on and showcasing their craft.

The compact micro structure is made with a series of prefabricated panels that have been placed onto industrial casters sourced from industrial dumpsters to make it easily moved around. The right angle-free door enters into a creative interior space that is bathed in light during the day thanks to a custom-made skylight and an expansive window on the front.

The Lighthouse Office speaks to the increasing need for creative solutions for work spaces as the amount of available area to build large structures in urban areas continues to dwindle.
Trend Themes
1. Micro-offices - The trend towards micro-offices that are compact, mobile and can be built with prefabricated panels and repurposed materials to make them easily moved around represents an opportunity for the tiny house and modular construction industries to expand their offerings.
2. Creative Interior Spaces - The trend towards creating creative, inspiring interior workspaces that embrace natural light, custom-made skylights and expansive windows represents an opportunity for architects and designers to offer unique and innovative solutions for both commercial and residential clients.
3. Sustainable Repurposing - The trend towards repurposing industrial casters sourced from industrial dumpsters and using other sustainable materials to make office buildings more eco-friendly represents an opportunity for the green building and circular economy industries to provide cost-effective and environmentally responsible construction solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Tiny House Industry - The growing demand for small, mobile micro-offices built with prefabricated panels and repurposed materials represents an opportunity for the tiny house industry to expand its offerings and continue to innovate in the modular construction space.
2. Architecture and Design Industry - The need for creative, inspiring interior workspaces that embrace natural light and customizable features represents an opportunity for architects and designers to offer unique and innovative solutions that meet the demands of modern work environments.
3. Green Building Industry - The trend towards repurposing materials and building structures that are eco-friendly and sustainable represents an opportunity for the green building industry to offer cost-effective and environmentally conscious construction solutions that are in line with current consumer trends.
