Office workers in east London could soon be hanging out among the trees now Hackney Council is providing temporary office space for up to eight people in the canopy of a tree in Hoxton Square from June.
The council said the booking fees would help maintain the park and other open spaces, and community groups could book the space free of charge at weekends. Between six and eight people will be able to hold meetings or work on laptops in the weather-proof structure, which will be built around the tree.
The tree office has been designed by Australian-American artist Natalie Jeremijenko along with ‘collaborative artists’ Shuster and Moseley, and architect firms Tate Harmer and Gensler.
