Italian designers Alberto Mattiello and Davide Anzalone have developed a new alternative for working spaces with a new concept called Eitherland: Relax design’s first purposeful outdoor workplace ecosystem, designed to drive value and serve as a long-term investment in people’s wellbeing, satisfaction and productivity.

Relax design’s Eitherland was recently awarded with a 2020 Good Design® Award from The Chicago Athenaeum.

Eitherland strives to provide outdoor workplaces: it’s an immersive ecosystem with work stations designed to support inspiration, sociality, co-creation and productivity.

In the age of digital transformation and after the Pandemic, employees will no longer be required to come to work; they will choose to do so.

Changing work habits and the growing popularity of coworking spaces had residential developers and building owners take notice.

There is a growing number of high-end residential projects that are adding workspaces as their latest and most sought-after “amenity.”

This is a logical next step in this evolution of flexible offices.

Eitherland brings the health benefits of being in nature with the psychological principles behind teamwork, focus and creativity.

It transforms residential, corporate and public outdoor spaces into immersive work environments.

Eitherland helps companies and cities engage and retain top talent by creating immersive “outdoor work destinations” that drive devotion and attract a passionate community.

Eitherland’s elegant, immersive and technologically-advanced workspaces not only boost perceived value of the building and help to attract younger, affluent residents; they have also been designed with the idea of generating stable ancillary income.

Thanks to Eitherland’s App and digital signage solutions, each structure can be used as a venue for corporate events and business meetings or can be transformed into a coworking space.

Businesses now require multi-disciplinary teams to address complex problems in a global context, often working remotely.

Traditional office spaces are simply not flexible enough to evolve with the technology and emerging expectations of their employees.

Eitherland helps to bridge this gap by creating the “third space” that promotes both focused work and collaboration, while connecting employees to natural light and fresh air throughout the day.

It’s so powerful, many companies offer it as a work benefit.

What’s more, Eitherland structures are complementary to any office space and help to leverage underused outdoor real estate.

Modular construction ensures that the outdoor offices can be installed quickly, seamlessly and without disturbing the existing building, or more importantly, its occupants.

Eitherland’s elegant, modular design is also flexible, attractive, leading-edge spaces offer the same, if not greater, level of comfort and technology guests expect when working indoors, plus the health benefits of spending more time in nature.

Designed around workplace activities and services, Eitherland Outdoor Work. Lounges range from yoga rooms to private Outdoor Meeting Spaces.

Eitherland structures are equipped with the latest technologies to offer the same seamless work experience of the best indoor coworking spaces.

These are not only potential outdoor work hubs, but also venues that can be rented out for corporate and sponsored events, as well as for academic use.

This, in turn, contributes to the wellness of residents, tourism growth and the local and state community.
