Undergoing construction with scheduled completion in this year, the project has achieved Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum score, the nation’s highest environmental certification.

Tetra Shed is inspired by the growing need to accommodate the desires of more and more people wanting to establish a home office.  The architects at Innovation Imperative designed this garden office as a challenge to the notion that a home office is simply a converted room in one’s house.  It is an alternative solution to the “cuboid offices” that have grown in popularity over the last few years. This concept and mock-up will be on display at Grand Designs Live London between May 5th and May 13th.
