Haven
  • A Haven is optimised for one person, but may accommodate as many as three people in some instances.

  • An appropriate vista or view encourages contemplation and inspiration.

  • Boundary enables focus.

  • When required, tools and technology are easily accommodated.

  • A shared Haven must be easily locatable in the landscape.

 

A Haven is a small shelter where focused work can be done without distraction, or, alternatively, a place to unwind.

It can be an enclosed room, such as a private office, or a semi-sheltered or screened-in space out in the open. Depending on its intended use, the setting may offer a work surface and adjustable seating, or take on a more relaxed feel. It may also easily accommodate the use of personal technology and other tools. A shared Haven must be easily locatable in the landscape.
