Hanging Walkway Connects Two Offices In Design By Polish Architects
The isolation from nature, sunlight and fresh air that many of us experience in offices can make working in them depressing and tiring. Zalewski Architecture, a Polish architecture firm, has created a quirky concept that aims to solve all of this – a narrow, winding outdoor walkway that connects offices, allowing workers to go for a walk on its green, grassy surface.
The design is suspended over a courtyard, meaning that it is supported on all sides. The narrow walkway creates a fun, winding grassy path but also serves another purpose – at only 80cm (31in), it minimizes the amount of sunlight that the walkway blocks from the courtyard below. The reflective underside also helps blur the walkway’s lines for viewers looking up at it from below.
The concept may be difficult to implement due to building permits, but office workers around the world probably appreciate the thought!

I think it's VERY cool! But I am terrified of the mere thought of being out there, myself!

Very interesting. You'd have to be gutsy... I'd like to say I would, but... I think you'd have to be there to see if you'd dare.

Being of half Polish decent, I think this is awesome! Too many Polish jokes in my neighbourhood growing up...

A diferença do desafio esta em optar, a certeza do desafio coloca a segurança em jogo se viajamos de avião então uma passarela é viável.

Sorry. Got to be the d**k. Its useless, unefficient and pointless. Thank your local postmodernist for that shizzle.

That is just so awesome! I would sit on the grassy pathway and do all my office work there!

Very, very cool, but I couldn't use it because I'd freak out, fall to my knees and cry like a baby.

For smokers, it cuts down on the time it takes to get out of the office block as most buildings nowadays are smoke free zones. Nice idea.

Good idea, but don't even dare take me there lol! Just add the green and yield the door behind me shut!

Makes sense that it is Polish, the office is right next door to the other. Might have been more logical to add an inside door. But NOOOOooo!

Have you even read the article? It's a concept and connecting these two offices was not the main point.
