If you’re trying to tempt your team back into the office, here’s a tip: give them something they actually want to come back for.

Outdoor breakout areas are a cracking way to do just that — creating space to pause, breathe, and take a proper break in the fresh air (when Yorkshire weather allows, of course).

☕ Whether it’s a quick coffee catch-up or a thinking session away from the desk, an outdoor breakout space can shift the vibe of your workplace from “must” to “want”.

Why Outdoor Space Matters

We’re spending more time indoors than ever — and it’s not doing us any favours. A well-designed outdoor area gives your team a place to reset, socialise and soak up some daylight between tasks.

It’s not just good for morale. It boosts productivity too. People come back from a break outside more focused and ready to crack on.

Plus, with hybrid working now the norm, making the office feel like a perk – not a punishment – is key. A well-thought-out outdoor breakout space shows you care about your people, not just the bottom line.

What Makes a Good Outdoor Breakout Area?

You don’t need a rooftop terrace or massive garden. Just a bit of smart planning and decent kit:

• Durable outdoor furniture (seating, tables, parasols)

• Shelter & shade – for sun and showers

• Power & Wi-Fi if it’s a spot to work

• Greenery to soften the space

• Acoustic panels or planters to buffer any noise

We can help you create a space that works for your team and your site – from concept to furniture supply and layout planning.
