“We are proud to be renovating Home Farm back to its former glory for a more flexible way of working in Hertsmere, set in idyllic natural surroundings.”
– Tom Croft, Thomas Croft Architects
Flexible workspace
We want to help individuals and small businesses adapt to a post-Covid working world. With a planned opening of mid-2024, our desks, offices and meeting spaces will be available on a membership and tenancy basis, offering flexibility when it is most needed and an outlet to those who do their best work in creative, bustling, fresh-air settings.
From a single desk to larger offices of up to 2,000-3,000 sqft, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
While workshop/maker space isn’t included in the scheme, we may be able to accommodate you elsewhere on the estate so do still get in touch.
Room, inside & out
The adjoining historic park and garden of Aldenham House has inspired our design. The farm’s original layout will be reinstated, the old cattle and Dutch barns and other outbuildings reimagined by Thomas Croft Architects into high-spec, hyper-connected, well-ventilated offices that look out on the flora and fauna of Home Farm.
We believe in the power of nature to boost mental resilience and wellbeing, and residents will have access to reviving walks and views. Our proposal includes landscaping designed by the internationally renowned Tom Stuart-Smith, offering a range of contemplative outdoor spaces and “meeting rooms”, as well as a community garden where members can tend to their own vegetables.
Multi-functional space
There are plans for a flexible space that can be used for a wide range of uses ranging from meeting space, dining venue, to yoga studio.
It will be available for use by all those working here as well as one of the spaces in which a series of intimate networking events are hosted. In addition, there will be opportunities for its hire by the local community.
“Practical efforts should focus on creating a long-term habit of being out in, and connecting with nature and an everyday habit of noticing nature.”
— Prof. Miles Richardson, Nature Connectedness Research (May 2021)
