Why build an outdoor break area?
Outdoor break areas are becoming increasingly popular. Once mainly reserved for smokers, since the Covid epidemic they’ve become popular with everyone. Being able to eat or relax, or even work outdoors in a comfortably furnished space allows you to get some fresh air during the day before returning to work, and provides a welcome breath of fresh air.
They also prevent smokers from congregating at the bottom of the building for lack of space. A break area provides real comfort, and at the same time limits passive smoking.
