Microsoft is known for maintaining a fun workplace, from its free candy to its awesome art collection. Its latest perk: treehouses. 。
The company announced on its blog Friday that it has created three treetop meeting spaces at its corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington. 。
The treehouses were built by Pete Nelson, host of the Animal Planet series 。 Treehouse Masters 。. They were constructed on the campus this summer, prompting a wave of curiosity and rumors from Microsoft employees, according to the company.。
These aren't children's playhouses: they're built for work. Though intended to connect employees with nature, the treehouses are, of course, equipped with Wi-Fi and outlets for charging. One of them also features an indoor cafeteria. 。
But while not as isolated as they seem, the spaces are certainly cute. They feature rocking chairs and fireplaces, and benches that wouldn't be out of place on a home patio. 。
Let's just hope they're waterproof, and that nobody's too distracted by the birds. 。
