Outdoor play · The Dozy Tree
Dozy Central
The pursuit of doing absolutely nothing, and doing it superbly.
Under the canopy of a couple of old trees in the orchard, WDR has set aside a shady spot for one of life’s most overlooked pleasures: the afternoon holiday nap, outdoors.
The Dozy Tree
Sleeping outside in the shade. WDR is bringing it back.
Somewhere along the way, the outdoor nap was completely overlooked. We have decided to take it personally.
Dozy Central sits in the orchard, under the canopy of the Dozy Tree and its neighbour. There is a hammock for the committed, a deep outdoor couch for the undecided, and a breeze that does most of the work.

- SeatingOne hammock and one outdoor couch. Both face the same direction: away from your inbox.

Dozy Central
Nobody has ever lost
a game of doing nothing.
Although several guests have been woken up and insisted they were just resting their eyes.
