That’s it, I’ve had enough, I hate my office space. I hate how normal it is, how boring, how everyday.
I’ve put on the old, thinking cap and I am going to work out something different to the usual commercial property space, or serviced office. I’m going radical.
I’m thinking of something like a tree house. Great views, open spaces, no parking problems and good for blue sky thinking.
If you can live in a trailer, as many Americans do, then you can easily work in one. Trailers are frequently used as an office on construction sites the world over, and can be set up in an instant when necessary, such as in a disaster zone.
Companies in Baltimore, USA, lease and sell office trailers, and can build one to order within 6 weeks. Granted, they’re not the most glamorous places to work (compared to a solid mahogany yacht office anyway), but they serve an important purpose.
When your office is tiny and cramped, it can feel as if you’re working inside a cardboard box. Few people would actively seek out this type of work environment, but Paul Coudamy of the ad agency, Beast, decided to build his entire office out of 4cm thick cardboard. This was to save money and of course, to look cool in the process.
Although a cardboard office can easily be damaged (no spilt cups of tea here please!), it is surprisingly comfortable, light and flexible enough to allow for frequent modifications of the office space.
From offices with green and pleasant views, to one with a brilliant white and altogether unpleasant vista, have you ever thought of putting your office in the toilet? Before you dismiss this idea as madness, first consider its advantages: the toilet office is very easy to clean, and toilet breaks can become a thing of the past.
Of course, it has its disadvantages too. It’s hardly an inspiring atmosphere in which to work, and if you live with others, there can be frequent (and often odorous) disruptions.
Well, after all is said and done, I’ll probably stick to my own serviced office. It’s comfortable, warm and close to home.
