Because of the Corona-virus, many of you are no longer able to work from the office. At home, it’s just not possible for everyone to create an effective workplace. But we all still need to work: what now?
Since the beginning of the Corona crisis, several hotels have been renting out rooms during the day as workplaces: this was already thought up earlier by Hans Meyer of Zoku. The Zoku concept combines working and temporary living in a compact, functional space. MrFix has seriously considered Zoku as a workplace instead of our office. We were impressed by the Sleek hotel rooms that the guest can transform from dormitory to workplace with just a few movements.
If this solution does not have your preference then there are other options. Think whether you can work from a tiny house! The tiny house-movement began in the US in 2002 and has become more popular in the recent years because of the energy and cost savings. But you can not only live minimalistic, but also work minimalistic in a garden shed, barn or caravan.
With simple ‘tiny house adjustments’ you can make great use of such a small space to make it effective and comfortable. A few practical examples:
– Use multifunctional furniture, e.g. a folding wall table that you can use for both eating and working.
– Hang that wall table at the right height to work while standing: this saves the space (and costs) of a chair and is healthier than sitting!
– Hide your workplace (e.g. that wall table and shelves) behind doors or a curtain.
– Think vertically, starting with: can you create a workplace in an attic (insulation) or cellar (lighting)?
– IKEA has been offering a range of multifunctional furniture for years. The handyman from MrFix assembles all types of IKEA furniture for you.
But it can also be completely different idea! Do you have a piece of furniture in mind that you can’t find anywhere because of the dimensions? Or did you came up with a multifunctional piece of furniture yourself? Then ask our furniture specialists for design and create your unique piece of furniture. The specialist will advise and assist you in designing and making. A little bit from yourself and a little bit from the handyman!
