It’s not exactly a new trend this, arguably common choice, to work from home. As such, one would suppose that seeing an opportunity, residential products, services, design and even houses would have started to adapt to the ever increasing needs of a swelling body of potential customers who wish to work from home. These people who are working in an Internet Business through online jobs have a need for an setting that corresponds with their way of life and their work needs too.

It’s true, there are a number of products on the market that are made for those people who Work From Home but it’s fair to say that the offer is scrappy and it takes a level of skill in construction, IT and ergonomics to generate a suitable domestic setting from which one could run an internet business. Most people only manage to offer a small amount of the facilities required to be comfortable and productive.

The brief for a domestic office set up should be basically similar to that of a normal office or corporate workspace. A resident staff member needs power, data and a place to sit and a surface to work on as a bare minimum. Add into that the requirement for social interaction, ad hoc meetings, team work and areas for focussed working and the brief starts to look very similar.

The easy and least productive resolution to meeting these needs is to provide a desk, seat, laptop, telephone and data connection. On the face of it these pieces of kit will provide the necessary vehicle in (or on, or through) which people can deliver their output. The real question is how does one provide for the rest of the criteria and how do we use advances in construction and IT to support the requirements for people who work in Online Jobs?

Firstly, let’s tackle the workplace itself. Does it need to be a desk? In a standard domestic situation would a desk be a suitable piece of furniture ? Technology gives us laptops and telephone headsets and the capacity to work anywhere on any fittings. Add to that wireless printing and a web cam and really the office, as was, is now built completely around the person as opposed to a location.

Of course, in these days of corporate responsibility, the idea of using a laptop for long periods of time would give Personnel and Insurance teams a problem, but the truth is that what we have through technology is a new concept and what we would expect to see is new furniture designs to solve the ergonomic issues.

Secondly, there is the subject of privacy, sound and environmental comfort. A voice conference in a home full of playing children is not conducive to productive work. Will we begin to see new houses provided with remote space for working? Possibly provided as an extension, a loft or even a stand alone unit in the garden.

Whatever the ideas the market is there already and the construction industry has yet to react to it.
