“Tell me the characteristics of a share house that can be used as a working space!”
“What kind of equipment do I need to use as a working space?”
Many people may have questions like this.
Since it is now possible to work remotely, many people may want to live in a shared house and live a life that is conscious of connections with other people.
If you can use your share house as a working space, you can concentrate on work after seeing off your friends in the morning, and have fun conversations with your friends after work.
Even lonely remote locations can be fun.
From here, we will introduce the characteristics of a share house that can be used as a working space.
If you are thinking of moving to a shared house, please refer to this article.
Can a shared house be used as a working space?
Shared houses can be used as working spaces.
Shared houses these days are fully equipped with Wi-Fi, so as long as you have a work space, there is no problem.
You can work in your own room, but if you enjoy interacting with people, we recommend working in the living room.
If you work remotely from your room, you may feel too relaxed and not be able to get involved in your work.
However, if you live in the living room, there will be plenty of people watching, which will make you feel more at ease.
When working in the living room, be careful about your belongings and the volume.
Also, don't forget to be considerate of those around you, such as wearing headphones during a web conference, or going to your room if you want to use a camera.
Features of a share house that can be used as a working space
First, I would like to introduce three characteristics of a share house that can be used as a working space.
- big table
- Remote environment such as Wi-Fi and power supply
- Can be used 24 hours a day
Let's take a closer look.
big table
A shared house with a large table can be used as a working space.
Share houses where the purpose is to socialize often have a large table set up in the living room, and you can even bring in a display to work on.
However, since the living room is a place for residents to relax, avoid using it during the morning and evening hours when there are many people.
Additionally, the display feels oppressive and can be a nuisance to other residents.
Don't forget to be considerate, such as cleaning up immediately after work.
Remote environment such as Wi-Fi and power supply
A shared house with Wi-Fi and power outlets can be used as a working space.
I don't think there is a shared house where you can't use an outlet.
However, if the outlet and work space are far apart, charging may not be done properly and you may not be able to work comfortably.
Therefore, be sure to check the distance between the outlet and the work space when inspecting the premises.
Also, most share houses these days are equipped with Wi-Fi.
Therefore, it can be easily used as a working space.
Can be used 24 hours a day
A shared house with no restrictions on when you can use it would be perfect as a working space.
If you are an office worker, you may not be able to work overtime late at night, but freelancers and business owners have no restrictions on their working hours.
Therefore, being able to use it whenever you want is also an important point.
Please check at the time of your viewing to see if there are any restrictions on the time you can use the property, in addition to consideration for the tenants who will be living with you.
