Philip Pullman and working in a shed
Rodcorp has a nice little snippet about how the author Philip Pullman goes about his day, and the role working in a shed (we here in the states might call it a "detached home office") has in his daily routine. I post it here in the hopes that Alex over at Shedworking sees it and links to it (or at least reads it) over at Rodcorp and, if he finds it useful, posts it over there for his audience (and why not just message Alex? Well, blog reading is a nice passive leisure activity, and I don't want to bother him with some sort of seemingly purposeful info in case he's either already read the Pullman piece, or doesn't really find it relevant).
In any case, it is of interest to me because we are planning on moving the office out of the basement of the current location, and into a purpose-built structure out back. Lots of advantages, but Pullman raises the issue of it "...being down at the end of the garden, especially on rainy days." Well, no real issue for me, in Colorado, where a graphic designer looks forward to about 300 days of sunshine a year. But if I were about 1 percent lazier, I could see the point, even here.
How about you? Do you work (even part of the time) in a detached home office? What are the benefits? The issues?Labels: architecture, work, writing
