Live/Work Lofts: Making Them Work-From-Home Ready

Live/Work Lofts offer work from home function in their open floor plans

During the pandemic of virus hysteria, and likely well afterward, many people will work from home. This adds to the value and the true brilliance of the Live – Work Loft. Putting the work into live-work will take some thoughtful planning. Here’s what you need to do so that your home workspace will support your work — and won’t wreck your body — over the long term. The space itself needn’t suffer. When work does return to an office or studio away from your home, that space can be recouped as regular living space somewhere down the road.

Many people have set up makeshift home offices that won’t work well in the long term. In addition to having the right equipment, the physical setup — the ergonomics of the workspace — is critical, especially around avoiding repetitive strain injuries that a bad setup can cause.

This tendency is clear that the work part of your loft will revert to live space is most pronounced in new construction condominiums or “lifestyle lofts.” Because the space is intended to be a flexible type, it is fair to say that work will occur in a live-work unit at some time, but that work activity may not always be present.
