Practice Management

Maybe with a niche practice comes the need for a niche workspace.  Whether working at home or not far from home, you do not need a lot of private space, but you need some. But, it needs to be something that you can own, that is not overly expensive to construct or maintain, and which does not add to your ongoing monthly overhead greatly. Of course, it does not hurt if it renewable and green.

In this regard, Dwell provides photos by Chris Cooper of a San Antonio, Texas 8'x40' container space designed by Jim Poteet.  This rendition is a small living space, including a small living space, bathroom, sink and counter.  But, the concept can just as easily be a small office or studio workplace. It is sandwiched by a foundation of recycled telephone poles and roof of lush greenery.  It has bamboo flooring and wallcovering, an electric composting toilet, a mini-split heating and cooling system, and large floor-to-ceiling windows and doors to allow natural light. Simply an impressive use of the uses of a shipping container.
