If you’re among the more than 22 million American adults working from home, you may have occasionally thought that you’re due for an office upgrade. If so, then it’s time to explore the benefits of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) office.
There are plenty of creative ways to use an ADU, including transforming it into your own private workspace. Doing so offers tons of benefits for remote workers such as yourself, including the following:
Increased Productivity
Working from home has no shortage of perks. It offers flexibility to attend to your personal obligations and eliminates your daily commute to the office. Be that as it may, working inside your home can also be distracting.
An ADU office will help you maintain your work-life balance by physically separating your professional and personal spaces. That, in turn, will lead to the following:
- Fewer distractions from family members or household noise
- Increased focus and a better routine
- Better organization and a place to keep all of your work equipment
Though it’ll technically reintroduce a “commute,” heading over to your ADU office will only consist of walking a few steps away from your home, and you’ll enjoy all of the organization and focus-related benefits associated with working in a traditional office setting.
Privacy and Security
When all of your important work documents and equipment are inside your home, there’s a good chance that something will eventually get moved or damaged. That can be a particularly recurring concern if you have pets or young children who are prone to exploring your indoor workspace.
An ADU office will provide you with the privacy needed to focus on your work while also ensuring that important equipment and documents are safe. You can keep everything organized and in its proper place. When you finish working for the day, simply lock up your ADU office and head back into your primary residence to enjoy time with your family.
Flexibility for Long-Term Use
Some remote workers are hesitant to invest in ADU home offices for an obvious reason: They don’t know whether they will be working remotely forever. The good news is that something like an outdoor office pod ADU is a flexible space that can adapt to your needs over time.
If there comes a time when you no longer need to use the accessory dwelling unit as an office, you can convert it into something else, such as the following:
- Guest room
- Home gym
- Creative studio
You can even rent it out to generate some extra income. And if you decide to sell your home in the future, the ADU will add value to the property, potentially helping attract buyers who need a place for live-in relatives to stay.
