In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, we’ve given a spin on our Where We Work feature.
With so many forced to work from home and the likelihood that our reliance on the office is likely to change post-pandemic, we will be catching up with a different industry figure each week to talk through their own out-of-office arrangements.
First up is applied futurist, Tom Cheesewright.
1. Where in the house do you work?
My workshop/lab – the front third of the cellars under our house that the previous owner had conveniently boarded out. It was a sort of wine cellar back then but I’ve painted the walls and ceilings white and added lots of lights to brighten it up.
2. Paint a picture for us of the view from your window
I’m halfway underground so I can’t see a lot! The front of my old Alfa, neighbourhood cats peering in, the occasional frog, and the legs of the postie as he comes to drop off parcels. That will usually see me bounding up the stairs to collect it, in case it’s anything exciting for me.
You can see the tops of some trees and a sliver of sky, but if I need greenery I’m better off turning round to look at the little hydroponics setup where I grow salad leaves.
