IN today's workplace, lucky people are finding that earning money from home isn't a pipedream after all.
Greenspan Group manager John Chesterfield recently spoke with a Sydney father of two with another one on the way, trying to manage a work-from-home job in a house with no extra space.
"He found family life distracting to his work and his need for a quiet environment was a wrench in the works of family routine," Mr Chesterfield said.
"It was an unfair and difficult arrangement for everyone.
"Fortunately for him and his family, a Melwood cabana was the solution."
By moving the home office outside the house, the busy father was able to separate his work environment from family life, giving both the peace and freedom required to thrive.
As an added bonus, the family got back another bedroom for the baby on the way.
"Thanks to Melwood's well-designed flexible spaces, a family and its breadwinner can occupy the same property in peace and neither will suffer," Mr Chesterfield said.
"The cost is reasonable and because of the size, council approval is not required.
"For this particular family, the urban studio design was the perfect choice, but there are country cottage, seaside villa and garden sheds, too.
"All can be adapted for your particular need whether it's a home office, studio, spare room or game spot."
