1 Set up a comfortable workspace

One of the first things you need to do is to create a dedicated and ergonomic workspace at home. You might need a large desk, a comfortable chair, a good lighting system, and a reliable internet connection. You also need to organize your files, tools, and materials, and keep them accessible and tidy. Make sure you have enough space to draw, model, and review your designs, and that you can adjust your environment according to your needs and preferences.

As an architect and co-founder of my company working remotely due to temporary family circumstances, I find the following to have helped me stay productive and connected with the team: 1) Establish a designated office space with a door. It allows me to separate my family and work life as much as possible, & minimizes distractions. 2) Create an ergonomic workspace with a height adjustable desk and a standing pad to ensure comfort and promote good posture throughout the day. 3) Dedicate time to step away from the desk, for a short walk outside or an exercise session. They help refresh the mind & reduce stress. 4) Schedule Zoom catchup mtg with your team so both sides know what to expect in terms of workload and deadlines.

Communicate these hours to your clients or team members to manage expectations. Create a Dedicated Workspace: Designate a specific area in your home for work.

2 Establish a routine and boundaries

Working from home can blur the lines between your professional and personal life, so it's important to establish a clear and consistent routine and boundaries. Set a regular schedule for your work hours, breaks, and meetings, and stick to it as much as possible. Communicate your availability and expectations to your colleagues, clients, and family, and respect their time and space as well. Avoid distractions and interruptions, and use tools like calendars, timers, and do-not-disturb modes to help you focus and manage your time.

Morning Routine: Start your day with a morning ritual to set a positive tone. Dress comfortably but professionally to mentally prepare for work. Avoid jumping straight into work,take time for yourself before diving in. Boundaries Work-Life Balance: Clearly define when work ends and personal time begins. Avoid the temptation to work extra hours just because your workspace is at home.

3 Use the right tools and platforms

As a remote architect, you need to use the right tools and platforms to communicate, collaborate, and share your work with your team and clients. You might need to use video conferencing software, cloud storage services, project management apps, and design software that are compatible and secure. You also need to learn how to use them effectively and efficiently, and to troubleshoot any technical issues that might arise. Make sure you have backups of your work and data, and update your software and hardware regularly.

4 Stay connected and engaged

Working from home can make you feel isolated and disconnected from your peers and the industry. That's why you need to stay connected and engaged with your network and community. You can do this by participating in online meetings, webinars, workshops, and events, and by joining online forums, groups, and platforms related to architecture. You can also reach out to your mentors, colleagues, and friends, and ask for feedback, advice, or support. Don't forget to celebrate your achievements and milestones, and to appreciate the work of others.

Como arquitecta que trabaja mayoritariamente de manera remota, considero fundamental mantener una conexión con nuestra red y comunidad, para contrarrestar la sensación de aislamiento y desconexión. Además de las reuniones estrictamente necesarias, el participar de foros para estar al tanto de las últimas tendencias y compartir conocimientos con colegas nos permite solicitar retroalimentación, consejos y apoyo mutuo para enriquecer nuestra experiencia laboral y ayudarnos a superar desafíos. Celebrar nuestros logros y reconocer el trabajo de los demás en plataformas de colaboración, fortalece nuestros lazos profesionales y también contribuye a mantener un ambiente positivo y motivador en el trabajo remoto.

6 Balance work and life

Finally, working from home can also affect your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, so you need to balance your work and life. You can do this by taking care of your health, eating well, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep and rest. You can also practice mindfulness, meditation, or relaxation techniques, and seek professional help if you need it. Don't forget to enjoy your hobbies, interests, and passions, and to spend quality time with your family, friends, and pets. Remember that you are more than your work, and that you deserve happiness and fulfillment.
