If your space is beautifully designed it should include all the other needs

sometimes it can aesthetically pleasing but not ergonomically effective so definitely including all of the above

Somewhere quiet and calm with minimal distraction, either from a cluttered environment or people coming and going.

Having a private space as well as a comfortable desk setup is always preferable for me.

Closed off and quiet space, no clutter and a large space or the illusion of not being stuck in a cupboard or a niche in the wall. Also hidden cords and cables, cant stand the visual mess of cords.

Haha -- I had a mobile home that I use to tow my race car to meetings , but after 18 months of pointing out to the NZ authorities that they are idiots , I've officially de-registered it and re-registered it as a mobile office !

A 6 berth mobile home needs 6 certified seat belts , for example . A 6 berth caravan can be towed by a 2 seater ute though , and in fact it is 'illegal' to add more seats to a ute .

A 10 seater van can be used to tow a 2 berth , or 6 berth , caravan .

But a 6 berth mobile home has to have 6 certified seats and belts . You cannot even legally take 1 or 4 seats out , and put in say bunk beds and fold up seats , and only have a driver and 1 passenger !

Here's where it gets weird though -- a mobile office only needs 1 certified seatbelt for each person onboard when it is moving . So you can have 1 seat , or 1 certified seat and a 56 seater theatre , or office wheelie chairs ( as long as you don't have people in them when on the road ) . Hell , an office can have a kitchen , a shower , a toilet , a bedroom or two , basically whatever you want !

There's even things like a Mobile Home cannot be legally parked overnight ( 'freedom camping' ) in some streets or parking areas , but a mobile office can !

So to me , working remotely will now take on a whole new meaning haha -- great views , beers and food in the fridge , fuel tanks topped up , take my shower and TV and a few changes of clothes , maybe even the laptop and tablet !

Its own heating and cooling. If I'm working from a home office for example I'll often be the only person in the house, so I'd only need to adjust the temperature in that one space.

Can the issue of heating and cooling not be achieved with a heater or fan?

Depends. A fan can only get you so far when you've had a run of scorching hot days, and if you work with a lot of paper (like I do) it can blow those around. Also depending on the fan and heater you use, they can take up space. In my last two home studies I've longed for a wall-mounted split system!

We have a study that looks out at the side colourbond fence & neighbours aircon and a big dining table in family area that faces north, flooded with light & a magnificent 5m Manchurian pear tree - guess where I work from home & can’t bring myself to move?!
