Working from home

Working from home at Ashley Lofts

A studio loft is one open room of about 320 square feet, with wide windows at both ends and the whole of downtown outside the gate. Here is how a workday fits.

One room, worked well

The home is a single open space with the kitchen along one wall and the sleeping area at the far end. A desk sits by one of the wide end windows, in the daylight, with the plank floor and the high container ceiling giving the room more air than the square footage suggests.

Internet

AT&T and Xfinity both serve the Cathedral District, with fiber at many downtown addresses. Residents set up service directly with the provider.

Downtown as the break room

The upside of a small home downtown is that the city is your common area. The Main Library is about a third of a mile, coffee and lunch are a few blocks south toward Bay Street, and James Weldon Johnson Park and the Riverwalk are a short walk when you need to step away from the screen. Homes at Ashley Lofts are studio lofts of about 320 square feet, built inside a single steel shipping container, each with a full-size washer and dryer, granite counters and a tiled walk-in shower. The availability page lists the current rent for every open home.
