Maybe it?s our constant quest for visual inspiration and new ideas, or perhaps our fascination for how people live their lives and how wildly that varies from border to border, and the impact that has on our physical environments.Either way, in the age of Instagram and unavoidable envy at the seemingly constant stream of images of laptops by the beach, cocktail in hand my wife and business partner Bonnie Robin, and I were keen to try this thing called digital nomadism for ourselves.So in 2017, we packed into bags what we could of our 3 year old residential Architecture practice, Field Office Architecture, Airbnb?d our Melbourne home, and hit the road for 3 months as we travelled throughout Bali, Malaysia, mainland Indonesia and Singapore. Working out of cafes, coworking spaces, airports and yes, the occasional beach side lounge chair, we managed to run the practice (almost) as we would back home, however, not without its challenges.
