Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Ootbox' Allows Professionals to Rent a Movable Outdoor Office Space

— April 14, 2022 — Eco
'Ootbox' is a startup founded in 2020 by Robbie Friedman who had the idea of giving individuals a means to have a private working space. While the idea was not born from the pandemic, the development of the project was accelerated by it. Now, the company is live and customers are permitted to rent Ootboxes.

The Ootbox is a small, portable office space made out of a cut-up shipping container. The Ootbox has insulated walls, window space, a built-in heater, and the means to run electric power into it, whether through a line or a generator. Professionals can rent an Ootbox to be placed in their backyard, their driveway, or any other outdoor space where they feel a secluded home office is required.

Customers can rent an Ootbox at prices that begin at $1,000 per month. However, it is important to note that there is a four-month minimum rental period for one Ootbox.

Trend Themes
1. Outdoor Office Spaces - There is an opportunity to innovate in the development of outdoor office spaces to cater to the growing demand for secluded workspaces brought about by the pandemic.
2. Portable Workstations - Developing a line of portable workstations would be a disruptive innovation opportunity as it would give professionals the mobility to work from different locations without compromising their productivity.
3. Rentable Office Solutions - Rentable office solutions offer a cost-effective and flexible way for professionals to have a private workspace without having to invest in building a new office.
Industry Implications
1. Shipping Container Industry - The shipping container industry could capitalize on the rise of portable workstations by offering customizable containers for use as offices.
2. Real Estate Industry - The real estate industry could benefit from offering pre-existing outdoor office spaces as an added feature to properties for rent or sale.
3. Technology Industry - The technology industry could take advantage of the need for electricity in outdoor workspaces by developing portable solar-powered generators or other sources of off-grid power.
