You'll probably stick more to office hours and you're less distracted from other stuff you have to do at your house. For example, I don't like to work in a messy environment. Sometimes (because lack of time) my place gets messy and I first need to clean up before I can develop a new creative idea. With cleaning personnel the space would always be tidy.

Ze hebben geen collega's. Iemand heeft ooit voorgesteld een bureaugebouw te openen voor freelance journalisten met bijvoorbeeld een gezamelijke bibliotheek. Het zou hen ook de mogelijkheid bieden onderwerpen samen te bespreken en erover van gedachten te wisselen. Maar dat was waarschijnlijk vooraleer de Résidence Palace door journalisten werd ingenomen.
