Working from home for years needs more than a desk in the corner of the bedroom. We design home offices and studies in Seattle, Bellevue and Kirkland: a separate room, a corner of the living room, a converted guest room or a studio in the garden, with light that is kind to the eyes and the screen, quiet for calls and storage that puts the work out of sight in the evening.

In Residence 11 the study is lined with built-in wood cabinets around a long desk with drawers, with lit shelves and a lit niche above the work surface. In House for Cosmopolitan the desk stands by a floor-to-ceiling window with blinds, next to a sofa, with wall and table lamps for the evening.

Q&A

How much space does a home office need?

A desk with a chair needs about 2 by 2 meters (6 by 6 feet). A study with storage and a sofa needs a small room.

Can a home office share a room with a guest bedroom?

Yes. A sofa bed, a desk that closes and storage for the guests make it work for both.

What lighting is best for working at a screen?

Soft general light without glare, daylight from the side and a task lamp on the desk.

How do you make a home office quiet for calls?

Soft surfaces, acoustic panels, a sealed door and insulated walls.

Do you design built-in furniture for the study?

Yes. We draw cabinets, shelves and the desk for the maker, as in Residence 11.

Can you design an office in the garden?

Yes, as a small separate building on the lot.

  • Separate study - a room with a door for long days and confidential calls.
  • Workspace in a shared room - a desk in the living room or bedroom that closes away at night.
  • Office for two - two workplaces that do not disturb each other.
  • Library and executive study - shelves, a desk and a place to meet.
  • Garden studio - a small building in the yard, see ADU and DADU design.

Where the Desk Goes

The best place for a desk has daylight from the side, not behind the screen and not straight ahead. A view out of the window helps the eyes rest, a door helps you finish the day, and a desk that does not face the bed makes a shared room easier to live in.

Light for Screens

Soft general light without glare on the screen, a task lamp on the desk, warmer light for the evening and blinds or curtains for the low winter sun. As in Ascetic House, we build light into the architecture, into shelves, niches and ceilings, so the room stays calm.

Quiet for Calls

A rug, curtains, upholstered furniture and acoustic panels behind the screen keep the voice clear on calls. A solid door with seals and insulated walls keep the household out. We also design the background the camera sees: shelves, art and light instead of a bed or a hallway.

Storage and Cables

Built-in cabinets keep papers, the printer and equipment closed, so the room can become a guest room or a library in the evening. We plan sockets at desk height, a network cable, cable routes inside the desk and room for a second monitor.

How We Work

We start with how you work: hours, screens, calls, papers, one person or two. Then we plan the layout, show the concept in renderings, draw the built-in furniture and the lighting and help choose the chair and the desk. See furniture selection and whole-home interior design.
