The most unexpected home office you've ever seen

The challenge of working from home is rarely the work.

It is switching gears.

One moment you're enjoying the comfort of home. The next, you're expected to focus, think clearly, make decisions and be productive.

And when there is no dedicated space for that transition, work slowly starts spilling into the rest of life.

This home had exactly that challenge.

The homeowners wanted work and rest to remain separate. But there wasn't a dedicated room available for a home office.

What they did have was an open balcony outside the first-floor living area.

Most people would have seen it as an outdoor extension.

We saw the opportunity for something more valuable.

A place to focus.

We enclosed the balcony and transformed it into a dedicated study.

The goal was to create a space to step into a work mindset.
