This secluded cabin is part of a larger compound created for a family's private retreat in the San Juan's. This client wanted her own private space where she could spend rainy afternoons surrounded by nature to work on her writing.
This home office would come in as a close second if I had to choose from the offices in this Ideabook. The calm of this space can almost be felt through the photo. The large windows showcase a quiet view. The bookcases running up to the ceiling are filled with beautiful items and there is a built-in bench placed along the wall behind the desk. So whether sitting at the desk or lounging on the bench, I imagine this would be a perfect spot to collect your thoughts and be very productive.
A writer's hut — the most remote of the property's several structures, Hoedemaker says — is comfortable, bright and equipped with a work surface and built-in bookshelves. "It was designed to be a place to escape distraction," he says. "It hovers on the edge of a slope looking down into the forest floor, out into the canopy, and up into the sky."
long narrow office on side of house with one window in the front and wall of windows on the side - brick exposed wall on house side, door in from living room and from family room
What do you think about the book shelf in the office. I think it might be too cluttered in my office but I'd have to see it. The bench with the shelf underneath is nice but I don't know if it would be practical. What do you think?
writer's studio. I'd love to build a boat house with a one room studio apartment above. This isn't a boat house, but it is an idea of the studio. My guess is that we won't do this here because we aren't going to stay here long enough to justify it unless the return was more than the cost, and in this economy that is not likely.
This looks like a very usable interior! Very small, but not cluttery. Everything is within reach. It would be a lovely retreat for a writer, an architect or anyone who deals in ideas and paper
