Office Built-in Design

Hello! Looking for design assistance.


We have an empty room that we plan to use for an office. In lieu of office furniture we plan to have a carpenter install built-ins. The room is roughly 13' x 13', but the space available for cabinets or a work surface is constrained by windows on two sides and the clearance required for double doors that open into the room.



We settled on the following design which adds benches under the windows flanked by cabinets and a 6' work surface.



We are uncertain about the following and would appreciate any thoughts or general critique of the design:

  1. the transition between the desk surface and the adjacent small bench (upper right of the image above) - it seems unnatural, but a better option is not obvious since we don't want to encroach on the window
  2. the scope of the overall project - we're concerned we'll regret such an extensive semi-permanent change to the space


Renderings of the space from first-person perspective follow.





Thanks in advance for any help!
