To not overpower nor obstruct existing structures, much of the new office addition was set 2/3 into the ground, making windows high and narrow. To increase natural light, designers added a 12’x12’ pyramid-shaped skylight and incorporated full-power, horizontal shades across the framed ceiling. The shades open and close to help regulate the desert suns' light and heat. The insets in the coffered ceiling are suede. To buffer sound, the office walls are upholstered. The pyramid skylight adds welcome light and visual interest on both the interior and exterior of the freestanding office. Brett Drury Architectural Photography

The view out the glass doors and windows makes you feel like you are living in a tree house. The desk is a harbor for the homeowners laptop and a the perfect place to do office work. The homeowners can access a shallow deck behind the upholstered plaid chairs and take advantage of the fresh mountain air by leaving the glass doors open. Scott Moore Photography

Bedroom - traditional bedroom idea in Miami

The glass tiles of the backsplash are stacked in a straight pattern to deviate from the look of the typical brick stacking. Sandblasted glass cabinet fronts add personality to the scheme. A Bonisolli Photography

Example of a classic home office design in Atlanta

The nickel sink has a hammered texture with a Kohler Karbon articulating sink faucet. It can extend fully to fill large pots, lower into the sink for food preparation and cleanup or fold out of the way when it is not in use. There is a joystick lever on the right for adjusting water temperature. Daniel Newcomb Photography
