Hi there, How about taking advantage of that window space. Build a book shelf unit right to the ceiling and have the desk built into the unit. You have the window as a spectacular feature, with the desk coming out of the book shelf build. Also, as I see you like white, I'd do it in white and possibly paint or paper behind the build. It would be a spectacular space. Have a great night. Warmest regards. Jane

The outdoor office: Over the years we have been asked to design within our garden rooms the addition of an outdoor office. It is becoming more and more common for the self-employed and company employees to work from home as appose to that mandatory 1 + hour drive to the office. Rather than locking up a room that really isn’t a practical office space within your homes current structure, think about your garden and the ability of designing an office within the folds of the garden. If you consider all the elements associated with a garden office there is absolutely no reason for not creating this practical area. I mention ‘considering the elements’ and note a few obvious and not so obvious aspects below to be thrown into the design mix to see if they are of relevance or not. For the obvious elements think about : o power supply and the safety of o internet access o natural light and air o workable spaces for desks/worktops, meeting facilities (formal or informal), o usable kitchen facilities o sanatory facilities for both sexes o storage of materials For the items that may not seemingly be thought as obvious: o ease of persons coming for meetings etc and thinking about the pathway needed to get to you outside of walking through your home o doorbell / intercom facilities o parking o waiting area o ability of having an office pet as always a great ice breaker and helping soften those serious moments o house plants to soften the inside and outside Always consider if there are any conditions placed upon this form of structure and by contacting your local council, they will be able to point you in the right direction. Me personally the beauty of such a working space is the ability to grab a coffee and wonder out of the office into the abutting garden rooms just to let meu think laterally about a project I may be working on. If this is something you would like to investigate further do not hesitate to contact myself at chris@scenicbluedesign.com.auor give me a call on my direct number 0405 663222 www.scenicbluedesign.com.au

@Kath i used osmo natural hardwax oil, i'll prob sand this back at some point as it was too white for my liking but ill need to do that if i ever end up back in the actual office as it takes a few days to dry. I'll look into that oil. @Litsa Adamou great job on the desk i like how you made it shorter and turned it right angle, if i had the tools i wanted to do that and then put the chest of draws under it. Here is current state, excuse the mess i was half way through setting this up before i had to rush setting everything up half finished so i could work from home 8-10 hours a day. IT stull will be relocated to a central location once i tear it all down. I'm waiting on 2 monitors + office chair i went the ikea Alefjall. https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/alefjaell-office-chair-grann-golden-brown-20419983/ I'll actually post my own thread as my bits an pieces are due soon and i need to work out layout.

Hi Alex, Thank you! The office chairs are not from VOF, they were a very specific request by the client, Herman Miller designed chair. I have seen very similar office chair versions also!
