Project Highlight: An Architect’s Custom Home Office

As an architect and designer, there is a high demand for technology (tons of screens!) but also a space to lay out large drawings to review, sketch, hand render etc. Additionally I needed a space I could comfortably meet with clients and other professionals. I also needed TONS of storage! Take a look at the highlights of the process and how we, in partnership with Susquehanna Craftsmen, achieved the finished look!

Another project complete!  We completely transformed this space into a beautiful home office…and I’m not just saying that because it’s mine!

I searched high and low for inspiration online and just couldn’t find another space that quite achieved what I needed the space to do.  As an architect and designer, there is a high demand for technology (tons of screens!) but also a space to lay out large drawings to review, sketch, hand render etc.  Additionally I needed a space I could comfortably meet with clients and other professionals.  I also needed TONS of storage!

Take a look at the video below and the highlights of the process and how we, in partnership with Susquehanna Craftsmen, achieved the finished look!

Oh, what a transformation!  I wanted a space that not only functioned well but also reflected who I was as a person.  Touches of femininity were key, and the ability to cleanly store and display my architectural books, records and items I’ve picked up while traveling.  I also wanted this space to have a timeless feel, giving me the flexibility to change style slightly with things like the paint color, rug, or displays on the shelves.

What do you think?

Be sure to let me know and ask me any questions you would like!  I’m happy to share!

Oh… and of course you all would like to know that the office has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by the fur-residents here!
