Clients’ Need: A reserved yet central space in their home, where husband and wife could have a shared office space to conduct their multiple business ventures, including:

• In-person meetings of up to 4 people;
• Full remote work accessibility for both people;
• Ability to keep a pulse on their home and children while working.

Constraints: 

• Limited renovation budget (exclusive to sheetrock part of unfinished storage area in basement);
• Since this space is central to their home and in the basement, there is no natural light/windows;
• Function valued over design (plumbing not moved, finishes unchanged);
• Use existing office furniture (tables, chairs) and shopping finishing pieces from their own home.
