This Unconventional Workplace Provides a Wonderful View of Nature
Christopher Magsambol — September 3, 2015 — Art & Design
This modern home office resembles more of a cozy cottage than a busy workplace. The cottage's homeowner wanted a home office in his backyard to overlook the rural vistas of Oslo, Norway. As a writer, the owner wanted to have striking views of nature to help inspire him and ignite his imagination.
The result is a uniquely shaped structure that takes advantages of its surrounding green space. Large windows are built to ensure maximum light travels in to the home.
The interior of this home office is decorated with a reading chair and a mezzanine. Wood is the predominant material used to furnish the residence and adorns the home's walls and ceilings. Also, a stair-inspired book shelf provides storage and acts as the home's main focal point.
