With the multitude of distractions at home, I would love to have Davidson Rafailidis's home office design setup right now--and I mean it. Of course, it won't save me from my biggest distraction: me! Yet privacy is just a byproduct of this concept.

Instead, Davidson Rafailidis's design is purported to save on heat and energy while at home all day. By creating a smaller, insulated room within a room, it ensures you'll be home without needing to fiddle with the climate of your entire house. Ingenious.
