Once one steps inside the firm of De Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop, owned by Roberto DeLeon and Ross Primmer, a stunningly beautiful interior design presents itself. The utilitarian metal shed has been transformed into a light, airy, [minimalist home office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-office-1). And yes, the bunny at the foot of the bed is real.
