With the changing landscape of remote work due to COVID-19, we saw an opportunity to convert the existing garage into a dedicated studio space, designed to meet our specific needs and maximise our property to provide additional utility to our modern mid-century family home.

​

The office was designed to accommodate two workstations, a meeting space, storage, workshop, and office supply storage, while still retaining access to the swimming pool area. The result is a thoughtfully designed and functional office space that blends seamlessly with the existing structure while providing the necessary storage and amenities for our remote ‘work from home’ needs.

​

The design features are carefully curated to create a functional and visually appealing workspace. One of the key considerations in our layout is the placement of desks away from direct sunlight, glare, and visual distractions, ensuring a conducive environment for focused work and collaborative workflow. The interior of the space is intentionally kept light in contrast to the dark exterior, creating a pleasing visual contrast that adds depth and interest to the overall design.

​

With a ceiling height of 2.1m due to the existing structure, we used a banded colour border to create the illusion of a taller room. The lighting design is simple yet focused, highlighting key work areas and creating a comfortable ambiance. Custom colours, including a blue hue tone for accent walls and floors, add vibrancy while maintaining a calming atmosphere. Cabinetry colours are derived from the main entry poster, creating vibrant and modern work environment aesthetic.

​

Hidden storage is located behind a wall panel at the entry, ensuring the space is kept organized. Circular floor treatments made from recycled materials add a sustainable touch to the design.

​

Custom storage solutions cater to specific needs, maximizing functionality. Our studio interior promotes productivity with a well-balanced colour palette, clever lighting, hidden storage, and sustainable elements. With a layout conducive to collaborative workflow and a design that balances modern and mid-century influences, our workspace is both functional and visually appealing.
