Space: Roofdeck that was turned into an enclosed home office space
Style preference: Since he and his team often work out of the office–either in fast food restaurants or cafés–he wanted his home office to have the look and feel of a café, particularly those industrial-style, third-wave coffee shops.
Budget: Minimal, as there was no major renovation done. We only repainted some walls and added a divider made from powder-coated aluminum to separate the pantry sink from the work area. We also customized desks for his staff made from filing cabinets and wood planks.
Here are some BEFORE pics of the space.
