That's a lot of words for "We put some industrial shelving in a closet with a keyboard and computer monitors, and we made it all beige."
I'm sorry this clearly isn't beige, this is the color of simple warm and transparent functionality of contemporary Korean and Japanese hospitality and retail spaces!
Here is my COVID bathroom office: https://x.com/perryfromsoma/status/1351396588615204872
The contrast between all that fancy equipment and the actual work surface being a cheap-as-can-be fibreboard (that will get nasty quickly and suck up all liquids) with a more or less unfinished edge that will probably feel uncomfortable is a bit too much of the designerly touch for me...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not foolish. Design is subjective and it's most often a question with no objectively good answer, so it's between the designer and whoever appraises his output. There's no secret design paradigm that makes everyone happy.
>It's not foolish. It is all about fooling the viewer. Like for example seeing some run down old buildings in US or Eastern Europe will make people scoff, but if you show them similar looking run down buildings in South Mediterranean Europe or Japan they will be in awe. It's about perception. >Design is subjective No it isn't. Just like art and people's appearances, there's unanimously objective on what's beautiful a…
Very underwhelming keyboard there, given the overall effort.
The rest goes from "meh" to "gross" (that fibreboard is getting _nasty_ even with a bit of sweat over a few months, not to mention its raw edge is going to result in blood loss sooner or later)
Oh, didn't think that'd make it to the front page, appreciated! OP and builder here. The website was purely because a friend and I were looking for design work during lockdown and put together a couple of things we recently worked on, but basic design and build was a fun ~6 months solo project. We had a good discussion on https://www.reddit.com/r/architecture/comments/1mlo6hu/tryin... over the weekend with more detai…

I wonder—style is subjective and I think it looks nice. The floors are pretty and the rug looks comfy. Beige walls are, eh, well, safe pick I guess. Preference disagreement: I absolutely need my workspace to be different from my gaming space, or I’d go totally nuts. But, there’s an objectively correct answer for the placement of the camera, subject, monitors, and window, to avoid glare and getting washed out. Does an…
Preach. I made this wonderful office for myself. It's got name brand monitor stands, I only need one cable, the desk mat is cute, and there's a huge pegboard for all my work hardware.
After a month or so, I preferred working on the kitchen table with a laptop. Brains are funny things.

Hi, where do you get your industrial shelving?
It's cool but also kinda wild to hire a design firm to figure out the layout of your home office. Personally my home office is very "personal" and one of the things I enjoyed the most is figuring out where everything should go. To me this is the same as hiring a development firm to build you a set of dotfiles.
