> "Work from home is here to stay" Sadly, this is not true for most of us. :-(

While there has been a step down from the pandemic max, we are still at higher levels of WFH than ever before: https://theconversation.com/us-workers-with-remote-friendly-...

Its interesting how many of the comments here are criticizing the cost, the decision to commission a design firm, or that it just wouldn't work for them. In which case, great! You can choose however you want to do your home office. This person put in effort to both deliberately design their home office and to share it with everyone. That's pretty amazing! And even if I might not go the same way, there are def some very cool ideas from this that I will certainly look into : )

Something interesting with the pictures the grading maybe, they seem matte how I'd describe it amateurly, it looks good

Thanks! Had a really good camera & lenses for the day (Hasselblad X1D II with Zeiss Otus and Canon TS-E 17mm), and then post was mostly reducing colors besides brown/green/red hues a bit.

Very underwhelming keyboard there, given the overall effort.

That Das Keyboard is the only piece in the entire website I didn't quite dislike. But I'm biased as I'm typing this on one (although a Tenkeyless one - it's ridiculous to have a numpad, it's not the 80s). 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)

Was concerned about splinters too, but if you compress and treat/seal it a bit, it works quite well, although they do get a bit gross after 2-3 years to the point where you should flip/replace them.

Love the term multimodal WFH. Like you I have diverse, equipment-laden hobbies: guitar/piano/dj/drums/photography and work from home. It's really hard to feel like you can quickly get to all of those activities, without reconfiguring -anything- and creating spaces tuned to all those things. Love that this approach is easy to change w/ the industrial wall shelving. Also appreciate touching on some of the specialized e…

That was one of the weirdest effects of the space - it almost felt like transitioning from affairs to a marriage, in a good way.

Before that, I often used to work out of random / public places, and I when I got really stuck just change scenery. Being able to switch modes built that weird sense of home, knowing that when I get stuck, I can switch modes for a bit and do / work on something else, and no matter what the space would be there for me. Hard to describe without sounding too prosaic, but really glad to have built it.

This looks absolutely amazing, but since this is the Internet and people need to complain about stuff, I can't see the knit cloth mat working well with a wheeled chair!

Haha, very good (and true) observation - but turns out if you practice 6+ months, you develop a knack for pushing chairs over uneven terrain.
