The Home Office

The 'home office' has transformed from a corner on the kitchen table to a dedicated area of calm, organisation, productivity and even inspiration. We recognise the benefit of ergonomics and the positive influence that nature and natural materials have on health and well being. Everyone will have different space constraints and possibilities and we take this considered approach be it a wall-mounted occasional office, a corner desk or a dedicated room.

This client wanted a home office in a space which incorporates a stained-glass window casting beautiful light across one corner of the room. The brief was for two work-stations with file storage, a wall unit to incorporate a small hidden tv screen and a dresser deep enough to store large images with drawers to facilitate smaller items.

Being an office, we wanted the furniture to evoke a sense of calm and tranquil diligence, a space that feels welcoming but uncluttered. We chose Oak and used a lot of horizontal lines and created shadow gaps under the worksurfaces. There are places for plants and artifacts to contrast the lines and these techniques, together with the special light in this space create a feeling of transcendence.

From The Customer...

“I rarely post reviews but felt compelled to do so because of the outstanding craftsmanship of Sjouke and his team at Hout Design. The standard of work was of the highest quality, the attention to detail was impeccable and of a standard exceeding what one would expect of custom made furniture. Sjouke and his team collaborated with us from start to finish to help us achieve our vision! This was not an easy project as the design had to accommodate beams and vaulted ceilings. Hout Design also crafted a custom office furniture, fireplace hearth, floating wall shelves, and a wet bar. We would absolutely recommend them without hesitation.”
