We are calling the space the “home office” but it is equally a games room, pool house, bedroom, relaxation space and a DJ booth. The Home Office was inspired by modern Japanese Architecture found in densely populated residential precincts like Aoyama, Tokyo. Through innovative design, small spaces can be transformed into highly functional beautiful spaces in which to live. It is also important to create built environments which suit multiple uses to extend the useful life of a building and thereby reduce its environmental impact.
The Home Office is a separate building in a residential back yard that incorporates a hidden bathroom, garden shed and rooftop deck. A plunge pool, and a pergola over an existing deck were also included as part of the project.
