My studio is located just right beside my living room. It’s separated by a tinted glass wall that enables me to see outside of my studio, rather than having to work in a fully enclosed space.
The studio’s design is pretty straightforward. On one side we have a fully extended L-shaped workstation where I work together with my wife, and on the other side there’s a wall of well-lit shelves filled with books and toys. This is actually our first studio after we bought our first house, and I designed everything myself for the contractors to follow.
I’ve long dreamt on having an extended L-shaped working area, where I can just wheel my chair around whenever I wanted to switch from working digitally to traditionally, or vice versa. We also wanted a space for us to sit and chill on the floor when we take a break, so there’s a space in the middle of the room that separates the bookshelves from our working area.
