Ask HN: Home Office Layouts

15 points

3 years ago

I’m building a garden room to use as a home office and I’ve had this dilemma for a couple of years now. Desk in the middle of the room or along a wall. I’ve read many articles and videos about the pros and cons regarding usage of space, movement flow, balance. Despite all that I’m still undecided.

Therefore I'd like to consult the HN community and hear your thought process when laying out your office (home or corporate).

Due to local zoning laws, my little shed can't be more than 10m2. The floorplan is 3.7m by 2.7m, give or take 20cm for studs, insulation and walls. As you can see from the image above, it's a little snug.
