New home office

[OPEN_RANGE]

Here is my work space. It is in my main living space. solo freelancer setup <g> I couldn't justify renting office space here - it would be more than my mortgage payment. Plus I'm way more efficient working from home. (I know that's not true for everyone.)

My house is 1 bedroom 800 sq ft.The part of the house that is shown is @ 300 sq ft and was built in 1894. That was the entire house. Looking beyond toward the kitchen is a 500 sq ft.addition I built in 1985. I'm slowly re-doing everything I did in 1985. Right now I'm in a work lull and I'm poised to cut 8 recess lights and one Pendant light into the ceiling of the Living room shown with the work space. Move everything out and mask off and etc to drill eight 4.25" holes in ceiling with !/2 drywall over 1X wood over coal dust, rock wool and fiberglass bats above.

Plus I'm getting rid of the one upper wall cabinet that is next to the window. The desk was L shaped and extended/turned under that cab. I'm slowly reducing the work space and improving the Living space.

The chair is a Steelcase Leap Chair. I shopped Herman Miller and I like this better plus a lot less expensive. Look at, I think, Madison Seating or something like that for good price.

I'm thinking of monitor upgrade. I have the two Dell 2007 FP shoown. They work fine but seem real old and so.... Any suggestions on what is good for arch viz work?

Nice space and I love the chair. The back-lite monitors are nice, too.

Very nice! Again, one monitor. I guess I am not alone. What kind of artist is your wife? I would love to see her work.

She is a commercial artist & she makes paintings aswell.. those paintings in images i posted above are done by her. She is working on her website.. will post link as soon as she finishes it.

you have an amazing workspace!!

Thank you! I have been working on it for 3+ years. Well, the space is new, but the stuff has been a process to get. I have been working up, buying things just to get buy and upgrading when I can. Like the Herman Miller chair. I started off with an old task chair, worked up through a few decent office chairs and then to this one. This is the cheapest one they had, so I might upgrade this one in a few years. Same for the desk and most everything I have.

I have a very small space.. its just a 5'x8' room. My wife is an artist & she shares some space keeping her stuff along. I tried to make those table stands with my own limited tools.. i do little bit of carpentry work & keep renovating broken furniture & other household stuff so you may notices that those 2 desks are not aligned properly .. if in 3d things would have been different haha!

It's been crazy and I am never moving again! Awhile back we all shared our office space. I thought it would be a good time (for me) to start that thread again .

Introducing my new home office. (http://bobby-parker.com/architectura...log/new-office) I would love to see yours.

Really small image, so I can't see it, but great to be able to close it up. Do I like the Synology NAS, any recommendations? Right now I have an 8TB external drive backing up my project foilder, which is backed up to Carbonite. I also have a 2nd 8TB external drive backing up the first.

Sounds like your data situation works for you - I don't have a second backup - everything is on a DS1515+ - I forget which array setup I'm using, but it allows for a least 1 or 2 drives to fail. I figure with my luck when it fails they'll all fail together

I'll see if I can get proper pictures of the space. Although it's a mess.

Wanted to contribute but don't have any good pictures of my office space. Here's a screen grab of a 3d scan I did of it. Essentially a glorified closet - my 'office nook'. Has 2 pocket doors to close and hide all my hideous electronics It's a standing desk sort of setup. The 27" monitor almost feels like two screens if you get close enough. 1 PC to work on, and a 5 node helmer modded render farm that is starting to show its age. Synology NAS for project files - and a battery backup for the NAS in case of power failure.

Alienware 17x ...I use XREFs, Proxies... 8GB video card, SSD and it's working well.

32 Gb is getting you by, good for you. From start to finish on a laptop might cause me some anxiety. I purchased a 2017 MBP, but it's pretty much an expensive chromebook IMO. What are you using?
