Inviting Home Office

By Brian Vanden Brink
Design: Albert Righter Tittman Architects

Jacob Albert, of Albert Righter Tittman Architects of Boston created this cozy, yet spacious home office for his client in this new coastal Maine home. Extensive use of Douglas fir boards gives a warmth to the space that is inviting, while warm gray trim provides a contrast in color. Built-in cabinets and desk in the gable end allow ample space for computer and other necessities while a free standing desk gives space for other needs.

    A home office can be a base for productivity, creativity, and innovation. Home office provides the convenience and low cost to do business accessibly and effectively. But, sometimes meeting potential clients in home office looks unprofessional and doesn't add value to your business. So, that's why today most of the home office owners opt the services of a virtual office services, which does not provide an office space, but offers a professional business address for your home office. Virtual office providers also provide a virtual receptionist to manage all your business work and calls. Virtual office like, Virtual Asia Office, http://www.serviced.com.au/meeting-rooms-sydney, Ideal Office, etc., provides a professional space to meet with prospective clients by providing meeting rooms which offers home business owners with lots of flexibility.
