Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Heybraky’s shared office:

I really liked the description that accompanied the first photograph:

Home office. New York City. My wife and I both work from home. We wanted something that felt like “home”, but still “office” enough to be able to focus. My wife’s favorite spot is the couch. She curls up with her laptop and can still see my 30″ screen without having to get up.

Working a full-time job from home takes a great deal of focus and self-control. Working a full-time job from home in the same room as your spouse is even more difficult (speaking from personal experience). Heybraky has created an environment that is extremely conducive to actually getting things done. It’s well-organized, well-designed, and well-lit. I also like the map of the world with the pictures — it’s a great, inexpensive way to personalize artwork. The glass brainstorming board in the second picture is a nice, clean alternative to a white board.

Finally, I love that if you look out the office door in the second picture you can see a Roomba strolling down the hallway.

Want to have your own workspace featured in Workspace of the Week? Submit a picture to the Unclutterer flickr pool. Check it out because we have a nice little community brewing there. Also, don’t forget that workspaces aren’t just desks. If you’re a cook, it’s a kitchen; if you’re a carpenter, it’s your workbench.
