The pixelated shelving system, made of birch and acid-etched mirrored glass, as well as the cantilevered desk, were customized for the Woolford’s space. A large glass sliding door framed in white oak separates the addition from the rest of the home. The chairs are from Ikea.

Taking cues from local barns and silos, this rural Wisconsin home is a kind of modern observatory for watching the seasons change. A ladder in the study leads to a roof deck.

Architect Bruce Bolander made the most of a limited footprint in a house he designed in a Malibu canyon. With the small bedroom unable to accommodate any "normal" size desk, the architect designed a very thin custom steel desk where resident Heidi Wright works. The floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors from Metal Window Corporation open the entire corner of the room up to the outdoors. “The mountains across the way are almost like another wall—they contain the space to the point that you feel like you’re in a much bigger space, that you’re part of the overall landscape,” says Bolander.

Eliza, a writer, and Anthony, a music professor, both gained new office spaces. Eliza’s office is positioned against the angled storefront window, with a custom, site-built writing desk.

Adjustable shelving by ISS and colorful clip-on bookends from Vernon Library Supplies complete the space.

Ryan made sure to assign distinct space for the residents' twin passions, literature and botany, in the new pavilion. They describe the final product as a greenhouse and library rolled into one.
