Where do you work?
-
That is a really nice building. I can understand you wanting to be closer to town however. I really have enjoyed working in downtown Huntsville. Walking distance to many a place to eat.

I've just set up my own business. On week 2 of this business my computer died. Currently, (while I'm waiting for my house sale to complete so that I have some money) I have a "guerilla office". I work from friends design practices and familys offices. I turn up at my old bosses architects practice and use his plotter. If they've got CAD I'm begging time on their computer. At the moment I've got six clients and I'm determined to deliver the design work on time and this experience has actually really made me aware of what is essential to the jobs completion - nothing unecessary. I've become very resourceful. I set up my business bank account today, the bank manager thought I was mad, but once I have some money I'll be fine.

Good luck on your venture.

And that's where I work from... home office in the front room, mind you, most of the time I take over the entire house with my work things...

I work out of here mostly, we have an office downtown but it's no fun, and since I'm half the business, well let's just say my partner and I have an understanding. Though I will say it's great ( the downtown office) for impressing clients.
My office is on the left side. The building is an old 1 room school house I converted into our home 20+ years ago.
We love it here. Just outside of Madison.

No kidding...Madison you say?! I'm a cheesehead myself, even though I have relocated to Cali a number of years ago. I used to live just east of Oshkosh in a little town called Wautoma....population 1629.

I too have built a nice little studio in my home. I like it. AFter 25 years in a big studio it is good, others join me on projects here. But I have lots of work to do on the house--I'm a product designer. The painting is the view out my window, minus a few roofs in the way!

haha- this thread is confirming what I always suspected- that most forum regulars are self-employed or at least work from home. Maybe forums and bosses aren't such a good combination

well... my office is now at the house...after i bought my laptop I went to the office mostly for scheduled appointments. It felt silly to get up early, start working, and after the kids were at school, shutdown and move it all to the office just to have to move it again in 7 hours, I made myself at least an hour a day by staying where my laptop was plugged in. All the equipment at the office was just waiting for a job to be finished.. that is when I would camp out for a day or so plotting and printing. What a drag!...The laptop allowed me to camp out in the back store room of my garage and work, until I had an appointmet... until my daughter got to big to live at home and vacated her bedroom! Her room made the perfect office. North light, ground floor, front door, in town location, and big enough for my work station setup.
So for the past 6 months I have been trying out the home office thing. Sent all the phones to my cell, hired a print service, moved the machines to the garage, and now I can work 24/7, I am so glad to be out of the office! The internet has really changed the way I do business. Funny thing is...I work more now and have more contracts than I ever did with a main street "location" and shingle. I kind of disappeared from the radar... go figure.. -
..cannot believe i've never seen this thread before.. you guys work in some AWESOME locations! i'm really jealousme, not so awesome...blue collar neighborhood..southeast philly... back room in my house.. has a door to my deck, but that's the only window...haha..

Our office takes up the first and second floors of the building to the left hand side of this photograph.

I work for a trade show & museum exhibit company in a suburb of Milwaukee, WI USA.
The one thing I appreciate the most in our office building, connected to our shops, warehouse and docks, are that the windows open to let in fresh air. My office is the last door on the left. I also enjoy seeing deer and other wildlife in the woods outside my office window.

I work here

Look at my really inspirational building

I'm so glad I don't actually "work" anymore. Else I'd have to show you spoiled brats a pretty sad sight.
Google Earth shows a few treetops and some roofs which disappeared two years and two days ago.
Anyway, it's fun looking at the posts.As Steve McQeen says in Papillon: I'm still here, you bastards!

and now work in:

The University is a former factory which has been converted to what you see there. Steelcase recently sold its brown field factories to the north and east and they are now in the process of being torn down. About 50 feet from my office is the new 'edge' of the building.

Tobobo - I've always had the idea that Birmingham was a very polluted city - but when I think about it, that must have been a long time ago.
I notice that you've always on holiday [street] even when at work.

Edit: Woops -long day should explain it (i hope)
