Where do you work?
-
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.. -

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.

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!

I had worked in this building for 13 years:

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.
-
Its still very populated (I Think), I don't have the window seat
Edit: Woops -long day should explain it (i hope)
-
-
Toby - The trees do make a difference [to the pollution and the view] - especially those in that shot. The work of a mature landscape architect no doubt?
As for the population - you'd know more about that than I would. I'm not picking that hairy chestnut out of the fire.
I'll be heading to the Northern Hemisphere in about 10 days and don't want to get off on the wrong foot.
-
I've had such a dense day today, it all started with me forgetting my lunch.
The pollution is much better now, thanks to the public realm improvements such as the bull ring
More than meets the eye

-
Bull Ring? You'll have to explain . . . or is there something I'm missing here?
-
Its a redeveloped market space
Here is the link to the centre's website

Wow, you guys are turning speaking at cross-purposes into an art!
You must admit, to anyone unfamiliar with Birmingham the following sentence sounds very odd in the 21st century.

Toby - I take it you're in favour of the Bull Ring? Why?
You would think that after spending half a billion pounds on the building they would want to show it off. The website should be crammed with wonderful images of what appears to be an interesting modern building smack in the middle of Birmingham's CBD - not so.
That roof [the little you see of it] looks like something Frank Gehry might have designed.
I notice a Landscape Architect designed one of the art works - the glass cubes water sculpture.
Was there much criticism or opposition to its construction? They must have had to knock down a lot of old buildings to make room for it.
