In one of my college design/space planning classes, the project was to convert two apartments in to one, open, more "lofty" apartment with a home office for a software engineer. This was a real project for the professor and we were able to visit the site and speak with the clients. The major element in my design is the office in the center of the space that's surrounded my transitional glass. Also, there are very few doors in the space, that and the glass, allows for the space to feel more open.
