Kitchen office is an idea that is quickly catching on in a world where bringing work home is all too easy.

There is also the added advantage of saving-space in a home where every square inch matters immensely. In tiny homes, the kitchen office is a clever space-saver that can be easily incorporated without major makeovers. And your kitchen cabinets can provide additional storage options as well.

The best kitchen office spaces are ones that work with the existing theme and style of your home. With open plan living areas becoming the norm, there is plenty of space for the tiny workstation in the kitchen that serves all your home office needs. Of course, some might prefer a work area that is modest and minimal while others need a home office that is dedicated and serves you well for 8 hours each day. In here are 20 inspirations that offer something for everyone; a perfect way tp blend work and personal life –

Maximizing Corners in the Kitchen

The easiest way to add a home workstation in the kitchen is by tapping into the power of those unused corners that have been neglected for far too long. All you need here is a simple bench or desk along with a smart chair to create this ergonomic workstation that is a perfect, tiny home office. If you are not too keen on adding an exclusive desk and chair, an extension of one of the kitchen countertops along with a bar stool will do just fine. If you have a few floating shelves or wall-mounted cabinets above, then all is set.

Space-Savvy Kitchen Workstations

One idea that we absolutely love is that of a home office in a kitchen closet that can be simply closed away when not in use. If you have an empty wall section or even a closet that is being unused in the kitchen then turning it into a workstation takes very little effort. Of course, you need to take care of lighting here and adding a pendant fixture or table lamp will complete a smart setting that will serve you in more ways than one. If you have kids around, this same area can be used as a kitchen study zone with different seating options.

Smart Cabinets and Storage Options

If a slim countertop in the kitchen hosts your small home office, then the cabinets above with slight modifications should be sufficient as office storage. If you need additional shelf space, a standalone unit in wood and metal is a trend that you can borrow from with ease. Combining the office cabinets and shelves with those in the kitchen in an aesthetic fashion gives you a more curated setting. This also leaves the style of the kitchen and the color palette unaltered.

  • Elephant’s Hill House

    The privileged view of nature was the core starting point for this project on the mountainous region of Nova Lima, State of Minas Gerais/Brazil. An adventurer couple chose us to create this special project in such an exclusive area. At first, the site’s high declivity seemed to be a big challenge, but it was also what inspired us to come up with the implantation’s solution. Exploring its natural landscape and the Elephant’s Hill view, it was possible to set the social floor at the height limit, above the trees. The street facade turned out to be the side elevation and the main facade now faces towards the side boundary. Due to the high declivity of the area, we were able to create a 3 level house. On the ground floor: garage, laundry, and storage. On the first floor, the office was fully integrated with the living room and a guests’ ensuite. Finally, on the second floor, there’s the hosts’ ensuite, with the most privileged view of the landscape. A slight angulation to the east gave us the opportunity to have both the ensuite and the barbecue area to take advantage of the morning sun and the region’s predominant ventilation. At the same time, it helped to protect the ground floor from the sunset light using a concrete wall that blocks the sunlight inside the house. With the major orientation E-W, the house opens to the northern landscape. Extensive eaves on the north view’s perimeter protect the openings of the summer sun, at the same time as the glasses receive the necessary natural heat to naturally warm the inside during the winter.
    We requested that two trees were precisely placed by the topographer in the middle of the elevated deck that connects the house to the suspended heated pool. These also work as a natural filter to the sun’s radiation, minimizing the sun’s entry in the living room and the kitchen. The 25m pool, a client wish, is a fundamental part of the volumetric composition of the house. Sustained by two concrete columns, they elevate the pool 6m above the natural floor level, providing to whom’s inside the pool a view of the treetops and the imponent Elephant’s Hill. With the capacity to generate about 1400kW of energy per month through photovoltaic panels, the house is self-sufficiency on energy, warming the pool water and neutralizing the energy consumption from equipment and artificial lightning.
    Columns and ribbed slab represent the constructive system. The use of apparent concrete in the house’s wall, swimming pool, and slabs bring the timelessness wanted to the project.
