The design concept for our own office remodel started with the idea of an open studio that would bring an updated interpretation of mid-century design inside the space. The bookcase wall partitions the conference room and cantina from the studio with a translucent design to allow the penetration of natural light throughout the space. Previously the space had been partitioned into five rooms and a hallway
