Swire Properties
Offices with mountain views, modern glass and steel fixtures, and Zoom-ready backdrops you will want to show off.
Working from home is the 2020 trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere as the world remains in quarantine, and it’s much safer to shelter-in-place than join your associates in a shared office space. Because of this, many of us have had to get creative with how we set-up the best home office workspace, by designing in-room offices, working from the comfort of our bed, and trying to keep our space fresh and inspiring so that we can maintain productivity.
Some of the best accessories for your workspace may include digital whiteboards, blue-blocking eye glasses, and, of course, a sanitizing dock for your smartphone. Among these gadgets, we also recommend keeping your fridge stocked with fresh-squeezed juices and plant-based snacks for a healthy lunch break, as well as a pair of weights or a yoga mat nearby to get your blood-pumping in between projects. Staying healthy at-home is key, but so is building a dynamic environment that encourages focused work.
We have sourced five beautiful homes that feature their own luxury office spaces, from a modern residence punctuated with mirrors and steel fixtures to a country-classic home on the East Coast with a regal workspace for the big boss, these are five of the finest home offices we are loving.
Setting up your workspace in the cast of natural light will surely help with productivity and overall wellness.

OFFICE WITH A VIEW
When you have sweeping woodsy views out your home’s doorstep, like this wood-beamed modern Overland Trail Cabin, you do what you can to keep the outdoors, in. Take note of the floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors framing the verdant pine trees outside in this California estate located at the Sugar Bowl Ski Resort. Designed by BCV Architecture + Interiors, this mountainside work space allows home-owners to bask in the daylight while grinding out their workflow in a sun-soaked luxury home office in the bedroom. And because getting enough Vitamin D is crucial to a happy, healthy life, setting up your workspace in the cast of natural light will surely help with productivity and overall wellness. Just off this master bedroom sits a pristine master bath clad with a soaking tub and an elegant walk-in-closet—plus, a fireplace adjacent to the work space for a convenient place to unwind.
This family home was designed with five bedrooms and meant to be resided in year-round and comes equipped with the finest amenities, like Sub-Zero and Wolf kitchen appliances and plenty of outdoor terrace space for nature-observation and entertaining. Come winter-time, the home has direct chair-lift access to hit the ski slopes with ease.

A ZOOM-READY ROOM
The stress of prepping for a virtual meeting can be enough to call in sick. But here at the Reach Residence at Brickell City Centre in Miami, you will be more than ready to show off your backdrop to associates. Visualform & Associates designed this luxury home office space for the sleek professional who has a flare for high-end furnishings. With a contemporary take on the traditional office, you will find a geometric focal point “to encourage creative thinking,” along with an unexpected desk design by Cattelan Italia that mimics the theme of geometry and is paired with an artful Radja rug made in brown and blue oyster tones. We think the calming blue walls and accents of bronze and wood make for a relaxing environment, but one that encourages focus. An oversized mirror makes the room appear bigger, allowing for more breathing room when things get especially hectic online. Outside, from this luxury home office, you can peep the Brickell city skyline and the sparkling Biscayne Bay, a reminder that once the work is done, there is so much to discover in Florida’s metropolitan coastal city.
The designers used the method of biophilia for the home, as seen in the organic flow from room-to-room and the consistent use of natural materials, so even a day spent entirely indoors, you will feel connected to the elements of the wild beyond.
