“The couch or the bed just doesn’t cut it when you’re working 9 to 5 without leaving the house,” wrote Erin Hiemstra of her new backyard office on her blog Apartment 34. The freestanding 10-by-10-foot structure’s centerpiece is a wraparound black glass desktop set against light wood. To round out the space’s sophisticated vibe, this self-described “sucker for leaning art” added an upper shelf with built-in LED lights to display framed prints and ceramics. The minimal layout leaves Hiemstra enough room to roll out her yoga mat for Zoom classes and welcome her French bulldog, Luna, for midday snuggles.
