The idea of working at home is already a familiar concept. Even those of us who do not work professionally from our own residence undoubtedly reserve a small corner of the house for at least a writing desk or a computer. Yet no matter how common this phenomenon may be in our modern society, we are constantly confronted with new situations and unusual spaces that challenge us to find appropriate solutions to fitting our evolving needs into our homes.
