Expansive Modern Home Office and Library Ideas and Designs
Expansive modern home office and library in Miami with a reading nook, grey walls, marble flooring, no fireplace, a freestanding desk and white floors.
The client’s brief was to create a space reminiscent of their beloved downtown Chicago industrial loft, in a rural farm setting, while incorporating their unique collection of vintage and architectural salvage. The result is a custom designed space that blends life on the farm with an industrial sensibility.
The new house is located on approximately the same footprint as the original farm house on the property. Barely visible from the road due to the protection of conifer trees and a long driveway, the house sits on the edge of a field with views of the neighbouring 60 acre farm and creek that runs along the length of the property.
The main level open living space is conceived as a transparent social hub for viewing the landscape. Large sliding glass doors create strong visual connections with an adjacent barn on one end and a mature black walnut tree on the other.
The house is situated to optimize views, while at the same time protecting occupants from blazing summer sun and stiff winter winds. The wall to wall sliding doors on the south side of the main living space provide expansive views to the creek, and allow for breezes to flow throughout. The wrap around aluminum louvered sun shade tempers the sun.
The subdued exterior material palette is defined by horizontal wood siding, standing seam metal roofing and large format polished concrete blocks.
The interiors were driven by the owners’ desire to have a home that would properly feature their unique vintage collection, and yet have a modern open layout. Polished concrete floors and steel beams on the main level set the industrial tone and are paired with a stainless steel island counter top, backsplash and industrial range hood in the kitchen. An old drinking fountain is built-in to the mudroom millwork, carefully restored bi-parting doors frame the library entrance, and a vibrant antique stained glass panel is set into the foyer wall allowing diffused coloured light to spill into the hallway. Upstairs, refurbished claw foot tubs are situated to view the landscape.
The double height library with mezzanine serves as a prominent feature and quiet retreat for the residents. The white oak millwork exquisitely displays the homeowners’ vast collection of books and manuscripts. The material palette is complemented by steel counter tops, stainless steel ladder hardware and matte black metal mezzanine guards. The stairs carry the same language, with white oak open risers and stainless steel woven wire mesh panels set into a matte black steel frame.
The overall effect is a truly sublime blend of an industrial modern aesthetic punctuated by personal elements of the owners’ storied life.

Rhombus 6x10 is a porcelain tile that has different variations. The color shape is the same for all, but there are four different textures and patterns. One has a wavy, lace design on it. One has a grey floral design. One has a zigzag pattern, and one has words pressed on it. The designs translate to the texture. You can feel the lace, the floral pattern, the zigzag formation, and the words on the tile. The colors we carry are light grey, dark grey and white.

To not overpower nor obstruct existing structures, much of the new office addition was set 2/3 into the ground, making windows high and narrow. To increase natural light, designers added a 12’x12’ pyramid-shaped skylight and incorporated full-power, horizontal shades across the framed ceiling. The shades open and close to help regulate the desert suns' light and heat. The insets in the coffered ceiling are suede. To buffer sound, the office walls are upholstered. The pyramid skylight adds welcome light and visual interest on both the interior and exterior of the freestanding office.
