Born out of the changing needs during the pandemic, our Solar-Powered Backyard Office project was designed to create a true class A office experience—right in the comfort of home. As remote work became the new normal, we set out to design and build a dedicated workspace that was not only beautiful and functional but also entirely self-sufficient. We chose steel construction for its strength, lighter weight, and ease of relocation, making this structure much easier to transport compared to traditional wood-framed buildings. The design was inspired by mid-century modern architecture, offering clean lines, open space, and a timeless aesthetic that blends effortlessly into any backyard setting. Powered entirely by solar energy, this backyard office eliminates the need for hardwiring to the home’s electrical system, giving homeowners true flexibility and freedom. Inside, the space mirrors the feeling of a high-end commercial office, complete with: • High ceilings and abundant natural light • Energy-efficient climate control • Sleek, durable finishes • Smart lighting and power systems We’re proud to share that our original design was featured in Dwell Magazine, highlighting it as a forward-thinking solution for modern living. At Artisan Kitchen & Bath, we believe great spaces are not just built—they’re imagined, crafted, and brought to life with purpose. This project is a perfect example of how we help our clients rethink what’s possible for their homes and their lifestyles.

The Happiest Office design was created for our full-time remote working client. They asked us to convert their camper into an office, that could easily convert back to a camper for weekend adventures. We took inspiration from the punchy orange exterior of the Happier Camper and added even more California flair to it with an amazing (and fully removable) poppy wallpaper. We wanted to create a secondary space for our client, so that she could have a change of scenery mid-day or space to relax in-between calls and soak up the CA rays. We designed a cozy sitting area out back, with a pair of black modern rocking chairs and black and white rug. On cooler days, work gets done with the back hatch open looking out onto her outdoor living room, essentially doubling the size of her office space. The monochromatic outdoor furniture design is accented with hints of orange and yellow, and an embroidered poppy pillow completes the look. We love a great multi-functional design! Design never needs to be sterile and small spaces do not need to feel cramped! Let us help you make your space everything you've imagined, and more!

Starting with the classic mid-century wallpaper, this home office space might be tiny, but it's filled with potential. The two bookshelves behind the desk frame it and add additional storage space for books, office supplies, and decorative accents. Thanks to this layout, there's still plenty of room for a small relaxing nook across the desk. We added an accent chair paired with an ottoman that can always double as a side table or quickly go underneath the console table when not allowed for more walking space. Finally, we even added a small nook for the furry coworker who wants to stay in the office all-day-long.
