Backyard Workspace
Designed for a 30-year-old entrepreneur launching her massage therapy business, this backyard workspace offers a calming, functional retreat just steps from home. The goal was to create a serene and professional environment that blends wellness and work a space where clients could relax and the practitioner could stay organized, inspired, and focused. The concept centers around comfort, privacy, and spatial efficiency, with an emphasis on natural materials and a modern, approachable aesthetic.
The compact layout is carefully optimized through integrated storage and multifunctional features. Along one wall, a custom shelving system incorporates a built-in desk and rolling chair, creating a streamlined workstation for scheduling, client notes, and business tasks. Opposite the desk, an acoustic slatted walnut accent wall adds warmth, depth, and sound control, enhancing the spa-like ambiance. Built-in cabinetry at the rear provides discreet storage for massage supplies and equipment, while a circular mirror helps reflect natural light and visually expand the space.
