Home Office – Suite!

June 1, 2019

A steadily increasing number of people in the Massachusetts workforce perform some part of their work at home. Whether working as a telecommuting employee of a large firm, a consult, or an empty nester embarking on a new career, people who work from their homes all find it easier if they have adequate space in which to do it.

Creating a home office can be a wise investment: The Boston Globe recently reported that today’s new home buyers frequently consider a home office more desirable than an extra bedroom when evaluating a house for sale. (Realtors counsel that the room should be easily converted back to its prior use). Remodeling Magazine’s latest remodeling cost-versus-value survey shows that, in the eastern United States, homeowners can expect to recoup 63% of the cost of converting an existing bedroom or den into a home office upon the sale of the home. Spare bedrooms, attics, and garages, if available, are obvious choices for locating a home office. But with some imagination, it is frequently possible to find a suitable niche elsewhere in the house that can be adapted nicely to office use. If an addition is being considered, advance planning can lead to the thoughtful incorporation of office space.

  • Lighting: Do you prefer natural or electric light? If you have a window, are you inspired or distracted by the view? Will glare from the window make the computer screen hard to read? Arrange your furniture with these things in mind.
  • Storage: How much and what kind do you need? In addition to paper files, computer disks, and CDs, remember to allow space to store office supplies and business records.
  • Visitors: Will you be seeing clients or holding meetings in your office? If so, do you need a conference area and/or extra seating? Do you prefer a separate entry? What about a private bathroom?
  • Workstyle/Ambiance: Do you need peace and quiet for your work, or do you perform better amidst noise and activity? Do you prefer to work standing up, sitting down, or moving around?
  • Sharing: Will more than one person use the office, either at the same time or at different times? This raises issues of privacy, and of preferences in workstation configuration. Remember, you don’t need a lot of space for a home office: the average cubicle in a corporate office (think Dilbert) measures only 6′ x 8′. But smaller spaces must be

Why Feinmann for Design-Build?

Read about our design-build service,  process, and what differentiates us from our competitors.

Learn About Design-Build

We loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.

- Cambridge, MA

From start to finish of the project our ideas were heard and creatively addressed. The quality of the final results are even better than we imagined. Our home feels completely new and we love the improved living space! As far as the team, they are fantastic, personable, timely, has great ideas and always seem to stay calm and in charge, ready to problem solve. The carpenters are a delight to work with and the quality of their carpentry and building skills are impressive, always smiling and offering a “can do” attitude.

- Leveling Up for Grand Entertaining

Feinmann is a top-notch company in every category! We have worked with them on three separate occasions: a complete kitchen remodel (2017), three bathrooms (2016), and a room addition (2011). Working with the Feinmann team was truly a great pleasure! Everyone in the company is committed to quality work, the projects were run proficiently and professionally, they provided the highest quality workmanship, and we always received timely responses to our questions and concerns. My wife and I would consider no-one else for our new project!

- European, Contemporary Kitchen Remodel

We are very happy with the experience we had with Feinmann in what was a pretty extensive remodel. First of all, their design team truly developed a great vision for the house, beyond what we had imagined. Through the remodel, which by its nature is an arduous process (living without a kitchen for a while), the Feinmann team was very collaborative and supportive, managed well and the results have truly transformed our house. We’re extremely happy with the outcome.

- Hosting Haven Meets Artistic Angles

Feinmann took a real interest in building a kitchen that would fit the design of the house and meet our needs. That was when we knew that they were the best choice for us. Anyone can rip out a kitchen and put in some new counters and cabinets, but we wanted someone who cared about design, style, and function.
