More than half of registered enterprises in the US They are now at home. But few houses are designed and built to accommodate them.
more modern property is only intended as a living space without work requirements in mind. People who work outside their home are, try left, conflicting demands to solve in one room: a company that is open to guests in the same place like a private living room; According to the working space near where the family has to study, relax and downtime; potentially hazardous work processes in a place that needs to be safe.
can lead to a poor daily adjustment handling inefficiency, frustration and stress, headache over the existing house feel isolated at work or feel that you are not "real" work, because you do not have a separate area.
But it is not necessarily be so. Before the industrial revolution, the building almost universally designed home and in the workplace in a single structure were to combine, what we now call the work home. Today some of these buildings are to be built to meet the needs of families and modern company.

Silenced by the earth
Development: Veld van Klanken

Disturbing the neighbors is a major concern for many companies at home. Work Home 24H-architecture design shows how to overcome the problem. A Veld van Klanken (sound field), 30 music studios Kuppe buried under a large lawn central, from the earth hearing. (Each studio is equipped with a "fire light" illuminated designed to prevent escape.) The houses of two associated floors are arranged in a rough oval around the hill.
The design makes the social isolation and acoustic problems disappear; Hill creates a space for children to play for a picnic, and to meet, hang out and work for musicians. And separate home and work space that fosters design homeworkers and their friends, family and colleagues customers and clients that the work itself, not a hobby or to treat secondary.
The integration of the employee in the house
Development: 9-10 Orchard St.
London
Things get complicated when home businesses hire employees (and try to integrate them in the room).
Consider 9-10 Orchard St., designed by Sarah Wigglesworth Architects (and husband of Mrs. Wigglesworth, Jeremy Up) for use by the company and your home. Instead of public and private house work in both arms of an L-shaped buildings separated that. Each with its own entrance A meeting at the pivot point between the two living rooms separate office. Throughout the day, a wall is to include them inhibited; at night it slides open.
The two functions are different architectural expression. The exterior of the house is a complex collage of elements and materials, while a more orderly and consistent approach is taken to the office. Housing and indoor workplaces are treated in different ways.
A factory and at home under one roof
Development: Batle study
San Francisco
Manufacturing companies may be operations with many employees on the footprints noisy, dirty. How to integrate them into a house?
San Francisco entrepreneur Agelio Batle and his wife Delia, Studies McCoppin invited a work home building, where they could combine a family room organized for them and their two with a company to a dirty manufacturing process. The company, which produces graphite art objects that can be used to write five employees.
The building comprises a ground floor, office, workshop, showroom and workshops combined. It is located upstairs pets, with high ceilings, white walls, wooden furniture and carpeting / cork. However, both areas can be mixed. Children practice the piano and work on art projects after hours; but it serves as a space for art classes for students. The floor can be used for meetings, and a private area for the employees sick or elderly.
To connect a place for entrepreneurs
Development: King Wharf
London
King Wharf tried the social isolation of homeworkers by a group of 57 units to fight work home, which is active 24 hours a day, promoting cooperation and the Community.

The work homes have a loft and a double height and a smaller closed bathroom.
