The architecture of BSSR House is the physical expression of a way of being: the form does not follow a particular fashion, it follows a particular life. BSSR House is designed and built on the principles of “less is more”, “doing more with less” and “less but better”.
The name of the house is “Minimum to the Max!” which I believe also aptly describes the feel of this room. In the desk and workspace area, there are only computers, desks, task lighting, and chairs.
Likely, when the space is in use, there are also project materials strewn about the desks. However, at the end of the day, all items are put away and stored on the bookcase.
The bookcase is built into the wall and was part of the original design of the home. Without the bookcase, the space would feel empty or impersonal. With the bookcase, the space transforms into an inspiring studio that can provide clarity and creativity.
The long window that runs along the wall opposite of the bookshelf is also nice for bringing natural light into the space.

'Went through the slideshow on Flickr and absolutely love the home.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Sorry but this just looks like an old schoolhouse renovated.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'All the (Continental) European homes I’ve ever visited have all looked pretty much the same, with white walls, lots of bookshelves and uncarpeted floors. That kind of style is not to my taste at all – it’s just not cosy enough – and nor is this office, but I have to say it is beautifully done. It looks a bit like a library with the identical desks and chairs. And I can’t imagine any other computer but a Mac in that space.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Maybe the low windows are motivation to stay seated and finish your work — you can’t gaze out the window while standing?? I do like the large bookshelf, though.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'I do like how neat and clean it is.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'The design is a little stark for my tastes, but I am inspired by the modern lines and clean, functional spaces.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'What’s striking to me is that even though the bookcases are used for organizing supplies, books and related documents, the shelves aren’t overflowing. So often wall-spanning bookcases like this can be a clutter magnet, but in this picture, some of the cubbies have barely anything in them. Impressive.'
'Where is the file cabinet? Are we to understand that this office is completely paperless?'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Not to my taste but it works, by the standards of that style.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Fun to find a house only a few miles from mine on a website written on the other side of the world. The windows are not as small as you’think by seeing the pictures.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'I *don’t* like how it looks, but I feel like that might be the point. It would be a perfect craft studio for me – nothing distracting from the task at hand, plenty of storage for supplies and works-in-progress. It’s a blank slate of a room, empty of all but potential and the means to achieve it. If this were intended to be an entertaining area or a living space it would fail horribly – but as a workspace, it’s right on target.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'W-o-w! Really, really great minimalist design.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'The windows next to the desk seem positioned so that you would have an open horizon if you were sitting at the desk. Maximizing window space, maybe?'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'I thought the architect’s statement at the beginning of the album summed it up perfectly:
The only universal measure is whether the space feels comfortable and right to the people who use it (emphasis mine). Minimalism – or, as the sculptor Donald Judd preferred to put it, the simple expression of complex thought – is only one valid response of an aesthetically diverse society, answering the needs of particular individuals and provoking debate in society at large about how we choose to live and how we expect architecture to support these choices.
The windows make sense to me, both as frames for a specific view of the surrounding countryside and as a way of minimizing resource use: great big windows can equal “great big opportunity for heat loss”.'
