Ok I can weigh in here. I just built a new shop, roughly the same size as yours, and I had to include an office in it. Originally i was thinking the same as you. I know my real passion is in the shop not in my office. So I wanted the office to be as small as possible to ensure i gave as much floor space as i could to the shop. And that is good logic. But this is what I'll say. The difference between an office that is 8x10 or an office that is 10x10 will have a huge impact on the functionality?of your office. That could be enough space to allow you to include a book shelf, or a more comfortable desk, or a nicer chair, or whatever. But those 2 feet will have almost no impact on the functionality?of the shop.? Now I wouldnt take that too far. Don't make your office 20x20. But a few extra feet in the office might entirely change how that space feels and functions, where as it will likely have minimal impact on the shop. So give yourself some good elbow room there and dont?try and squeeze ever inch out of it that you can. -Brian On Mon, Feb 5, 2024 at 11:10?AM Larry <larry@...> wrote: Hello, |
