Rizzoli New York, the nation’s preeminent architectural publisher, announces the impending release of The Home Office Reimagined: Spaces to Think, Reflect, Work, Dream, and Wonder, authored by Mobile native James Moore McCown in collaboration with Oscar Riera Ojeda as designer and editor. The book will be available online and in bookstores on Feb. 27. An image of the book’s front and back covers is attached. Images of the individual buildings in the book are available.

Pavilions, sheds, studios, extensions—call them what you will, architects around the globe are experimenting with attached or detached workplaces and creating imaginative ateliers that strain the limits of ‘mini’. With remote work and the ‘gig’ economy at full throttle, this timely book explores both the history of what it means to “go to the office” as well the evolving notion of working from home in a post-pandemic world.

Organized organically, The Home Office Reimagined: Spaces to Think, Reflect, Work, Dream, and Wonder allows readers to meander happily into and out of ideas and space-sensitive solutions for writers, painters, accountants, ceramicists, and individuals of all stripes in need of spaces to think, to work, and to wonder. From a scholar’s library study in upstate New York to a weathered steel-clad extension in London humorously dubbed “Brexit Bunker,” the projects featured in the book are splendidly diverse expressions of the creative use of space toward an end of inspiration and productivity.  Featuring twenty-five innovative home offices that are accessible, and often wonderfully serene, The Home Office Reimagined is a rich source of ideas and inspirations.
