My previous post showcased a beautiful loft space that housed a pod-like office inside the open-space apartment.  Here&#8217;s another example of creating an office in a loft apartment.  I&#8217;m not into the bed on top but I like that this one was created with a translucent material.  I&#8217;d like to combine the design of both [...]]]></description>
