When a person's office is separate from their home, there will always be some kind of door between the two points. To me, the opening of the door is very symbolic - like a switch where we change modes from "working " to "at home". 

In this case, where the office and the living area share the same space, it was important for me to include some form of "switch", which transforms the environment. In both spaces, the switch took the form of a large door.
