"Before, people would take a small bedroom not in use and turn that into an office," says Michael Goldstein, President of Sales at The Estates at Acqualina. "With more people moving to South Florida for their primary residence, we created large offices that attach onto a balcony. An executive can go from the private office to the balcony and enjoy great views."

The bespoke home office designs have been a driving force for the development's continued success in sales. "We did over $100 million of business in the last 28 days. The last four weeks have been very busy with people coming from the Northeast, and they are looking for large residences," continues Goldstein.

The Estates at Acqualina recently topped off its South Tower and reopened the sales gallery that had been closed to the public during the pandemic.

"With the commercial and residential changes that the pandemic has brought about, the luxury market is responding quickly to demand," says Isabel Tragash, Principal at STA Architectural Group. "We decided to develop luxury home offices, teaming up with Luxury Living to curate these wonderful spaces. The amazing views and natural light are taken full advantage of in the Ravello office, for example. Lighting is extremely important in the context of having these shared screen meetings, to complement your features and the background. When the chair is in front of a window, we have roll-down shades that allow the view in without the glare. When not, the wall is treated so it is a nicely composed background, as in the Amalfi office.

Sound-absorbing materials prevent an echo. We compensate sound with rugs, wall coverings with sound-absorbant qualities, and softer materials to enhance the acoustics of your voice on the receiving end. It's important that you look good, your background looks good, and that your voice is clear and free of echo.

These offices have a good feel, look elegant, and can receive family and business acquaintances for a meeting in a private setting. Most offices open up to a balcony that makes the conversation a little more informal, with amazing views.

You want your desks to be free of exposed cables and wires, so it's important to think of how to feed cables. It's important when you're selecting the furniture how they will be serviced. Certain outlets on the floor are concealed to keep a clean and elegant look."

Residences at The Estates at Acqualina will be priced from $4.6 – $14.5 million to $32 million for penthouses. Sales Gallery Address: 17895 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida; Telephone: 305.933.6666; Website: www.EstatesAtAcqualina.com

Working from home requires a home office that provides a space for inspiration, improv and income. Whether you're an entrepreneur, writer or making use of your flex hours set by your employer, you need to go into a designated work zone to be successful.

Famous authors and entrepreneurs know about getting into this work zone. Starting out, Bill Gates worked out of his garage. John Cheever would dress in a suit and tie, and go into his basement to write. Toni Morrison acknowledged that "a home office is also a way of professionalizing a job that many people dismiss as a lark or a luxury." The home office, then, becomes a kind of safe zone that enables and supports the imaginative inspirations of its occupant, and a space that creates continual perseverance, which guarantees success.

Do you have a novel inside you? Do you have a budding business inside of you? If so, keep reading. Let the rags-to-riches anecdotes of such diligent authors and entrepreneurs serve as inspiration that you, too, can strike gold, and can eventually have a home office of the same caliber of those pictured below.

This home office makes for the ideal collaborative space where teamwork will transform the world.

The view here provides inspiration that being at-the-top has its perks.

The wall mirrors are by Line Vautrin, the artworks are by Cy Twombly and Jean Dubuffet, and the banquette cushions are clad in a Great Plains fabric. The decor of this home office proves that there is no distinction between artistic, "creative” production and the economics of “hard” work.

What stands out in this retro home office? The chairs, sculpture and carpet. Fucchsia leather chairs were designed by Kelly Wearstler and bring a pop of color to this home office located in a Bel Air, California. The tube sculpture on the desk was also designed by Wearstler, and the carpet was custom made by the Rug Company. All of these items create a vibe that's playful. This seems to be the perfect home office for artistic endeavors, innovations brought to life.

The side chair is a vintage Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann design that offers the perfect touch, as well as the untitled painting by Wayne Gonzales that hangs above the built-in parchment-covered cabinet.

Shared Work Spaces

Gone are the days of working in a traditional office setting, where cubicles separate colleagues and gossiping occurs around the water cooler. Shared work spaces are the new city trend. The rise in co-working spaces in New York City, and other tech hub cities around the world, has left more people yearning for work environments that are open, collaborative, inspiring and stimulating.  Shared office spaces in urban areas appear to be the future of business.
