Wanna_be_architect Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I am going to be leasing 1200 sf of office space and I was wondering if some of you guys have any office furniture links? I am going to go with a modern yet professional look. I would love to see some pics of the offices you work in, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb602 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Wow, that was fast! I thought you were just contemplating a career in architecture a couple of weeks ago! I don't know what your price range is, but if you want THE most comfortable office chair ever invented, check out the Freedom Chair here: http://www.humanscale.com/products/freedom_chair.cfm. If you're an architect or an interior designer, you can get a big discount on it, and probably many other lines of furniture. So what are you planning to do in your 1200sf office?

Wanna_be_architect Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Well I have my own construction company that I am needing a office for and since I really want to get into design/build, I think I need a little bigger office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan J Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 WBA, Design/build- smart move. I don't understand why you would even consider becoming an Architect if you own a construction company. Even better move would be Develop/Design/Build. I know there are more of these companies growing over that past several years, but perhaps work up to it. Good luck. What about an Aeron Chair by Herman Miller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna_be_architect Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Exactly what I am thinking, Dan. I know construction very good so design/build is a smart choice for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Just keep in mind ya need that handy dandy Architects seal if you want to "design" anything over about $90,000 - which in the states is a 10x10 room with a roof - maybe. I know some fellers who paid a hefty price for design'n then building without one;-) Houses are another thing all together – don’t know much about houses. Good luck on the new venture! brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Bret, In the state of Texas that is not true. I started in building design in the 70's, and my firm is over 25 years old. We do have limits, but as far as single family it is very open. Good Luck Wanna_be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
