This was a hoot to read. Thanks for sharing it and popping into the comments.
I was laughing all throughout because you have so much space but are still stuck with a difficult optimization problem.
My partner and I are semi-Digital Nomads and over the years of working from “home” I’d guess we created makeshift office space in about 30 different temporary homes. We are usually somewhere between a 1br and a 3 br, so it always takes a ton of creativity to wrangle the desks, chairs, noise isolation and manage to keep out of the way of your living space. We’ve worked in kitchens, bedrooms, living room couches, closets, woodshops, unheated out buildings, cabins, chalets, hotel rooms (with the furniture against the windows during a hurricane), poolside, and basements during heat waves. Probably my favorite was a 14 person camp bunkhouse in a national forest that I had all to myself with a little space heater to get me through the fall chill before hiking over to the main house after work.
My biggest trick is to make sure at the end of the workday you can close a door, shut a curtain, or throw a big sheet over the desk so that you have some physical separation between work and home.
