This article presents tips for renovating one's house to create the optimal office space. Persons who have decided to set up their own office space at home are advised to create a comfortable and productive work area. If one do not have a spare room, he/she has to use a part of the living room, dining room or kitchen, where one has two options. The first is to demarcate the work area and make it separate from the rest of the room with a screen or a freestanding shelving system. The other option is to make one's home office as inconspicuous as possible by coordinating it with the rest of the room. Good artificial lighting arrangements are need to be made, if one's house has not a major source of natural light. A productive home office essentially requires a worthy desk space. A good chair, suggestively, is most important piece of home office furniture. Some technological products are essentially required for a modern office.

This reports on the building codes in France that make buildings in Paris better. When the world-renowned architect Jean-Paul Viguier recently won a contract to build a 30-floor Sofitel Hotel in Chicago and a 40-floor office building at La Défense in Paris, the contrast between tough French standards and lax U.S. ones shocked him. French regulations required three times as much ventilation for his Paris tower and twice as much sound-proofing as in Chicago--all the while slashing energy consumption to half U.S. levels. By law, each workerstation in France needed access to natural light--a scarcity in most U.S. offices. As people in the U.S. face an epidemic of sick buildings, they could learn a lot by looking across the ocean. European building regulations begin by stressing the need for fresh air.
