The Kaweco Brass Sport is made of solid brass with a raw finish that develops a natural patina over time. The elegant octagonal shape has been in use since 1883 and can be refilled with ink cartridges over a lifetime of use.
Even though this particular project likely would have been built with or without a pandemic, de la Vega acknowledges that there’s an uptick in the number of people looking for this type of home-office solution. "We think that the tini office gives you both high-quality design and the much-needed separation between work and home," he says.
The base price for tini’s 215-square-foot structure is $33,800, while the larger, 366-square-foot unit starts at $48,000. However, this tini model came in at $68,000, including transport, due to the premium materials used. "This one is more expensive than usual as the client requested a design with more glass and a Cor-Ten steel frame," explains de la Vega. The result is a working environment featuring warm interiors that maximize every possible corner, stunning views, and a wonderful contrast between the Cor-Ten steel and surrounding greenery of the yard.
