Working at home in your slippers can be a real drag. When you look forward to the ring of the door bell from a wandering lonely salesman, it’s time to find an office.

And when it comes to real estate, the experts always say, location, location, location. The ownable Work Lofts at 200 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach caught our eye because they are everything we want in a homey office environment without feeling like an airless corporate library.

Each unit is between 300 and 400 square feet which makes it perfect for the solopreneur or a couple who want to keep the office separate from home. We’re angling for a his and hers work loft across the hall from each other.

The modern minimalist work lofts look and feel so serene, it is the kind of inspiring space where you might write the next great American novel or solve global warming.

The units have floor to ceiling windows to take in the Hermosa Beach, California scenery, wood beamed ached ceilings, windows that actually open (gasp!), personal lockers for your surfboard and other toys (no need to junk up your personal retreat), a shower so you can surf at lunch without your next appointment knowing and a planted roof with teak furniture where you can take all of your important calls. Many of the units have ocean views and balconies.

Built using 70 percent recycled steel and wood from a sustainable Indonesian forest, the modern architecture development complies with LEED certification.

Pricing to be determined. The project is due to be completed in Q1 2009.
