booth preliminary sketch

The basic ideas---

>The half window enables you to see the basketball court but cuts off
the undesirable view of the trash cans.

>Those shelves in front of the windows (they're actually supposed to
go all the way up) could be either glass or wood. The idea here is to
have a place for containers of workshop items like screws and glue and
little things in boxes. In front of the window you could put glass
things which would reflect light in interesting ways. The items on the
shelf are also supposed to be a kind of "curtain" enabling you to
control the view in and out. (see bottom reference picture)

>I put in the stud on the side of the shelves to hold them up. See I
thought about structure! It also becomes a kind of mini wall which
helps to enclose the booth. One flaw of this design is that we lose
about 2 inches of space for the stud. It's not possible to make that
just a 1" piece of wood or something is it?

>The booth seat would be storage

>There is a framed area at the top of the booth to enclose it, but
it's not a soffit for variety's sake. Also to create more of a sense
of enclosure.

>the desktop could be something like butcher block. The overhang is
to match the rest of the house.
