Calgary designer Alanna Dunn optimizes functionality in an elegant workspace.

The Look: Face to Face

Instead of installing two desks in this Calgary home office, designer Alanna Dunn created one custom, built-in work surface that could accommodate a seat on either side. It extends elegantly from a wall of custom shelving, where a carefully curated selection of personal treasures shines: gold accents add glamour and a blue upholstered message board brings in a hit of colour, while luxe fabric on the twin chairs keeps this office feeling like a beautiful balance of work and play.
