There is a need to separate work from home for those who do have long commutes and don't have the luxury of living near their work environment. I do agree with others though, that the design looks rather shelter-ish on the exterior. I do feel the interior, though, is a warm, welcoming environment, suitable for working long hours (of course you'd have to go into your home for the toilet) and looking at the sketches it actually doesn't appear to be all that small.

I want to go somewhere else, interact with people for a certain amount of time and then go home to a seperate place and people. Old fashioned I know but it works for me. I don’t want to work at home.

But where is the aesthetic integration of that thing with the existing architecture? It looks like a post-war shelter.

This way there is clear distinction between the family part of the dwelling and the work part. Not to mention, of course, that the real distinction of work and home life is more time-orientated anyway. You can't expect people to spend the time they are supposed to be working with their family or it wouldn't be working in the first place!

Also an opportunity to spend more time in the morning and evening with your family instead of taking part in the stressful ratrace of daily life. Presentation could be better, but splendid design!
