Name: Sam Spitzer
Job Title: High School Art Teacher
Location: Lincoln Park; Denver, Colorado

I'd always been envious of the kids at my high school that had 5th period in the "drama tower". I walked past the entrance at least five times a day but never had the courage to wander up there. In my mind, it was freedom. For fifty minutes every day, those kids had the opportunity to break away from the humdrum fluorescent lighting and standard four wall, two windows classroom, to a TOWER. So when I learned over the summer that a good friend on mine was moving his art class up to the tower in his school, I just had to go check it out.

Name: Maurice LaBonte
Location: Lakeview, Chicago
Size: 200 square feet

Maurice recently shared his loft with us (that old Chicago electric substation), and now we get a bright and lively glimpse into his home away from home, the office. This office and tutoring space exudes the best elements of one's home office, yet gives Maurice the distance he needs to work effectively. My instant impression in three words: comfort, fun, function.
