That is their statement. People like working in an environment which is conducive to working. It keeps their house a space for relaxing and being with their family. I honestly have no idea why so many people in this thread are so antagonistic and suspicious.

Yes, for many people this is not the office, obviously. There are many variables that the design of an office can not alter. You do not have to force everybody one way or the other. And the answer as to why people are responding with some antagonism is easy: You antagonized them. Your post was, in part, disrespectful in a broad sense.

I absolutely love working in an environment which is conductive to working. That is SO not the office I work in, also designed by so-called "experts". It's an open-office though, and apparently yours is not. I'd be interested to see what it looks like.
