Two views of the Jon Crowley work space in his Lefferts Garden, Brooklyn home.

The coffee mug in the foreground of the second photo reminds me of the album cover of the Jakob Bro recording Time, which is more indicative of the level to which jazz fans geek out on album covers than it is of Crowley's choice in kitchenware.

A small music rehearsal room in Chartres-De-Bretagne, France by architect Jean-Marc Rivet.

I enjoy perusing architecture themed sites, just geeking out on the photos. I find the creative design elements as inspirational as a nifty piece of installation art... maybe even more so because of the inherent functionality of the buildings the architecture is part and parcel with.

Anyways, I found the above photo of the rehearsal room on The Architechnophilia blogspot site, and decided it fit close enough with the Work Space theme to post it here.

Cheers.
