Call me mad. Call me crazy. But I woke up one day around three months or more ago and decided to completely renovate my home study.
Ideas came to me quickly and obviously all are Apple Store inspired.
The Apple pillar structure complete with lit up Apple logo and built-in LCD screen is the room’s feature. I run my Apple TV into this screen and often just let it run through the screensaver (I prefer Photo Wall setting with some of my holiday snap shots and some nice easy-listening music during light work).
I had a replica made of the Fetzer Maple Wood Desk incorporating the interlocking pattern. Only difference is the drawers are real on mine.
Replica Product Cabinet complete with most (not all) of my Apple products I have bought over the years and managed to retain their boxes. I currently have 20+ operational iThings (unabashed boast!!)
In-wall Samsung LED TV runs my 24-hour news feeds. I watch CNN International, BBC World, and I find anti-Obama Fox News very entertaining (For the record, I’m not anti-Obama and quite like the guy).
Shelves are silver anodized and heat-treated for soft shine and finish and more importantly to match the Store cabinets. Every last detail was important to a crazy person like me.
Found this nice design wire-hung light panel to brightly light up the room and give it a spacious feel of the Apple Store.
All I need now is a nice personable gentlemen to don a blue Apple sweater and serve my every whim…”tea or coffee sir?”
One thing I can’t show well in a picture (or I’m just too dumb a photographer to know how to), is that all four walls are glass panels. The wall facing me as I sit is a non-reflective matt finish so I don’t have to see my ugly face as I work. But the remaining three walls are clear glass. 90% of the walls have a white undercoat to give the room a sense of spaciousness, with 10% in Ferrari red to add a little bit of life. Hong Kong apartments are small and this room measures only 2m x 2m, however, the height by comparison is high at over 3m. The concept for glass arose from my passion for using Blue Sky charts and I intend to use the rear wall as a whiteboard to chart things related to projects I’m working on both at work and my personal projects.
If you’ve read up to the end here, I appreciate you stopping by so I could share with you my project that was finally completed after 3 months. If there are any would-be Apple Store Home Office dreamers out there, don’t dream anymore and take the plunge like I have. I am happy to offer any advice based on my experience.
I am not a designer nor a decorator by profession.
WOW! this looks SICK! how did you get that black pillar up there with the apple logo? It just looks stunning!
Yes, I second that. How did you get that Apple logo on their? Is it a true Apple Logo cut out (I’m assuming with back lighting?) or is it just a fluorescent white sticker?
it looks like one of the displays from BestBuy. I’m wondering if they threw one out and he grabbed it. Normally Apple has stuff like that destroyed. I guess it can be fabricated fairly easy as well.
Dude you’er a f**kin clown if you spent that much on Apple products, HAH. I feel bad for your kids cause their dad is a total moron and an unfit father.
Dude – take a deep breath. Relax.
It’s the best thing i’ve ever seen for a home setup. I want!
awesome !
Dude awesome room, but you have……a Samsung TV!
EPIC FAIL
Yes you are right, especially now after the verdict. But they still buy key parts from Samsung for the iPhone and iPad so in the same way they keep that separate, my excuse is that I also keep it separate. But know one thing, if they ever come out with that iTV, I’m swapping the Samsung out in a heartbeat.
LOL Dude you’er a f**kin clown if you spent that much on Apple products, HAH. I feel bad for your kids cause their dad is a total moron and an unfit father.
Dude, he is asian! Give him credit!
Why would a samsung tv be a fail..
dont get it
because there is no apple television..
Apple fandom supposes that anything Samsung present in my room is a fail because they are locked in a lawsuit. I guess people feel I should have bought a different brand TV.
The desk is made from scratch. Not real interlocking to keep costs down and it is dyed using templates and left overnight to soak into the wood. Them varnished over the top. Chinese maple wood was used to closely match the Apple desks which are made from US maple. The Chinese maple is slightly lighter in color.
Love this.
I understand how you did the table and shelf, but I’m stumped on how you made the apple metal enclosure (for the tv)? Any incite on how you had it made / made it yourself?
The black structure is a blatant copy of the In-Department store Apple stores here in Hong Kong complete with Apple lit logo, in-built TV, and even the speaker holes are the same. Their structures are made of wood and so is mine.
Dude you’re the reason why our economy is in shambles. You got enough time and money to put up this stupid blog? You need to stop sending money overseas and get back to work!
The pillar is not a metal enclosure. The entire thing is made of three-quarter inch thick wood. Not unlike making a clothes cabinet actually. The front panel is hung onto four hinges from the inside so they are hidden. The Apple logo is half-inch clear acrylic with white translucent sticker underneath and flanked by three vertically-oriented flourescent tubes attached to the inside back wall. The TV is also attached to the inside back wall. I made a recess underneath the TV measuring 325mm in height initially to hold a few books. if i could do it again, I would not make this recess.
u should have a mini bar and call it the genius bar!
Looks great! Where did you find that light panel?
Thanks! I had the light panel specially made. I had a designer render the shape and a friend who runs a company building brand store window displays to make it.
Sad…. why would you want to make your home office look like a shop?
Good question. It was more a design challenge/project rather than wanting it to be a shop. I chose the Apple store theme as their stores are designed to inspire through simplicity and clarity so I wanted to create a room that would inspire new ideas for my company and also personal projects I work on.
That’s an easy answer. The apple store is not just another retail store. It’s a work of art unto itself. So David has created a work of art for his home. Any apple devotee would understand that.
Just as long Apple doesn’t try to sue you for copyright infringement, you’re ok. (I love it!!)
very abstract and yet comfortable to operate in such an environment. Love what you did with your home office.
I am disturbed
That chair doesn’t look very comfortable!
Ain’t found one I am happy with yet. Will swap it out the instant I do.
Love the setup for a home office, but I’d be more than curious to ask the cost of a remodel like this for a personal setup. This would be a dream of a home office for myself, and possibly a future project if life allows.
It was around HK$100,000 (US$12,820). I think with more effort at the negotiating table, I believe it can be accomplished for no more than $10,000. Bear in mind these are Hong Kong & China costs as things are much cheaper here in Asia as I’m sure you know.
Hey david, how do you aspire to aspire? Recursive aspirations? Sounds to me like a lame excuse cause you got conned into buying a bunch of Apple junk. LAYME!

David,
). Thank you for inspiring me with an idea on how to display my Apple gear as well as increase the wow factor of my study.
I, like you, have a very large number of all things Apple, starting with the original Mac+ (I am just a bit older
Looks great. Apart from the electronics, how much time did you end up spending on collecting/making all of the furniture and also how much money? Estimates would do.
I am mostly interested in the table and the shelf and would like to see how you got them made. Thanks.
From when I conceived the idea, through planning and to eventual completion was 3 months. Desk is around HK$12,000 but I can’t find the breakdown for the cabinet right now. I didn’t spend too much effort at the negotiating table as I was more interested in getting the furniture design perfect without constraints. My friend is a decorator for some big brand names and does their store window displays. He took on this request/job of mine in his own time.

Like all obsessions, they are a teeny tiny bit unhealthy.
Where did you get the desk?
Designed it myself. Had a friend who is a builder make it specially.
I’d love to know how you got that table made. I have been searching for one like the Apple Stores forever now and maybe custom is the way to go. Any advice on it? Or anywhere to find them online?
I searched online before and only found one company that made the desks but they were in the US and charged up to US$8000. Asides from them, and as far as I can tell, there is nowhere to buy this desk. You have to be lucky to have a friend who is a carpenter and does it as a living so he has the network to find the right materials and labour to make it for you.
Can I ask how much this all cost?
The entire room cost me about HK$100,000 (which is around US$13,000)
well done…. wish i had an apple store in singapore… hmmm
Even though it looks great, but judging by all the money you’ve spent on that kind of stuff makes me totally ignore your Kickstarter campaign. Itdoesn’t seem like you’re in need of funding..
Simply beautiful
Very Nice! Where did you get all the packaging? Although being an Apple addict myself, I wouldn’t find it odd to have 11 iPhones!
I did say I was crazy…

Wow! What an unimaginative imbecile.
Wow! Absolutely nothing “sad” about your design! What a great, calm workspace. It is great how it reflects things you are passionate about (Apple products and design, your family pictures, etc.). Your walls are genius too! Great job!
Very fun undertaking it looks like and you got out of it someplace comfortable to work. The haters will criticize, but I do not know many that work from home that would not appreciate the clean workspace you have built.
One thing I dislike about having the printer on the desk is that when printing a project having that printer work always vibrates the table, and I like to have the printer on its own isolated table. You have a great opportunity to build a nice wood enclosure for the printer to really clean up that desk.
Thanks for the advice. I have since moved my printer to the floor underneath the desk.
Steve is moving a little bit right now, just he is a little bit honoured right now
One more thing: Great job!
Where did you get the desk? I really want one, though it’s probably out of my price range.
I had the desk made specially based on my specifications. Cost me HK$12000 (around US$1500) but it really depends on what style, size, and quality you’re looking for. It can be made for cheaper I believe. Bear in mind these are Hong Kong/China prices.

Not dummy boxes. All real. I did say I was crazy after all…
Really? You must be filthy rich.
You put all that in a 6.56 foot by 6.56 foot room.
The drawers on the tables in the apple store are real too, but they are cash drawers, can’t open without an Easypay.

Lovely work. Looks like you’ve got a great office for creative work.
Can you elaborate on how you put the black structure together? Material used, finish, internals?
Wow, you sure are a brand whore.
this is by far the best office setup ever. I’m just wondering how many iPhones have you bought?
I lose count now. When it wasn’t available in China I used to buy loads from Hong Kong for my China friends on their behalf. Most of them let me keep the boxes.

What do mean by the drawers on your desk are real? So are the ones at the Apple Store, only they are locked cash drawers. ;-p
Yes I know that now. Just when I checked the ones in-store, they didn’t open and I didn’t know about the EasyPay as I don’t think we have that payment method in Hong Kong yet.
Very impressive! But do you really own 10 iPhone 4′s?
My family has 5. The rest were bought in Hong Kong on behalf of friends in China when it wasn’t available in China yet.
This is amazing. Great Job!

Without wishing to offend, snark, or otherwise indulge in the usual net standard of vicious ad hominem attacks against total strangers, I must confess I’m horrified.
The notion of copying a corporate environment in one’s home suggests an emotional, spiritual, and aesthetic bankruptcy so profound as to lead to ontological quandaries such as self-rape.
Truly disturbing.
No, what’s actually disturbing are people like you. Would I do this in a million years? No. But he did something he felt passionate about. Nobody was hurt. It gave him pleasure. Maybe he’s inspired by Apple’s innovation, philosophy, culture, and products. Many people are. The extreme words you use are unecessary and ridiculously hateful, to describe a project such as this. Self-rape? Seriously? People have set up shrines to much weirder shit, and stuff much less worthy of praise.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
See that little safety switch on the side of your thesaurus? That should be on at all times.
No – you sound really disturbed, like mentally disturbed. Please take a long look into the mirror before making such judgmental claims on anyone, no less on a person you have not met or know in person. Your display of arrogance of high horse needs a lot of toning down and acceptance of understanding different people around you.

Really, really impressed. What an inspiring environment!
With all the custom furniture I bet it’s an expensive office. Any idea how much you spent (excluding electronics)?
About HK$100,000. (around US$12,820)
SAMSUNG TV???
Awesome room! All those custom pieces of furniture must have been expensive. How much was the desk? And is this a home office or a workplace office?
Desk was around HK$12,000 (around US$1500). This is my home office.
I am green with envy. This is the most awesome home office I have ever seen. Congratulations. Wonderful job, you are inspiring. Now, #1) you are not ugly. In fact, you are quite a handsome man! #2) the tall black pillar w/ the LED screen is genius. #3) turn off fox news!!!! You may think it is entertaining, in fact it is toxic!!!

Dude what’s wrong with you? Don’t you have a personality? What’s your company in to? Selling apple products? Do you work for them? C mon
In keeping with my promise to answer all comments that have a question, I will attempt to answer these questions to the best of my ability. I don’t mean to offend in any way.
1. Dude what’s wrong with you?
Well, I could be a better husband, father, and Son. I do try and somedays I improve and other days I make mistakes. At work, I try to be as fair as I can but I do end up being too assertive sometimes and wanting my own way. With my friends, I guess I can contact them more often and care about them more. There are many other things that I consider are wrong with me but I aim to improve every day. The other day, I saw an old lady cross the road, and I didn’t help her.
2. Don’t you have a personality?
I think I do. I try to live life as happy as I can be and also try to infect that on others. Doesn’t always work with everyone but such is the fascination of mankind. We are all from the same origin, just that everybody’s different.
3. What’s your company into?
We design, develop, and build video gaming accessories, smartphone & tablet accessories, and mood lighting products. All manufactured in China and sold all over the world.
4. Selling Apple products?
Yes.
5. Do you work for them?
No.
6. C mon
OK, where are we going?
That last one was a joke. Sorry…just trying to keep this light-hearted, but seriously, your points are all valid and I respect them. You keep me on my toes. Thank you for your honest comments.

Your comment in regards to your drawers being “real” and the ones in the apple stores being not real catches me off guard..
of course the drawers in the apple store tables are real…
sorry if I confused your statement but that is what it sounded like you were saying
I didn’t know that the drawers opened with EasyPay. Thanks for edifying me.
You are mad! But in the very best way

It’s Just incledible! Congrats!
I understand completely and I agree simplicity and clarity. Clean lines and crisp design. From: Nova Scotia, Canada.
This is great! I am definitely going to try and get some of this in my own home office.
I would like to commend you on a job well done! A very inspired home-office design, indeed!
Absolutely love it – you’ve done a great job. Would you be at all interested in writing a tutorial type thing of the materials you used and things to help people, like myself, who are interested in doing a similar thing?
Thanks!
Thanks! I’m not sure how I would go about writing a tutorial. Seems like a great idea as I would love to help others.
I love it! I thought of doing similar but I wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to go about it.
Beautiful! Do you do contract work?
I would love to redesign my office like this! Not only is this a stunning work, but I admire your dedication to accomplish such a big project. You are very inspiring.
Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I’m not a decorator nor builder. It was just a one-time personal project.

You can’t buy this set up in Hong Kong. I designed the room and had each piece specially made to my specifications. Research was easy. Just visit the Hong Kong Store.
This is awesome! Amazing how well you’ve used the space!
did you consider swapping out the tiles to the gray ceramic (not sure on material) tiles that are found in many apple atores ? also perhaps the removal of the base moldings would give your office a more streamlined and zen-like look…just a thought.
The gray metallic wall I considered but felt it would have made the small space look smaller and claustrophobic. Oh My God, you’re absolutely right about the base moldings. I can’t believe I missed that. Thanks!

HI,
this is really awesome and leads me to some modification of my office? Could you please tell me how you made the black wall? Is it made of wood? I would also be interested how can I get such a table.
thanks and enjoy working
The pillar is all wood with four sides and painted black. The front panel hooks onto four metal hinges from the inside so they are concealed. The Apple light is made of clear acrylic and there are three one-foot fluorescent tubes oriented vertically on the inside back wall that lights up the logo. The LED TV is secured and positioned also from the inside back panel. I added the opening underneath the TV initially to showcase some of my favorite books. I don’t recommend this if you’re looking for a clean simple look.
I think I will build this pillar for my room. Could you please share some more photos ot the pillar? Or could you send me them via Mail? I think you see my adress

Well all I can say is that I’m not doing this for any commercial benefit, as in I’m not making any financial gain from this room. Except for a little personal internet exposure (or notoriety based on some people’s comments), it’s just one little room in my little apartment. I don’t know. Somehow I don’t see this as being anywhere on Apple’s legal radar. But who knows, hey?

David, your home office space with the Apple Store theme is like the ultimate “mancave” for the dude who loves Apple. What you’ve done is like what sports fans do in turning their personal private space in their home (den, office, garage, whatever) into their own personal “mancave” packed with all sorts of memorabilia but it’s all Apple in your situation. The only one bit from all this that would be the closest for me would be my collecting and displaying Apple boxes!!! Ignore all the haters out there who don’t understand what you’re doing. Cheers to you from California!

Wonderful! Good job, David.
A veru beautiful place !!! Et c’est un français qui le dit, donc forcément il a le goût sûr
I’ve got to say this is a really nice set up. You deserve a lot of respect for the work you put into it.

Totally crazy! Special wood and light? I didn’t know Apple stores have this material!

Hmm, what a good idea, but why Samsung LCD monitor
Regardless of the Patent disputes, Samsung currently make the best design HDTVs in my opinion. But if Apple ever comes out with their iTV, I’m swapping out the Samsung in a heartbeat!
Wow that’s awesome!!! Can you show us a pic of the whole room.? I have a home office that I too want to remodel and now you’ve given me some ideas to make it clean and decorative.
The photos on my blog capture already 90% of the room. I just didn’t shoot the doorway, or the entire back wall which is just another three panes of clear glass with white undercoating. The room was not ideal as it doesn’t have windows, which to me is essential for any room. But I had no other rooms that I could use. This also contributed to my decision to use glass for the walls to create a larger and brighter atmosphere. Oh, and one more thing, I didn’t show the air con unit. Instead of fitting the glass around the air con unit, or cutting a hole in the glass for the air con unit, I removed the air con unit altogether, fitted the glass with the unit’s screw points already drilled out of the glass, and then fitted the air con unit on top of the glass for a cleaner look.

I am not an apple fan, but have to admit it is tidy and classy.
But, you can just change your chair, not very confortable for a desk
Sorry about the chair. I totally agree but it was just my dining room chair to use temporarily. I haven’t found the perfect chair yet but still looking. If I can find more time, I might design the chair myself…😊
Is the table selfbuild? Can you send me the Plans of them to tatra96@yahoo.de please?
Regards
Yes it is self-built as in you cannot buy it as far as I’m aware.
It’s nice to see someone driven to accomplish a want. Nice work. Very happy for you

I’m not an Apple guy, so I don’t care much for that. But, design and execution is awesome. Make that in a Nintendo or Sega (probably Sega, they’re awesome!) theme, and I’d love it even more. Well, done!
Wow! Not only is this a good “Apple-Store” office, it is a good office, period. It is “calm”, clean, bright. Hopefully you have enough desk space to lay out your papers/ books, etc?
I have since moved the printer to the floor underneath the desk. I purposely didn’t want those stacked drawers either side of the desk underneath so placing the printer there was OK for me. Thanks!
EPIC waste of time and money. The design and execution is a rip-off and you should be sued for copyright infringement.
AWESOME!!! Very, very creative… It is not just the designs, but the creativity put into recreating materials for this.
I’d be interested in speaking with your friend that made the furniture. I run an Apple repair biz and would love to have him make some stuff for my shop. Thanks!
My friend only did this for me as a one-time favour. I’m in Hong Kong and everything was built in China. Where are you based?
Do you have any papers in your office? If so, where do you keep your paperwork?
Well, I try to keep my paperwork to a minimum and I don’t use the room to store any previous work. I work on one project at a time. Never two projects together. This minimizes the clutter and also helps me maintain my focus. To this end the two drawers in the table are sufficient for my needs.
I guess you have another office in the building (maybe because you are an Asian). In the Philippines, some maintain a cool kitchen for the “exclusive use” of the lady of the house, and another “dirty kitchen” where the daily meals are prepared by the maids. Just guessing…
I am Asian but am 100% English inside as that is where I was raised and spent more than half my life. I don’t have another office but I wish I did because the rest of my household uses it more than me now!

SO. MUCH. FAGGOTRY.
I think you totally miss an essential point:
Like most of the people you stack your desktop in the darkest corner of the flat, like looking for the best basement-like place.
No window, no plant
my computer stands just right in the middle of a room and I have 2 windows in front, 180 degrees view to relax watching the city, not beeing the head in a wall.
VERY beautiful …… but why? You have done an amazing job but I fail to see the reason behind this. I must be getting “old” …. LOL…. well done. (but still, I find it a little disturbing…… the monolith is a bit over the top.
Hi Bob, it just makes me happy. Thanks!
Watch; he’ll get sued.

Glad to see asians have jobs and make enough $ to build something like this while the white Americans who created the industry are living in tent cities and starving.
FYI, Wakjob, the old white fat American robber barons who have all your money are building things a lot more palatial than a freakin Apple store. Hint: Donald Trump is their poor, lazy cousin.
stunning~

Where’s the glass staircase ???
Hi Big Ben, I originally wanted to make two shelves on the wall with the same glass steps in their staircases but it was too costly and heavy. I searched for an imitation fiberglass replacement but could not find anything to my satisfaction. I know you we’re joking but I thought I’d tell you anyway. Thanks!
Mr. Wu, I am very interested in getting some more intricate detail about your project so that I too may create my own Apple Store replica office. Please email me so we can discuss your project in more detail.
Hi David, I love what you have done with the office. please can you send me a link where I could purchase the iclock.
Thanks,
Dear David, My name is Jon Weeks and I am an undergraduate Journalism student at University College Falmouth in Cornwall, UK. I am currently writing up my dissertation which is based on Apple blogs (The title: iPod to iBlog: How the blogosphere has built up around companies and brands) and I am looking to interview a number of Apple bloggers as part of my study. Are you able to answer a few questions for me if I forward them to you (via email)? It would be a great help to my dissertation! Cheers, Jon
Hi David, Im moving to a new house soon, around june of 2013. Im a big apple fan, i believe you’re, too. I have been searching for some materials and ideas to be given to the interior designer to design my room to be like an apple store. Can u please reply to this post when you see this so that i could ask more about it, if you’re willing to tell me more. My biggest problem is where to find such a glowing apple logo, can you please help me with this. thanks, Koh.
“Think Different”… right ?
Great Job man.. I liked it. actually i’m planning to make it just like you.. i really liked the apple pillar.. i shall be thankful if you could send some more pics on my mail so that i can show the same to my team.
