workrooms

Where projects happen

Workrooms are rooms set aside for work, especially hands-on or creative labor.

A seamstress has a workroom with sewing machines and fabric; an artist's workroom holds supplies and works in progress.

The term suggests a functional space for making things rather than an office for paperwork: The tailor's workroom was cluttered with patterns and half-finished garments.
