My office today: Our house in Fez

What I like best is the understated minimalism of the place. But seriously, this place is very cool.

We rented it from a man who used his teenage son for translation. I asked the kid how old the house is, and he said: “Everything in Fez is very old — two or three thousand years old.” That’s unlikely, because Fez was founded in the 8th Century. This house is probably no older than 400 years. But still...

It’s a lovely place to work. It has one modern element that most traditional houses lack: tables that you can put your legs under, which is very nice for typing.
