Looking for an office

Working out of home is good because you don't have to go to an office. The keyword is "go" - it is ok to work in an office, but getting there is no fun for us Bangaloreans. But it got to a point when we needed to have a lot of conversations between us and with others, so we really needed an office.Our requirements was simple, a largish room that could accomodate upto 4-5 of us, plus a small meeting room sort of place. I was particular about ventilation and natural light. Working all day with a tubelight makes me cranky. Ideally, the window should look out into some greenery. (I was spolit by many years at Infosys where I always managed to get a corner near a window and looked out at the heavenly gardens/trees.
We had a budget that could meet the rent of a single bedroom house/apartment. We started office hunting in areas from JP Nagar to HSR Layout and upto Adugodi so at the least the two of us didn't have to travel too much. But it looked like there are very few single bed room apts, owners try to add a cubby hole size room, term it a 2nd bedroom and expect 12K. Quite a few houses had rooms without any windows, let alone windows with a view.
Deep in my heart, I do believe it is actually possible to build in small spaces yet provide good ventilation/lighting, though I have never seen such a house!
