My favourite workspace was when I was just stuffed under a stairwell. There were very few interruptions because the only way to talk to me was to stand in the hallway blocking traffic.
I showed up, got my work done, dicked around with research projects, wandered the halls talking to people about the kinds of issues they were having and offering ad-hoc training, went home. It was more like a hobby than work.
I loved my Harry Potter office when I had it. The door was actually on the back side of the staircase instead of the side, so lots of people didn't even know I was there.
Years ago I worked at a brewery.
They had offices but no spaces available in that part of the facility when I started, so they "made an office" for me in a spare storage room off of a tiny hallway that connected the finishing cellars with the filter room and hop storage room.
It was so out of the way that over a year into the job there were still people who had no idea how to find my office.
Granted there were no windows, and most of the day, the hop centrifuge and filter pumps meant I was immersed in loud droning noise...but until I started working from home in the pandemic, it was the best office I ever had.
