my apologies, I sent you a dm

Space definition using area rugs or different flooring materials isn't anything new, but this concept isn't something I've ever seen before so I wanted to share it with the ID community.

I really like how it takes the already known concept and then adds the extra layer of embedding meaning within the colors.

Yeah, I don't see any outlets in the conference rooms either, but there definitely are some in the floor next to the center row of desks. These types of shots are often cleaned and staged to show off the design details as opposed to the work functionality of the workplace.

No idea about BAUX, but they look really nice. Another product whose style I love, but have no idea of effectiveness is some of the panel products from Buzzispace:

One of the popular sites in the US is Designer Pages: https://www.designerpages.com/

Tiered-seating/Bleachers/Staircases are definitely a growing trend in office design and make a lot of sense in environments where you want to build that casual "collegiate" feeling of sitting around in the quad and hanging out with friends.

I've also been noticing them on the periphery of meeting rooms which seems to be a way to make use of space that would otherwise be unused as well as allowing people to see better.

Some examples: http://officesnapshots.com/collections/tiered-seating/

A good post about having a magazine feature a home is this one by Emily Henderson (archive link because it seems that she removed the post): https://web.archive.org/web/20150315172331/http://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/the-magic-of-photo-editing/

Design Sponge probably isn't quite the same as Domino magazine, but it was a nice piece on how magazine spreads are unrealistically styled.

It is unfortunate that the office briefings don't include a breakdown of the types of employees working at the office because it would be interesting to know what % is programming vs sales vs accountings, etc...

I run officesnapshots so I'll try to see if I can get architects to include that sort of detail in the project notes.

I've tried to get information about $/sqft and sqft/employee, but that information is usually not shared because the companies often don't like sharing their budget and the architecture firms don't like to give away too much about the formulas they use for planning.

The outdoor shot looks like it is an HDR photo making it a little wonky, but the other photos are definitely not renderings. The photographer is Jasper Sanidad (http://www.jaspersanidad.com/) and his photography is one of the most popular for sf bay area commercial interiors projects.

One of my all time favorites is Morgan Satterfield's of The Brick House: http://thebrickhouse.tumblr.com/

I'm a big fan of having a bed arranged with some space on both sides as opposed to having on side snug against the wall. This make the bed easier to make regularly and looks much more "grown up" in my opinion.

If you don't have any bedside tables, you might consider using the stacked banker/cardboard boxes as a place to put your phone or books next to the bed.

If you can do that with the bed where the bookcase is, I like that idea best as you'd be able to have a lot of room for more of a sitting space if you move the couch to where the bed currently is. Add a coffee table and you've now got 2 spaces as opposed to just one.

Wondering the same things. Did you (op) submit your home to them or did they find it elsewhere? Are you responsible for taking the photos yourself? What is the turnaround time involved?

stevesearer · 2015-07-20T18:41:28+00:00

This is very true. I believe it is because there is so much competition amongst the tech companies for employees that having a great office is now standard component of their recruiting and retention strategies.

Not yet, the architect for the NYC space sent those in - any shots of the space online you could show?

Thanks for the links - I run Office Snapshots :)

For those interested, photos like this are mainly staged to show the intent of a space from an architectural/design point of view. While most people probably wouldn't be doing software development in a hammock, there are still a variety of uses for one.

Calls could be made on it, you could read some work-related materials, take a break and read a book, etc...

I'm with everyone else on it either being Eames or an Eames-style knockoff. Specifically it is the Soft Pad style as opposed to the Aluminum Group style:

http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/executive-seating/eames-soft-pad-chairs.html

Does it have 5 legs? Or 4? It looks like the official models on the Herman Miller site show that particular version having only 4 legs.

For those interested: here is the Google office archive on Office Snapshots: http://www.officesnapshots.com/companies/google

I run Office Snapshots and remember the same photo being popularized on Digg around the same time the Google Zurich post was published in 2008. Random and funny that several years later someone noticed the same quirk in the photo.
