Airbnb | Singapore

Designed by (brilliant) local architecture firm Farm, the Airbnb space features several colorful flags and Kopitiam chairs, which are quite prevalent throughout Singapore. One of the consistent and super smart design elements across all of the office is the listing of the rooms. Here’s our favorite aspect of the space — the conference rooms are recreated in the available homes to rent on Airbnb, inspiring and bringing the spirit of travel to both the office and the employees.

Uniplaces | Lisbon, Portugal

Okay, so this gorgeous, green rustic room you’re looking at is actually an open space for a student-housing-market startup which happens to be situated right in the historic Rossio Railway Station. And what’s even more special, is how they magnificently turned the station into a living garden with a wall highlighting the cafe’s arching windows, further enhancing its overall look and feel.

AKQA | Tokyo, Japan

As a digital agency it’s inevitable that the office will be clean-cut, industrial in style, open ceilings, and filled with many straight lines/edges — simplicity. Located slightly underground provides natural lighting which is essential for its architecture firm, Torafu. The office includes an inner tree-lined courtyard, and deeper levels and raised platforms separate the various work zones.

Harmonic | Caesarea, Israel

Pick a room, any room! When video-processing firm Harmonic chose Setter Architects to revamp their office, they strategically opened up the space, creating public passageways for spontaneous gatherings. Many of the work stations are in open areas as well, but there are also private conference rooms/work areas for those who need to concentrate.

Etsy | Brooklyn, New York

If we told you that Etsy’s new Brooklyn office is basically one big hand-made creation, would you be surprised? From the lining of the walls to various fixtures hanging from the ceilings, Etsy has crafted their space to mimic their offering — hand-crafted artwork. The combination of art and nature is always a good idea, it brings liveliness not only to the space but to the workers as well. With sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, the office has plenty of plants, shrubbery, and living green walls.

De Alliantie | Hilversum, Netherlands

Let there be light! The chalky/earthy-colored facade light brightly glistens the atrium’s stairwells and elevator bank, adding an amazing contrast to the rest of the De Alliantie’s bold interiors. The open walls allow natural sunlight to enter all spaces of the office including the zig-zagging stairwells and balconies. Which by the way are great places to take a quick break or chat with your coworkers.

VCG | Riga, Latvia

The receptionist’s desk was painted using mood-themed colors such as silver, black, and white colors to convey a certain theme, look, and feel. These deep, yet basic colors compliment the room’s modernity. The curved stainless steel desk endlessly reflects the focal point in the room, the patterned carpet.

Lego | Billund, Denmark

Say no more, every Lego’s enthusiasts dream palace, or dream office, has finally come to life. The Lego office in Denmark is built exactly how you think/picture it would be – playing with Lego’s is encouraged any day of the week, at any hour of the day. The office and its innovative/playful atmosphere truly gives a new meaning to “work hard, play hard”.

ThinkGarden | Milan, Italy

Hands down, this has got to be one of the most rejuvenating and nature-friendly offices ever. The thought of being “trapped” in a cubicle all day, a cubicle with no windows, is enough for someone to take a sick day. So, why not bring nature, and all it’s beauty, inside? The ThinkGarden office in Milan is (essentially) one big garden. Stone-shaped bags, shrubbery, and large exotic plants, flowers ,and trees have been placed right inside the office. And get this, the office walls have been designed to make you feel like you’re in the middle of an enchanted forest — cool!

Pallota TeamWorks | Los Angeles, California

“Thinking outside the box” has never been a more accurate phrase, until now. The Pallota TeamWorks office in L.A. is the result of a low-budget, innovation, and a highly creative mindset. In order to create several office spaces within a larger warehouse, your basic shipping containers were strategically customized to fit just right. An aesthetically super cool office.

Dtac Headquarters | Bangkok, Thailand

Communication is not only an important factor for the Dtac Headquarters in Bangkok, but it was also the designers main focus. In order to maximize communications, the HQ was developed with the following approach: playing and learning is equally effective as it is fun. The library amphitheatre, conversation pit, and picnic tables are some areas which help enhance communications. Oh not to mention the “fun floor” — an indoor soccer field, table tennis, running track and even concert space!

Dropbox | San Francisco, California

With more than 500 million global users and over 900 employees, Dropbox is (simply) a powerhouse in the online industry. The Dropbox HQ, located in San Francisco (California), is fully equipped with all your basic/essential office supplies plus way, way more! The inclusions of a full gym and a cafe with a world-famous chef enables employees to both live and work happily and healthily. Oh, and the best part is how employees get around, or should we say skate around. Because the office is one big open space, employees can skate from one area to another as they please.

Nokia | Espoo, Finland

Situated right outside of Helsinki, Finland’s capital, is the Nokia headquarters. Established in 1865, Nokia may seem like it’s disappeared due to the invasion of smart phones, but this highly successful technology business is still up-and-running. Bright colors and abstract sculptures occupy Nokia’s HQ space, in attempt to promote creativity. While we’re not sure, we really hope that there’s (at least) one interactive room dedicated to playing Snake! #bringbacksnake

Urban Outfitters | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Okay, you may want to take a seat for this next one, because wow! Just, wow. So, in 2006 Urban Outfitters employees packed their things and moved from five different buildings of about 100,00 square ft, to a run-down navy shipyard in Philadelphia. The 350,000+ square foot project provides an epic backdrop for the brands it houses to call home. The iconic office design celebrates both the history of the Navy Yard and the retailer’s modern culture via camouflaging the old and the new. The industrial materials, open spaces and large windows allow a vast amount of natural light, which is of course an advantage for fashion designers.

BoomTown | Charleston, South Carolina

BoomTown’s new HQ is an urban renewal project. Thanks to the Raven Cliff Company (design team), the warehouse was reconstructed into a bright spacious office, providing flexible working areas for easy and effective collaboration sessions. Also, the several large gathering areas, quaint/different meeting rooms, and custom-made amenities like a bar, cafeteria, and even a dog park are clear indicators of why this dog-friendly office made our list. A custom-built dog park, please and thank you! Everything that the building includes reflects BoomTown’s motives, personality, and work values.

Etnetera | Prague, Czech Republic

Numerous collaboration zones, stadium-like seating, meeting rooms, cafeteria, and complete gym are just some of the awesome amenities of Etnetera’s new sleek Prague office. The space’s well-balanced mix of wood, white walls, open ceilings, and greenery brings a good energy to the office, as well as looks clean and highly organized. Plus, it’s a big incentive for employees to get up and go to work – fun, friendly, and professional all combined in one space.

HBO | Seattle, Washington

In order to keep Seattle’s unique look and feel, since it’s one of the coolest cities in America, HBO’s new office was built with aesthetic materials such as rope ceilings, raw steel, and exposed wood. AS HBO is comprised of many different key departments/teams, each work area is reconfigured depending on the tasks at hand. For example, writable wall surfaces and tiny touchdown areas provide space for the teams’ daily stand-ups. Also, what we love about this Pacific Northwest office is how their furnishings are adapted towards a hospitality, friendly environment, bringing a distinct yet not cliche sense of style.

ZEO Alliance | Kiev, Ukraine

Difference zones represented by separate cubes/boxes is just one of the reasons that Kiev’s ZEO Alliance office has made our list. The explanation behind these “zones” isn’t about it looking cool, but instead its the way it soundproofs the space. In addition to these peaceful secluded “study spaces”, Soesthetic Group designed each floor as its own color and name in accordance to the alphabet. For example, “Allience” (A) is the first floor, “Believe” (B)) is the second floor, and so on. Moreover, majority of the essential features, the furniture, and various decoration elements were made exclusively for this office in Kiev.

Selgas Cano Architecture | Near Madrid, Spain

Okay before you open up a new tab and try to send your CV to whatever company this is, first hear us out. This is (clearly) not your typical office for numerous reasons, but a main one being that it’s actually an architecture firm and not a company office. The Selgas Cano Architecture firm is rightly a brilliant masterpiece, bringing man and nature together. Built into the ground, surrounded by trees, and glass walls/windows make working in the woods a real thing. Let’s just hope that thunderstorms and/or natural disasters are a rarity.

Razorfish | Berlin, Germany

Architects Bruzkus Batek have revamped the Razorfish office in Berlin, Germany using comprehensive material and spatial conception, working harmoniously with existing elements of the building’s structure. The office is comprised of two different levels which is connected by a bright yellow freestanding staircase, located in the center area. Right below the staircase is an extensive bookshelf and above it, on the upper level, is the actual office, including light-metal framed desks. “Less is more” seems to be the concept, bringing a simple yet exciting feel to the design and space.
