apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love this setup. For me, the cubical always felt too claustrophobic. If you're going to be that cutoff from everyone else, you might as well be working from home.

Love the color scheme as well, light and refreshing.

in a creative/collaborative job, this would work. I however, need more privacy and quiet to write, proofread and take sales calls. And I need more space to lay things out and for storage. Plus, I'm just way to easily distracted to ever work efficiently like that.

looks great to me. We just have one big office for the 4 of us, with 2 of us on a wall.

I would rather have that then being crammed into a little cube/cage.

Much more visually appealing too.

this looks strikingly similar to the set-up in our place . . . we do have a few offices, but they all have sliding doors and open ceilings, so we're still in the loop with the main floor . . . it can get loud sometimes (particularly with a creative group), but it really, really works for us.

looks great, but I honestly would have expected even more from visionaire

I've never really thought cubicles were all that private. You can always hear people's conversations and smell their lunches, so why have a ridiculous half-wall there at all? It'd be nice if they had another room that one could pop into for a phone call or a bit of quiet time.

I'll keep my office. Thanks, though.

It's the kind of office where your mousepad gets lost all the time, your lunch is stolen and beware of smelly people who - (God forbid) - take showers once every month... yes this is very common in a creative environment.

I'm not the neatest person in my office. But my real fear in an office like this would be getting stuck next to the guy who only has three inches of empty desk space.
Completely unrealistic that it would be this clean all the time.

Never mind the setup. The remix of Michael Jackson's Rock With You on the home page of the companies website is wicked!!

But I do love the layout as well!

hmm...looks good....sounds good...would NEVER work. I work in a creative "office" where there is CAD designing happening and people are painting or cutting up huge posters and boards for presentations. People can be so nosy...some days I pray for a cubicle. Especially if you're just not feeling so great and you just want to come in and get your work done but everyone around you wants to know what's wrong and then give your their (1,700) opinions of your condition. Yeah I guess I'm having one of those days.

It looks neat, and better than my cube, but how do you make a phone call to your client...?

this is precisely how we work here... one large "studio" space, a private conference room, a bathroom and a multipurpose room for in-house photo shoots, paper samples, storage, etc...

granted, there are only 4 of us, with three of us sitting at long tables like above and my boss with his own desk in the corner... i love working like this.

client calls? you take them at your desk like normal, and everyone knows not to cause a riot in the background. if multiple people are on the phone, we simply utilize our conference room.

There isn't a single sound-absorbing surface in that entire room. The din must be incredible.
