It is always a great idea to draw design inspirations from renowned companies. The best offices let employees focus while allowing them to take a break and unwind simultaneously. This is why the interior design of these companies will give you an idea as to how you can provide the best of both worlds through your designs. Let’s take a look at the interiors of some of the most famous offices
Googleplex
Google’s headquarters, located in Mountain View has over 2,000,000 square feet of office space. The design is a perfect mix of sprawling, and whimsical, acting as a trailblazer to the modern, dreamy workplace that places importance on collaborative efforts and mixed–use spaces.
Work areas for groups are often encased with minimalistic glass screens as a noise buffer. The office interior design includes lots of collaborative spaces and open areas. It is divided into 13 zones characterized from hot to cold, based on the amount of employee interaction and how space was used.
The design varies from landmarks to zones of activity to circulation routes. There are also designs for glass tents to keep up with the rapid pace of expansion, and very few individual offices. It has a highly personalized design that stimulates the creative mind.
