Every business needs room, furnishings, and a certain loo as each office serves as a symbol of the company’s values, philosophy, and long-term objectives. No wonder big businesses like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft invest billions in designing some of the sexiest workplaces to build their brand identity.
If you’re on the lookout for an office design to spark creativity, productivity, and efficiency among your employees, you’ve come to the right place. From futuristic walkways to boldly colored facades, here are some of the coolest and most innovative office designs in the world that you can take inspiration from:
Shopify
In order to create an outstanding design office, the e-commerce software company Shopify collaborated with a renowned architecture firm when it relocated to a new headquarters in Ottawa, Canada, in 2014. There are many nooks to work in or put your feet up on each of the six floors, which have various themes like Canadiana and streetscapes.
Other rooms on the speakeasy-themed floor include phone booths and arenas in the style of Scandinavian saunas, in addition to this library. Google Calendar can be used by staff to schedule them, and iPads outside the door display the reservations.
Airbnb - New York
Designing a practical office space takes time. Your teams’ individual needs must be balanced, but you also need to consider how your choices will impact corporate culture. A workplace has the potential to motivate staff members and encourage creativity, reflecting the progressive facets of your company. The most popular home-sharing platform in the world, Airbnb, is the ideal illustration of a business that has successfully done that with their office space.
The Airbnb founders emphasised design, openness, and globalism in the workplace, thereby establishing their culture there. Within the Airbnb corporate offices, you can find log cabins, meeting tents, war rooms, and presidential suites to symbolise the variety of homes Airbnb has accepted into their network over the years.
Google - Zurich
You won’t be surprised to see more than one Google office on this list because they are truly amazing locations. But the Zurich offices have to be our favourite of all of its designs. We have no idea how any Google employees manage to complete any work here.
There are areas for employees to play sports, sing and dance, get massages, unwind in a foam-filled bath in the aquarium, enjoy a sky lounge, watch movies in the jungle, climb fireman’s poles, and much more. We also adore the various themed Gondolas that are scattered around and used as meeting spaces. Amazing.
Mindvalley - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The offices of personal growth education company Mindvalley use natural light to create a kaleidoscopic effect of “colored shadows,” painting the space in vibrant hues as the sun moves through the sky. This effect was inspired by the stained glass in Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona, Spain.
The construction of split-level mezzanine platforms by architecture and interior design firm Ideaworkshop increased usable space by more than 30%. Steel and glass structures that resemble jungle gyms give the area a playful feel while also giving workers more privacy. In-office gyms, hypnotherapy rooms, and bed pods for “power naps” are among the wellness amenities. More than 800 plants help the office come to life and lower background noise.
