10 seeeeeriously cool workplaces

office

Physical space matters. It’s easier to be productive, creative and happy at work in a colourful, organic, playful environment than in a grey, linear, boring one.

And I’m not talking about the outside of the building. Many companies have buildings that are sleek, modern, architectural glass-steel-and-cement sculptures on the outside – and cubicle wastelands on the inside. These companies need to remember that most employees tend to work inside the building.

With that in mind, here’s some eye candy from 10 different innovative, well-designed workplaces.

(Also check out my post on 12 Ways to Pimp Your Office).

Pixar

Could you sit in grey cubicles and come up with stuff like The Incredibles and Finding Nemo? Naaaaah… And that’s why Pixar’s offices look more like this:

pixar2 pixar3

pixar1

The last picture shows a row of little huts, each of which is an office. The pictures are from this cool photo tour of the Pixar HQ.

Kathy Sierra’s trailer

Kathy Sierra, who writes one of the best blogs in existence, created her home office in a vintage trailer.

trailer2

trailer3

What a great way to create a fun, different home office. Kathy talks about it here.

Red Bull London

Here are some pictures from Red Bull’s London office. Shiny!

redbull3

The last picture shows a slide that people can use to go between floors. Yee-hah! There are many more pictures here.

Mindlab

Who says government offices must be boring. Mindlab at the Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs in Copenhagen, Denmark is a meeting facility available to all employees.

mindlab1 mindlab2

mindlab3 mindlab4

The heart of it is an egg-shaped meeting room inside which all the walls are whiteboards – you can write on any surface in there. This was designed by Bosch & Fjord.

The Happy At Work Project

We (=The Happy At Work Project) wanted something simple, fun, flexible and practical for our office. The central piece is a high desk where three people can comfortably work side by side. You can stand or sit on high office chairs. Up to 8 people can meet around it. Everything you see there is from IKEA, and setting up the whole office with workspaces for 3 people cost us about 1000 euros.

While it’s not as fancy as some of the other offices shown here, it works great and it shows how much you can do for almost no money – In just one room we have workplaces, meeting space and plenty of floor space for workshop exercises or plain old fun.

Conference bike

conferencebike

conferencebike2

This has got to be the coolest idea in a long time. 7 people pedal along, one steers. It’s the conference bike and I want one!! While it’s not a workplace, it would make a great meeting room!!

Menlo Innovations

Menlo Innovations is a software development company in Ann Arbor Michigan. They do all their programming work using eXtreme Programming, and while their offices aren’t particularly fancy to look at, they are ideally suited to the work they do.

Menlo Innovations Menlo Innovations

Being situated in a nice area of town, they can even take meetings outside on the sidewalk. Again, this shows that creating a fun, innovaticve office environment doesn’t require a huge budget – just a little common sense, creativity and a willingness to risk doing something different.

What If? Innovation

What If? Innovation were celebrated as the UK’s happiest workplace in both 2004 and 2005. I visited their London HQ last week for a grand tour, and here are some of the highlights:

What If? Innovation
Looking in the window on the combined reception and meeting space. A great idea that creates a hub for everyone in the company.

What If? Innovation
Praise for employees is written across the walls and ceiling in the hub area.

What If? Innovation What If? Innovation
Spider cow and a meeting room.

VW Phaeton plant

But what about industry? You could never create, say, a really cool car assembly plant could you?

Sure you could. Check out the Volkswagen Phaeton plant in Dresden, Germany:

VW plant in Dresden

VW plant in Dresden

VW plant in Dresden

Who says a factory has to be ugly and dirty? That plant is simply beautiful! The photos were taken from this photo tour where you can see many more cool pictures. There’s also more at the plant’s website.

Google

Yes, yes, I know – using Google here is almost too predictable. But they get it, dammit! Their HQ, the Googleplex is seriously cool and creative.

The Googleplex The Googleplex

The upshot

The physical workspace is one of the most ignored, yet most important factors in creating good workplaces. None of the ideas shown here will apply to every company, but most companies could stand to improve a little. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money but it does take a little creativity and courage.

What could your workplace learn from some of the designs shown here?

UPDATE: Having this post on reddit, digg and lifehacker at the same time was too much for my server and mysql crashed – I apologize. I’ll look into fixing this, so it won’t be a problem in the future.

I’ve also created a flickr set with all the images of cool workplaces.

    [...] Lovely article about offices and workplaces with some innovative and creative designs . I have recently been using my flat as a meeting room ( Evil – Microsoft has a bit on meetings on its blogs atm) , its been working really well especially since a lot of the work has been finishing late in the evenings and we would have been chucked out of most official places and I would face a long journey home . Letting people into your home though you do have to get used to having your life on display and propensity among some to open cupboards and drawers however I think on the whole its been good for me to let go of the privacy a bit ( and buy a padlock for the trunk ). Trying to get a nice balance at the moment between using the office in town ,working from home and travelling….. think it may be working though certain days are sacrosanct for vege-box delivery , farmers market visits .

    Owen: Exactly, it matter immensely and I hope people will be inspired to spruce up their own workplaces, be it the home office or the corporate HQ.

    Furnace: How could I forget Interpunk :o) The wokplace looks cool and fun – but some of the people look scaaaaary :o)

    Kareem: Man, that’s another cool workplace. With so many cool ones out there, why would we ever settle for grey and boring again!

    [...] Anyone who has worked in various types of work environments can attest to the fact that the comfort and stimuli of the environment can make all the difference in the world in how productive and happy one is at work. The new space Worrell moved into a little over a year ago was definitely a shot in the arm in terms of employee invigoration and everyone’s been extremely proud and excitied to show new clients and friends around the studio. While I’d definitely call our environment “cool,” some of the ten spaces profiled in the Chief Happiness Officer blog look downright fun. From the slide that takes one between floors in the sleek, ultra modern Red Bull London office to the “little hut” offices inside of Pixar studios, these places are almost like an adult playgrounds. There are some less zany spaces, but the entire collection is definitely well-designed and inspiring. Give it a look (warning: if you sit in a cubicle you may be tempted to knock down walls a la Office Space). [...]

The dividers are set low so visibility is good and you can talk to your neighbours over the dividers with no problem. The building is large, roomy and well soundproofed and ventilated – the air conditioning even works most of the time. We also get a good cafeteria, a pool table and free hot drinks, and we have a gym that’s very cheap indeed. But some of these 10 workplaces are even cooler. I particularly like Pixar and Red Bull as corporate offices, and Volkswagen’s Phaeton plant is like working in an operating theatre, which should help promote concentration.

Too many spoiled yuppies worrying about why their stock options bomb while they perform no actual work. The field people who are working their tails off actually performing the services that pay the bills get the short end of the stick while the executives spend the cash trying to impress Wall Street.

La oficina se divide en mesas segun los grupos de trabajo y todos los trabajadores están en el mismo espacio. Cuando me entrevistaron se preocuparon de mirar el blog y mi web personal, incluso el jefe llegó a dejar un comentario.

    There seems to be a strong desire for workplaces that stimulate us and make us happy.

    Andy: I feel your pain :o)

    tamberg: SKAT doesn’t look too shabby…

    Marc: You’re right, what was I thinking!

    Damon, DCB: Yeah, I guess it is mostly just a cube. At least it shows they have freedom to decorate them as they want and to bring in the nerd toys…

    texile: calcio balilla is essential. I became a pretty good player myself in my IT days.

    Duncan: The slide is amazing. Gotta put a smile on your face to be able to slide to meetings :o)

    Andrew: Thanks for the tip. What an amazing idea to have your offices in a church.

    Jamie: I’d go for the slide too :o)

    TheHobbyGuy: I agree – http://www.esto.com/grassl03_01.htm

    Josephus: Chiat/Day was pretty cool too. I’m not sure they still are, though now since they were bought up.

    Joe: You raise a good point. A good workspace helps – it doesn’t do it alone.

    Andy: The bicycle bar made me laugh out loud. I wanna try it.

    Happiness at work cannot be obtained with slides, free drinks and video game stations.

    Happiness at work is defined by employees who feel ownership over both problems and successes that a company experiences as opposed to the usual blame game between “labor and management”.

    Further, happiness is demonstrated by employees who actually care about the company product, the customer, the service they deliver and how the company can constantly improve all of the above.

    Yahoo (Sunnyvale) struck me as a fun place to work. Wait, did I just use fun and work in the same sentence? Outdoors they have tennis, volleyball, and bocce, indoors are pool tables, ping-pong and foosball. They have teams of people that organize special events. It’s a wonder anyone can get their done.

    I was impressed by the facilities as well as the complete lack of a dress code (well, within reason). Shorts and sandals are the norm, I stuck out like a sore thumb when I showed up with slacks and a tie. In short, a very relaxed college campus-like atmosphere (only this campus has some serious cash to spend on keeping their employees happy).

    These are listed as 10 seeeeeriously cool workplaces but i kind of disagree they may look nice and have some interesting astectic features you wouldnt find in most office jobs but still have the elements that most office jobs have desk paper pushing etc.

    Ive worked in some paper pushing jobs but worked out pretty quickly that they for me and my interest werent cool jobs. so to me a seriously cool work place is 500m underground in a coal mine with boarers covering you in coal dust while removing overburden or on deck of a tuna fishing ship heading out after a cyclone through ruff surf. these are a step above for really cool workplace at least in my work time experince

    Your pictures from ’10 coolest place to work’ are really cool.
    Would it be ok to put them in my company’s in-house magazine?
    The magazine is non-commercial. We don’t make money out of it.
    I am just writing an article for the magazine on “creativity at workplace” and thought your pictures would be a real eye-opener for us here in my company.
    You know the intellectual right stuffs…
    I figure a permission from you is in order before I decide them to put in my company magazine.

    I wonder if you found examples of cool, hip and inspiring workplaces in Asia?

    Ironically, several of the international locations of otherwise innovative companies such as the BBC, Google, or Apple simply do not appear to have as much thought put into them.

    They say the User Interfaces of a company’s products indicate a lot about the state of the overall company. A stronger indicator of innovative/stagnant companies would be the signature style (or the lack of) in workplace design!

    The environment we work in is definitely important. The ancient Vedic science of Vastu describes the living space (or work space) as a mandala, and the body as a mandala, and how to design the mandala of the living space so that the health of the body and mind is greatly supported. Sometimes dramatic changes in the feel of a room result from applying Vastu principles. So there is definitely a subtle energy component to our living and work spaces that affects our well being.

    Vastu is a deeper and more correct science than Feng Shui. Feng Shui has some of its roots in Vastu.

    Love these places. The field of the psychology of space started when I was in grad school and I was captivated. Love the slide!!! Also in sacred architecture they teach that curvilinear space supports female energy and linear space supports male energy. Great companies need both. I always buy my home for the business and must have curves and arches as well as vaulted ceilings and skylights for higher level thinking! Access to natural light is also crucial. Fluorescents, the cool whites, are a health risk.

    The above images of the various working offices are wonderful. I understand that it costs more to design and construct such a workplace, but I truly feel that the cost will more than make up for it in employee satisfaction. I learned that there are three levels of employee satisfaction. The first is dissatisfaction, due to low wages or bad working conditions. The second level is a neutral feeling. This occurs when the employee is getting a reasonable salary, as well as reasonable insurance, etc. but he/she is not finding his job to be motivating. The third and final level is a feeling of intense satisfaction, in which the employee feels he/she is doing something important and worthwhile. They find happiness in doing their work, because they feel they are a part of the big picture. Although its definitely reasonable to just keep employees at a “neutral” point where they have no complaints, this results in the employee becoming stagnant and non-productive or with decreased productivity. However, the third level will maximize productivity and even bring into light the potential of the employee. This, I believe, is important for an organization. It is always easy to find neutral individuals, but it is definitely harder to find the ones with more potential than what they are using. By having such a fostering and creative environment, I feel that will help push an employee from being just “stagnant” and “neutral” to being happier and more satisfied about his/her job. In the long-term, this will help the organization.

    As a UK supplier of Office and Home Office furniture we are pushing many of
    manufacturers to come up with brighter products for our customers. No longer should users have to accept boring Grey, Why not offer Pink, Purple, White or Lime green as a standard option, a colorful office chair or filing cabinet can make a statement in a small office.
