It seems like a huge, unnecessary distraction for a company whose employees regularly telecommute and whose clients would rarely visit as opposed to a law firm for example. It was a chance to reward ourselves for 10 years of hard work. In our work, we think the details matter. We believe in craft. So we wanted the office to reflect our love for the details, but in a physical sense. We wanted to be surrounded by that kind of craftsmanship. I believe more you appreciate the things around you, the more they begin to influence your own work.
We believe this office will make us a better company on a variety of levels. Being a bit of an espresso nerd, I gotta ask what the coffee setup is like — machine? I especially love the interesting textures, colour and open space. Congratulations on your success and your new office — I hope you enjoy it :.
The new office is elegant but simple, i like it. The space matches the great products being made. It seems like 37S are so new in thinking about software and so old in thinking about people environment. This seems a place where only the Owners can work not seen. Cubicle partitions are the worst compromise: You neither have privacy nor a collaborative team environment.
I was also expecting a bunch of total private offices and a nice relaxation area with sleep pods and such. Anyways, those huge displays look cool! I was in last week to create a chalk mural on 5 of the chalkboard panels see the hallway in photo 2. It was very quiet. To compensate for the hard surfaces, many of the walls are covered in cork to absorb the sound. Natural light along the north edge of the space is pretty amazing, and that light filters into the glass doors of the meeting rooms opposite the workspaces.
Probably my biggest positive is that the space, while appearing large and spacious, feels proportional and human. What is the brand or link to the product you use for the walls. Loving this edit of the office tour by mattjones — Signals YouTube.

Keeping your email account safe is the most important step to prevent contagion like this. Once someone is in to your email account, they can generally get in to just about any other system you have access to. But the theater sucks. Maybe the video does injustice, but I was expecting more.
Looks like cheap carpet over plywood and not much thought put into the rest of it. I totally agree with your point about waiting to spend on your office space until the company starts earning money, but when it does, also not to be afraid of buying nice items of good quality. It is exactly how we did it, and it gives me a feeling of accomplishment almost every morning when I come into the office. Now: The creator of Vooza , "the Spinal Tap of startups. Here founder Jason Fried successfully turned things upside down and ended up with a space in which more people would be happy.
While some of the decor choices are both practical and attractive chalkboard walls with a magnetic backing in the conference rooms so that you can literally write on the walls or even hang charts , the overall look of the place depresses me. Jason chose browns and beiges and dirty greys, along with mottled red and burgundy carpets.
In terms of colour, the offices look like a cross between an out of date airport and a Holiday Inn. Another downside of being based in Chicago or almost any large North American city is that the view is pretty dreary.
You are not in Venice Italy here. Great video take the full tour and very good viewing if you are thinking of building out a larger office.
