Don’t get your hopes up about this post because it is nothing quite like Facebook’s main headquarters, which was designed by the firm o+a. This new space is in buildout stage, and has a lot of growing to do. The space itself is built for engineers, but after seeing Campaign Monitor’s engineering space, I wonder how effective their employees will be.
Regardless, the space has a wonderful view, and has the beginnings of some neat design. The wall coloring and the furniture give the impression that the space will be given a similar, though most likely smaller, makeover as some of the elements are similar. In either case, take this for what its worth, and thanks to Techcrunch for the tip and pics
Check out the space as it is slowly filled, and click the images to enlarge as usual.
This Facebook office is quite a bit different than the new Palo Alto office, but is very nice nonetheless. It has approximately 50 employees and is basically dedicated to sales and regional support, thogh it does have some programming capability. As far as the design goes, there seems to be several elements similar to Palo Alto like the frosted glass, the color schemes, and the names conference rooms. Palo Alto definitely wins on name creativity though. The office is located on Carnaby Street in London.
It wouldn’t be right to gloss over Facebook’s new office space with only one post, so here is another, though rather than photos, it is all video. The first video does a great job of showing just how large the Facebook floorplan is, however, if you didn’t like the Blair Witch Project, you many not like the shakiness of it. The second video was shot by Techcrunch and is quite a bit longer and more detailed with lots of questions being asked and answered. Hope you like them!
In the past, we’ve posted several times about Facebook’s office space, but nothing quite like today’s post. Facebook recently moved their offices out of several smaller locations spread throughout Palo Alto, CA and into one central, 150,000-square-foot building that used to house Agilent Technologies. Many of the building’s original features either remain or have been repurposed for Facebook’s use.
The space was designed by studio o+a who took time to interview employees to see what they wanted and what would make their work experience better and more productive. Employees collaborated with designers throughout the entire process to ensure the best product possible. Because of the differing departmental needs, small neighborhoods within the building were created giving each department its own unique flavor and vibe.
The company has remained committed to providing free gourmet meals, snacks, and drinks in micro-kitchens located throughout the building. In order to keep the company agile and fresh, employees are encouraged to write on walls, add artwork, and move furniture as they see fit. If I worked there, I’d move my furniture into Mark Zuckerberg’s offices and then challenge him to a game of ping-pong or basketball on the company tables and court.
Last night, one of my online friends linked me to a site that had apparently gotten their paws on some pictures of Facebook’s new office space in New York. Well, given the fact that this website is called Office Snapshots, it would only be right to post them here for you. While the offices aren’t quite completed, they are a nice peek into one of the web’s hottest companies right now.
