One of my favorite things about running Office Snapshots are the times I get to hear from readers that have used the site for inspiration in designing their office space. Swift.consult is just such a company. They are a software development outfit that specializes in working with the needs of small- medium sized business’. They have also worked with such companies as Ubisoft and Wacom.
Swift.consult is headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany and recently moved out of Frank O. Gehry’s Media Harbor in search of more space for their business. The color palette of the new space is very appealing and modern, and when matched with the dark wood floor it really comes alive. Employees have wonderful workstations that boast large monitors, giving both good virtual and real desktop space. If all that weren’t enough, their cappuccino maker has fresh drinks waiting for you whenever you need a pick-me-up.

Sure, you probably haven’t heard of Tribax before, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about who they are and what they do. In a nutshell, Tribax is a community provider, somewhat along the lines of Ning (but without that annoying half a billion dollar valuation). And not unlike me in 2004, they are located in Berlin, Germany.
The office is pretty good. Given a choice between your own office and a room full of beer, I would guess most Germans would choose the latter. These guys did. One thing they didn’t compromise on, though: elk skulls.

S² Media is the holding company of the German advertising site layer-ads.de, which seem to specialize in serving advertising though DHTML layers. While this type of advertising might be a bit too intrusive for some people, many find it to be a promising method of advertising in the future.
As far as office space is concerned, this space is really modern looking. The company is based out of Aachen, Germany, and looks to be growing a bit, based on the progression of the number of monitors per workstation.

When choosing between two design firms, always go with the one with more Legos. I’d bet it’s a very good sign if they like to play with Legos for fun. richardAcquah design is a full-service design company located in Hamburg, Germany, and they seem to really enjoy their Legos.
richardAcquah specializes in Internet, corporate, and interface design, but they also seem to be very good at playing Wii, owning Macs, and playing Xbox 360. If we’re to believe the true-to-life Lego recreation, however, the most impressive part about the office is the diversity: astronauts, truckers, motorcycle riders, and emo dudes all working together under one roof (although I am wondering what that steering wheel is for).

Qype is all about local reviews. They are the largest European site of their kind, which is great because their user-generated reviews span mainly across Germany, France, and the UK. If you are ever out and about looking for a great pub to spend the night at, either visit Qype before you go or while you are out on your phone.
Luckily enough for you, they also have great offices. For starters, I am a big fan of brick buildings, and this one looks great. The inside of the office looks very clean, but work-friendly at the same time. The space is located in Hamburg, Germany, which the employees can get a view of through the large windows, which I also love.
