When it comes to your place of work, the place where you spend a good majority of your day, for years on end, it is important that that space is both usable and attractive. For obvious reasons, an office that is difficult to work in will lower your effectiveness at your job. But also, an unattractive space that you don’t like going to could have the same effect.
Parliament Design’s office in Portland, Oregon has to be one of the best examples of usability and design coming together in an office. The space is simply gorgeous, with elegant wood throughout the office, and enough beautifully made custom furniture to wonder why the company doesn’t specialize in that too. The company uses the space to design everything from print materials to retail packaging to websites and animation.
The amount of care and detail around the office is what is really breathtaking. Real firewood, cabinet doors made from old crates, tables made from old barns, and real street signs from Brooklyn. The lighting is fantastic, and the mixture of colors with the cement and wood really make a nice combination. And don’t forget that this is the first office we’ve seen with a bear skin rug.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Self, who is the king of lowercase e’s?” Lord knows I have, and I finally found the answer; eROI. eROI helps its clients conquer any of their e-needs, such as email marketing, web design, SEO, ecommerce, and brand development.
The company is run from the third floor of a great building in Portland, Oregon. Their office space is sure to create som eoffice-envy as it has some great looking features. One of my favorite areas is the conference rooms with the roll-up doors, two of the larger rooms have beautiful tables. Aside from that, employees have several options for work stations ranging from private offices to more of an open bullpen type space. Interestingly enough, Vidoop, another company we’ve covered, is on the floor below them.

Happy Wednesday! We’re back in Portland today, and let me tell you, today is your lucky day, because we’re looking at AboutUs. AboutUs is a wiki specifically focused on websites, companies, and organizations.
OK, so maybe it isn’t that exciting, but they do have a nice office. They have a nice rug, it’s clean, and has a nice warehouse-y feel. And they are very welcoming. So there you go. A perfectly unoffensive company and office.

You hate passwords, right? So does Vidoop. Vidoop wants to be your single log-in gateway to these fine Internets (with a little help from OpenID). And instead of typing the same boring thing over and over again, you remember an image theme that you use to create a new key each time you need to verify a session.
Hidden behind an unassuming green door in Portland, Oregon is Vidoop’s office: a nice, open, well-lit office space. Awesomely, the office also contains two of my favorite workplace features: red brick walls and plenty of food. Now if only they had a dog, they’d deserve all five stars.
