If you’ve ever wondered who we have to thank for this whole “corporate office design” thing that we are all so fond of, the answer is Gensler. Although Gensler started off as the original corporate interior design firm, it has become the largest architecture firm in the world, employing over 3,000 people in 34 offices around the world. Today, we’re taking a quick look at their headquarters in San Francisco.
As you probably guessed, their office is gorgeous. Beautiful views of the Bay Bridge, comfortable and well-lit interiors, hardwood floors, brick walls… This place is perfect. Plus, it’s like a block away from my apartment, so obviously they know where it’s at. (”It” being me? Sure. Why not.)

We don’t cover companies like Urban Outfitters too often, but we came across this office and it was just too nice to pass up. You know Urban Outfitters: the hip, stylish clothing and home store located on a hip, stylish street near you. You’d expect their offices to be a thing of beauty, and yeah, they are.
Urban Outfitter’s headquarters in Philadelphia, PA are like the campus to some Bohemian University. It’s bright, it’ss airy, it’s colorful, and it’s comfortable and functional. Plus, it’s even sunny there! Although, if the FX network has taught me one thing (and it really has taught me only one thing) it’s that it’s always sunny in Philadelphia.

Google’s offices are never normal, but their Washington D.C. office could possibly be one of the most interesting of them all. While Google Zurich has some pretty outrageous amenities, D.C. is said to have 1100 sq. ft. per employee, which is pretty insane. One article believes that this office is meant for only a couple things, neither of which are engineering related: Lobbying and Partying.
This space is pretty normal for Google standards, boasting cubicles, a nice kitchen, huge TVs, and plenty of bright colors. While most people are fans of Google offices, I wonder if their D.C. space would have fit into Pierre L’Enfant’s plan for the city.

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.
