Wealink Office

October 15th, 2008 by Jose

Today we’re going aaaaaaall the way to Shanghai to take a look at China’s Wealink. Wealink is like LinkedIn, but with all sorts of crazy squiggles all over the page. I also think the name looks like Weaklink, which would be an awful name for a website.

The office itself looks like a pretty standard startup office, aside from the Canadian Ice Wine (???) and the sweet views of downtown Shanghai. And, in case you’ve ever wondered whether they have IKEAs in China (and I really have wondered), 16 or so Vika Amon tables say they do.

Yahoo! Sydney Office

October 13th, 2008 by Jose

Hello world! We’re back. My apologies for our extended absence… it’s been a busy couple of weeks, but we’re back and we missed you (too?).

That aging giant Yahoo! hasn’t been doing too well recently, so let’s cut them some slack today and admire their offices for a moment. Now, we’ve seen lots of Yahoo!’s offices before, but today’s might just be the best yet. They’re located in Sydney, so that’s a big plus. Besides being in one of coolest cities in the world, though, they also have a great waterfront location and a shiny, modern interior, complete with a graffiti mural. I like to think that someone named Yahoo just snuck into the office in the middle of the night and vandalized a wall, but that probably isn’t true.

Rijkwaterstaat Offices

September 30th, 2008 by Jose

I’ve never really needed to speak Dutch. Pretty much everyone in Amsterdam speaks English, after all. I’m really missing it today, though, because Rijkwaterstaat in Utrecht, Netherlands has one of the most interesting offices ever featured here on Office Snapshots, and I have little to no idea what goes on there.

If I were to go by the website, I’d guess Rijkwaterstaat is some sort of Department of Public Works. If I were to go by the look of the office, though, I’d say Rijkwaterstaat is a studio that exists entirely within the mind of a mad designer, kind like in The Cell, but luckily, without Jennifer Lopez. What, pray tell, is in images 8 and 9? If you have any fun, shocking, or entertaining (anything but correct!) ideas, please leave them in the comments.

Oneupweb Headquarters

September 29th, 2008 by Stephen

If you have great content but don’t seem to know how to connect with readers that would enjoy it, then you probably could use the help of Oneupweb. Oneupweb is a company that specializes in online marketing through the various avenues of Search Engine Marketing, Eye Tracking, Social Media, and then backs their work up using analytics.

The company’s building is located in Traverse City, Michigan, and automatically wins the award for the only company in our history to own a private beach. Without making a terribly wild guess, I’d say that the building can hold close to a million employees. The space itself is very well decorated and elegant feeling. One of my favorite elements is the comfortable seats overlooking the water. Even though there are quite a few open work areas, the employees have a good amount of room to themselves to offer a bit of privacy.

Cabedge Offices

September 26th, 2008 by Stephen

You probably didn’t know this, but there are other businesses in the Nashville area that do something beside play country music. One of these is Cabedge. Cabedge is a design firm that handles projects anywhere along the lines of photography to hosting to print design to video creation to much more. The company was born on April Fools day and has done work for companies like Tylenol, LEGO, BMI, and Saturn.

While the office is technically in Brentwood, TN, it has all the elements of a great looking design studio right up to the building architecture. The company recently moved to this location, and from the looks of it could handle additional employees there. My favorite element is the windowed room with the different colored squares. I also think the spiral staircase is a nice effect. All in all, the space looks like one where creativity just oozes from every nook and cranny.
