The office has been designed as an open floor plan, with a variety of different areas.

Just through the arches off the main work area is a space where the outdoors has been brought inside.

Green walls surround the original arched windows.

A lot of natural light, wooden floor boards, and outdoor furniture, make it seem that you’re sitting outside, and not in an office.

Through the arches of the ‘outdoor’ area, there’s a lounge area, with stairs to the side.

Those stairs give you access to the suspended hang-out net area.

Scattered with pillows, the net area is both a work and rest area.

Back downstairs, the office also has various other work areas, like this distraction-free circular pod.
