For mobile game developer Tripledot’s Barcelona office, Nordicthink (NT) organized the vast floor space into an archipelago of operational, relaxation, and social zones for a bustling staff of 70. Bright and airy spaces juxtapose with chromatic hues and whimsical installations, and are outfitted in contemporary furnishings and unique acoustical settings. The reception lounge is a perfect example of this with a trio of playful sofas—their deconstructed profiles resembles chain links and their fabric is color-blocked in citrus, azul, and emerald tones, a logo-derived palette that appears throughout the office interior design.

Wanting to expand to a workplace flexible enough to accommodate further growth, philanthropic venture Climate Initiatives tapped Schiller Projects, a studio well-versed in designing with eco-friendly materials and low carbon footprints. For a modern office interior design like this, aesthetic were as important as functionality and sustainability. For example, partitions were formed from vertical slats of Douglas fir, bringing a warm, natural material to the fore. And rather than the usual wall-to-wall carpet, there are abstractly patterned wool and cotton rugs enlivening the polished-concrete flooring. Walk through this sustainable office.

The relocated Washington headquarters for law firm WilmerHale both unites staffers, and showcases transparency, blue-chip art and repurposing. Designed by LSM, the east facade provides views to the Capitol, and an undulating curtain wall allows even more natural light to penetrate the interiors where it bows. Meanwhile the main public entrance, on the east side, features a triple-height lobby with flooring and cascading stairs in gray marble, scaled down to double-height, and used veined white Calacatta Sponda marble from top to bottom, including for the spiral stair that connects to the mezzanine. Take a peek at this law office interior design.

Since LinkedIn has 36 offices around the globe, it’s natural that each of those offices has a personal brand that closely reflects the culture of the city and country it’s located in. The Toronto headquarters by CannonDesign is an ebullient example of this individualistic paradigm. With ample amenity spaces, a commissioned mural featuring an abstracted depiction of Canadian landmarks and striking sculptures—like Hinterland, a three-story-high treelike sculpture that rises up through the open stairwell—this HQ suggests the connections, pathways, and conduits between business professionals that the networking platform is designed to facilitate. Check out the LinkedIn office interior design.

7. Rainbow Hues Inform Autodesk’s Innovative Office Interior Design

Inspired by the ongoing BeltLine project that has become symbolic of Atlanta’s urban renewal, Corgan arranged loops for software behemoth Autodesk’s latest regional outpost. With “destinations” spread out along the way, each themed around a local landmark like Ponce City Market or the Krog Street Tunnel, schemes were rendered in a mix of hand sketches and, of course, CAD. Atlanta has nearly 50 percent tree coverage, so arboreal elements are everywhere, here, too, like the reception’s desk shaped like a giant trunk stump and the layered rainbow canopy with leaf graphics above it. Walk around this Autodesk office.

Located on the financial-software company’s Mountain View, California, campus, Intuit’s new headquarters was many years in the making. Initially tapping Clive Wilkinson Architects and WRNS Studio back in 2011, the project expanded over the next decade into multiple buildings. The newest addition is a LEED platinum-certified building with a ground-level lobby featuring a flight of oak-clad stairs, edged with planters for biophilia, leading to the main conference center as well as the scheme’s major design move: a three-story, 40-foot-high atrium. The bright volume is lit from above by clerestories set within a series of angled precast-concrete beams. Peek through this office interior design.

San Francisco-based venture capital firm 8VC found its second home in Austin, Texas, partnering with Michael Hsu Office of Architecture to transform a 100-year-old bungalow. The building has gone through a series of changes throughout the years: from a brothel to an Airbnb property called Camp Congress. While the turn-of-the-century three-story space is unrecognizable from its past facade, it now has a glazed exterior corner, a feature that emulates the screened porch that once graced the building, floor-to-ceiling windows giving a greenhouse effect, and a new entryway with wraparound plaza connecting the office to the secluded clubhouse boardroom. Walk through this historic office space.

11. Danish Meets Bauhaus In This Modern Office Interior Design

Before selecting furnishings for investment firm Valar Ventures’s Manhattan HQ, Ries Hayes embarked upon a gut renovation, reorganizing the floor-through space to mimic the city grid. Fluted oak partitions flank reception, which feels more salon than workplace, while drywall and glass-and-steel storefront systems delineate offices, meeting and conference rooms, and a flex space referred to as the den. In keeping with a modern Danish-meets-Bauhaus aesthetic, leather joins wood and metal in the material palette: It wraps four structural columns, upholsters much of the seating, including Mario Bellini chairs and a Sergio Rodrigues sofa, and panels an entire wall in a founder’s office. Read about this timeless workplace.

For creative agency Spring Studios’s workplace revamp, they tapped the global firm Tomèf, who decided to work with the building’s 19th-century industrial soul rather than against it. That industrial vibe is most apparent in the café, where a modern graphic wallpaper is juxtaposed with rustic leather and zinc furnishings, adding a splash of color to an otherwise muted palette. Meanwhile the main workspace, a unique zone nestled under the roof with exposed steel girders, embraces the natural light being on the top floor offers, and a simple black and white color palette reflects the studio’s brand identity. Take a peek at this creative office interior design.

For a young, fast-growing technology company, creating a meaningful space for employees to work and connect was key to the next phase of their business. And Studio Anand Sheth brought a considerate, thoughtful approach to Retool’s multiple offices, especially the San Francisco headquarters. Cloaked in a mix of earthy tones and graphic wall coverings that add intrigue, the lounge areas give the feel of a chic boutique hotel. Spanning four non-chronological floors in the city’s former Hamm’s Brewery Building, the corporate office interior design has exposed ducts and original concrete interact with contemporary seating and colorful accents to give it a balanced feel.
