Friend Trusted office just moved to Hero City, located at San Mateo, CA! Facing the big comic painting wall, people working here don’t get tired of the environment.

Everyone has their dream office space. In the recent 10 years, how people envision their perfect working space has jumped from typical cubicles to an open working space.

Typical Office Space

Google Effect

Modern office space embraces collaboration and innovation, such as having open seating, outdoor seating, cabanas, and etc. The design idea is to encourage collaboration and inspiration. This innovative office design is contributed to Google and Facebook, who believe creative people need creative space.

Open floor plan allows more internal communication and collaboration more engagement with each other, which lead to creative success.

Google has common areas where staff can unwind.

The favorite of Google’s employees: A hanging cargo net hammock. Maybe it is a good place when brains freeze.

Limit Your Palette to a Few Colors That Work Well Together

“One of the things that makes Google’s spaces work so well is that they have limited their color palette to the four colors in their logo, a vibrant red, yellow, blue and green.”

Square Office uses warm colors(gray and white)and natural material(wood separators) to build a cozy working environment.

Being Artsy

Airbnb Office: Artworks on the wall.

Znyga Office: A big reflective arrow points direction.

No matter if you are a startup or a large corporation, creating a fun and collaborative working space is a breeze. If you are stuck with the feasibility of the design, find out the top-rated contractors through Friend Trusted!
