Prominent online businesses are responsible for some of the world's most exciting work place designs. This Soho Foursquare office is no exception. The new New York home of the social media company includes a plethora of playful features that would make this environment such a fun place to work.
With the help of Designer Fluff, Derek Stewart and Dennis Crowley updated these suites, leaving ducts, pipes, electrical conduits and steel beams exposed. These were painted over to match the decorative scheme of each separate space, which is inspired by a different foursquare badge.
Familiar signs above the doors suggest the themes beyond the thresholds such as the bee motif 'Swarm' conference room and the 'Bookworm' library. The Soho Foursquare office also includes a 'Photogenic' photo booth room and a plant-packed 'Herbivore' meeting area.
