Many of us would never want to work in an office for a big corporation, but I do enjoy looking at office architecture and interior design.

Office Snapshots is a fantastic site that showcases loads of cool new office spaces; they did 337 in 2013 alone. They just did their best of 2013 round up and there are some really cool spaces shown. I know some of you work in small teams and you might find some inspiration from these...

The Top 25 Most Popular Offices of 2013 - Office Snapshots
 


I'll be the first to admit that I go to a nice co-working space quite often. It beats the hell out of some executive suite with white walls and fluorescent lighting. Too, although I don't mingle much, hearing and seeing others working on similar projects really helps me stay motivated. I'd feel like a buffoon if I was surfing Reddit or jerkin it all day while others around me were getting work done.
 
I would kill someone to work at the Facebook Menlo Park office. It's the best in the list.
 
I love what Zappos did with Vegas' old city hall. My mom used to work there years ago and I would visit it occasionally. A real beat up shit hole. Looks great now.
 
Some of those are really cool, but I think it was Saxo Bank that was kind of creepy.
 
Just take your laptop and work in an IKEA, it will be just like 90% of those offices.
 
Mad jealous. It's my ultimate dream to start a 'real' company with real physical employees and sell it for 8 figures after 5 years or so and start over again.
 
Yeah, unfortunately this kind of office design is only really realistic if you're either a) huge, or b) have a revenue per employee of $1m like the likes of Google.

These places must cost a bomb to design and put together.
