The work environment is experiencing an upheaval - offices that combine personality, functionality, and just the right atmosphere are currently in demand. Customized company spaces create optimal work conditions that also contribute to the motivation and productivity of the employees. At the same time, they also act as the company's calling card, becoming an important part of company culture. The business philosophy is reflected not only in the choice of location, but also in the personalized interior design. To fulfill the high demands of office design and construction, architects and interior designers have developed innovative ideas for places of business, setting new standards for corporate architecture. Offices presents about a 100 successful, exciting solutions. The richly illustrated volume demonstrates how articulated space concepts in combination with selected materials and meticulously planned details create offices of vastly divergent character. The reader is introduced to prominent examples from internationally acclaimed stars of the architectural world, as well as to lesser-known projects from young design and construction practices.
