Perhaps there is nothing more therapeutic than a fine dining experience. Culinary sophistication and high standards make for a memorable time for anyone in a restaurant. But we design freaks seek more and often end up lusting over great interiors at places like these. Right now we are admiring some fascinating restaurant designs photographed by a Russian firm IndoorPhotos. Seems like a lot of time and money has gone into making these spaces perfect for food and conversations. Not only do they manage to lure a large number of food junkies, their interiors serve as good inspiration for home dining spaces to
It is nothing new and we have seen them before. Google offices do make people go green with envy and at times make them rethink their choice of a workplace. This awe that it creates on a viewer is no accident. In fact, it is part of a bigger business plan. Google is one of the first companies in the valley that focused on an ‘ultimate employee experience’ and it is one of the reasons why the industry elites flocked to it in huge numbers during its early days. Even today, Google believes in creating truly special work environments. Take for instance their new Sydney office. One glance at these images, and you feel it is all there. Be it the vertical garden at the reception or the cricket pitch inside the office, everything oozes ‘googleness’. Watch this video where the lead designer of Google’s Sydney office (Angela Ferguson, of Futurespace) talks about the approach they took during this project.
Okay, we admit. It is going to take one heck of a write up to connect a Ferrari factory to anything ‘home’ and we are not even bothering. But this is something we thought you just wouldn’t want to miss: Ferrari’s state-of-the-art factory, in Maranello, Italy.
No public tours are offered at this facility and only a privileged few have access. The supercar’s production process is a curious combination of old-world craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. At the assembly line one can see the construction from raw car to a complete, computer-diagnosed product. Rigorous testing follows and everything from the usual torque and power curve to air/fuel is carefully monitored, as in exhaust or emissions. Workers in full Ferrari-red regalia work around their work stations, smiles on their faces, and a tune whistling from their lip

Chatting breeds creative ideas or thats what it looks like if one walks into the LEGO offices. Designed by architectural firm Bosch & Fjord, the place looks and feels vibrant.
If you think that they may have one meeting room too many there, here is their explanation: The idea of having 13 meeting rooms (yes, 13!) is based on the thought process that majority of the ideas are realized while people are moving around and indulging into conversations. Observe the workspaces and you will see a sense of freedom which transcends across the office making it one cool place to hatch ideas.
(Probably the only office in the world which shares a common table for reception and cafe!)
