Radical Office Design Jeremy Myerson
Traditional office work, characterized by repetitive clerical tasks, is rapidly giving way to "knowledge work," characterized by the creative application and exchange of information. In response, architects around the world are leaving aside the old cubicle grid to design imaginative, high-tech offices that foster knowledge work and, at the same time, help workers balance the competing demands of colleagues, customers, and family. The forty-three exceptional workplaces profiled in this timely volume have all been completed within the last six years and serve a wide variety of organizations, both private and public, small and large. Examples range from the headquarters of an advertising firm where one enormous table seats all two hundred employees, facilitating communication, to a BMW plant where the factory production line runs through and above the administrative offices, unifying the corporate community.
The Other Office: Creative Workplace Design Matt Stewart
The world of work refuses to stand still: new technologies have a huge impact on office design and now that a great many employees have the freedom to do their work anywhere -- on the road, at home, with clients -- the general role of the office has altered significantly. The projects that make up The Other Office identify those offices that keep abreast of the rapid pace of change and, more importantly, set the pace. They achieve their goals in unique and creative ways. Their common denominator is that special quality with which they transcend the mundane requirements of planners' programs, a creative synthesis of the intuitive and the analytical, bringing a new sensibility to the workplace.
If you have additional suggestions that could help give a small business/entrepreneur some design inspiration for their office space, Open Office Space would love to hear from you.

If want to make a beautiful office then Placing plants throughout the office creates an attractive atmosphere as well. Plants should be chosen based on how well they do in an internal environment, and placed accordingly.

As far as plants go, it does create an attractive atmosphere, but you shouldn't overdo it. You want an attractive and productive office. Not the Congo. Strategically place plants in areas which seem dull. Possibly at the place where you usually go to for brainstorming.

You can find a lot of inspiration on creating your own home office just by looking at interior design books or blogs like this. Back then, I was totally slumped on a good solution to use when designing my office (since the old style is totally demotivating), but when I saw a book about minimalistic interior design, I tried to incorporate it to my hosted PBX office to make it fit.

A home office is quite hard to set-up. The most important part is, of course, the space. Many want to have their own home office, but not everyone has the space to build one. There are lots of tips in the internet on how to turn an empty space - or even a small corner - into a home office. Thanks for sharing some to us.

I really like this. The flooring, materials used in windows/blinds. Sound-proofed room. I hope it has writing boards that is convertible to a white space for presentation.
