office space
I visited the new Optus headquarters today at Macquarie Park to interview one of the directors. It was nice. Lots of space, clean architecture, slick without being cold and corporate.
With my job I visit some really nice offices and lobbies, the best being ad agencies with their decked out staff rooms (pool tables, turntables for night-time parties, stocked fridges, espresso machine, etc), funky loft-feel and great sense of space. My office looks and feels like a call-centre. Yuck!
Here’s what my ideal office/working environment would have:
Timber floorboards (but good heating so it didn’t get too cold)
Spacious desk area
Macs – shiny new ones!
Inspiring artworks on the walls
A big loft space, with open staircases and a mezzanine floor
An in-house world class barista (though to be fair, I already have one of those at home!)
Massive staff room with couches you can nap on
Big windows
A gym! And daycare centre for the working mums
Stocked drinks fridge
Halogen lights
Nice outdoor area with tables and chairs, deckchairs too!

sounds good. I like the deck-chairs.. Alas I am in a call centre environment too.
Work environment makes such a big difference to my productivity - and was one of the big reasons I never worked in the church building when I did MTS - cluttered space with ugly furniture.
But it's hard for a church - how can you make the space nice when you're on a serious budget, and you rely on the second hand furniture of the congregation for your fit out?
