Facebook HQ Interior Design

Tuesday November 3, 2009

Ever wondered what it looks like where all those Facebook employees are gathered? Is it like a blue building where each have their own little white/pale-blue room with exactly the same folders in the shelves? I just stumbled across the looks of Facebook’s headquarters. And it looks really nice, not at all as streamlined and boxy as the Facebook I know. The interior design company Studio O+A designed the new (it was brand new in July) offices for Facebook in California. It’s a 150,000-square-foot space that prevoiusly housed a laboratory. The design goal was to maintain the history and raw aesthetic of the building and create a fun dynamic, appropriate for the company’s youthful staff. Many walls and spaces are left unfinished – like Facebook itself, employees are encouraged to write on the walls, add artwork, and rearrange the furniture. So, the office can and will evolve continuously, and it was arranged with numerous “neighborhoods”; a DJ area, lounges, and impromptu work spaces. Here’s a few pics, more can be found @ Studio O+A.

Speaking of Creative Flow, might this be a creativity-stimulating environment for the Facebook staff?

I reckon so.

    Looks like a _very_ expensive, but probably enormously creative, environment – but I always get this weird negative gut feeling when a company like Facebook burn millions and millions on stuff like this.

    Yeah, they should do something more society beneficial for all those money…Or improve facebook! But yes, interiors seem very appropriate for young people and creativity.
