The computer workstations, auditorium and small offices including the game rooms, music studios and lounge areas have all been fully equipped and clad with futuristic designs. Majority of the walls are built with magnetic white board laminates and as much as this gives the commercial design a modern aesthetics it also made the design ooze with elegance with its glossy look.

Tetsuya Ito from Takara Space Design is responsible for the hospitality design of the three-story beauty Salon. It is located in Omiya, Japan and it comprises the beauty salon, manicure salon and personal styling spaces. There are two buildings for the project and both provide sophisticated, relaxing and very comforting atmosphere which is very much the liking of most customers seeking tranquility and relaxation within an artificial environment.
The overall aesthetic elements utilized in this project are subdued demonstrated by the translucent fabric walls showing faded images of structural facades. This has created a ghostly look and is actually the focal point of the hospitality design. There were also hanging mirrors that were strategically and carefully placed above some of the printed “windows” of the black and white screens created an optical illusion of real openings.

Sid Lee Architecture has completed the Red Bull New Amsterdam HQ. The cool office is formerly an old heritage shipbuilding factory, fronting a timeless crane and an old unused Russian submarine. The office design was created and implemented by Jean Pelland – lead design Architect and Senior Partner of Sid Lee Architecture. As the design unveils, the philosophy of Red Bull comes into view hence the division of spaces according to their function and atmosphere.
The divisions suggest that there are two opposing and complementary hemispheres of the human brain – reason and intuition, arts and industry, dark and light and good and evil. Sid Lee Architecture has been commissioned to implement the commercial design that is based on the Red Bull DNA so that the structure will represent them better.

Working at Google has gotten bigger and better than we all imagined. Steve Yegge – Google engineer – works at the Google Kirkland, Washington office. The great office design included the three little buildings with three cafeterias and at least six or eight kitchen areas filled with treats. It has the dessert bar designed with the 1950s style which shouldn’t be overlooked in any way.
One of the cafes of the commercial design – the Sudo Café – has the DIY burger bar, pizza bar, sandwich bar, salad bar, fruit bar and other various temptations. The company also has the valet service where the valet parks your car if there is no spot available.
The office interior design of Google is colorful which defies the traditional and classic office design making the entire place feel more enjoyable yet calm and relaxing enough to work at. Perhaps, this element is not a big deal for most but the décor at Google allows more productivity than in typical cube-farm offices. The décor at Google office is even magical more like taking a stroll on FAO Schwartz toy store.
