Ask HN: What's the name of that office design layout?
where the deeper you go into a company office and further away from the entrance you are, the more that space is reserved for deep work, quiet and concentration?
- samstave 6y agoNot sure - but as opposed to the "open office" concept, one thing I loved about Intel was the 6' tall grey cubicles they had -- the term you might be looking for is "lab" Isn't it great being a lab manager where few people have access to your lab.... When I was at FB, and they were building MPK west... they only built 5 offices (with bullet proof glass and escape hatches to the below) for only the C-suite... 3,000 engineers in an open office environ. Dope building, but enforces an anti-culture that I personally don't like... no quiet privacy at your intended made desk - and you have to spend cycles "looking for privacy"
- maxtilford 6y agoSounds like the Eudaimonia Machine concept: https://blog.fentress.com/blog/the-eudaimonia-machine-a-space-concept-for-the-21st-century https://blog.fentress.com/blog/the-eudaimonia-machine-a-spac...
