Love it, I'm sold! The dark wooden bookshelves should be in the brick room with a couple of reading lamps and the whiskey bar :D

Looks like lot of huge, beautiful places for hanging out, and one chaotic, cramped place to actually do work.

That is a beautiful, amazing office, except for the part where people work. I will not work in an open plan office like that. That is my opinion but as far as I understand most scientific studies support it. As opposed to industry and agile consultants hand waving arguments.

  I will not work in "everybody gets an office" plans ever again. It felt like I was the last man on earth every day, you'd never see anybody. Horribly isolated environment. Glad to work in an open plan office.

    I've been in both, and here are my two bits: It's awesome to work in an open plan with other people who are working on THE SAME THING you are working on, and it absolutely sucks to be surrounded by people who are working on completely different things. Also bad: not being able to find a place to work together on something with other people. And the worst: not being able to find a quiet place to concentrate, when you need to. I think the answer is a combination of quiet offices with very many small conference rooms that can be claimed for projects... and a large, anything-goes space (like a cafeteria) for when you don't mind complete chaos.
