Unusual offices of the world
Most often, the word “office” is associated with a dull look of the room – gray walls, ordinary tables, computers, stacks of papers and employees doing their work with a absent look. But not for those people who work in companies, which will be discussed below. They were lucky to work in the best offices in the world with an unusual original design. Going to work like a holiday is about them.
The office is a kind of business card of any company, and the mood and performance of employees largely depend on its condition.
Google office in California
Let’s start, perhaps, with a company whose creativity has long been legendary outside of our universe. This is a Google company. As far as the behavior of all the personnel in this company is liberal (there are practically no restrictions and prohibitions), the design of the offices can be called just as unusual.
The California headquarters of Google is a real separate world, where a special atmosphere reigns. Separate buildings in which Googlers work stretched over several blocks. There is everything here – cafes, swimming pools, showers, massage rooms, as well as rooms for relaxation and games.
On the street in the courtyard of the office, onions, beets, strawberries and other plants grow in special pots. Why – remains a mystery, apparently, this is another way for Google to stand out from the rest.

Google office in Moscow
The Moscow office of Google has a completely different look. The main design concept is an office “with a Russian soul”, so each room is decorated in the style of works (films and cartoons) familiar to every Russian person: “38 Parrots”, “The Adventures of Captain Vrungel”, “12 Chairs”, “Snake Gorynych” and many others. And the most favorite room among employees is the recreation area called “Lukomorye”, where you can drink a cup of tea or coffee right under the green oak.
Another popular search engine, Yandex, also has something to surprise in terms of office design solutions. On the street in front of the main entrance to the office there are two life-size figures of horses, painted in a very original way. Inside the office itself, the main design goal was to create a homely, relaxed atmosphere. Soft outlines and fresh shades – that’s what immediately draws attention. The Yandex office can be called truly fresh – the abundance of living indoor plants simply charges employees everywhere with the energy of nature.
And a few more photos of one of the Kiev offices of Yandex. It is the youngest of all existing Yandex offices in the Ukrainian capital. Designers paid special attention to cozy details, which made the overall atmosphere quite pleasant.
Office of the First Patent Company
The office, which is impossible to ignore, belongs to the Moscow firm “First Patent Company”. The range of services of this enterprise covers the registration of various trademarks (including non-traditional ones), the evaluation of intellectual property objects, the registration of copyrights and other services related to patent activities. However, now is not about that.
The company office is a great example of how not to let your employees even mention the phrase “grey working days” in their vocabulary. In such an office, working days will definitely not be boring. The brightest, in our opinion, element of the decor of the room is a wooden pole with pointers. And instead of a picture, they decided to hang a mammoth skull on the wall (they say it’s real), and they also approached the design of an object familiar to all office workers – a water cooler – in a very original and humorous way.
Next, let’s stop at the office of the Three Rings company. The company develops design for computer games, so everything that is in the office should inspire employees to new ideas and develop creative thinking. It is difficult to determine the style of the office interior. It has everything from modern abstract to traditional aesthetic forms.
Looking at the office of the manufacturer of dictionaries Lingvo and other products, ABBYY Russia, you can’t immediately guess what the main activity of its employees is.
