dear designboom reader,

refreshed workspaces now introduce convivial offices. take the renovated domino sugar factory where the glass dome lets workers glimpse the new york skyline as they go about their activities. even a space-age home built in the 1970s becomes a creative studio for felipe pantone’s artist residency program, allowing participants to conceive projects within a historical home.

other spaces have let go of the typical aseptic office design to avoid productivity slumps, like studio modijefsky’s playgrounds within the meeting rooms at booking.com’s city campus in the netherlands. those who need to take a power nap in the office or a café can swing by one of the sleeping standing pods with cushioned body pads that can help workers at work doze off for a bit.

thanks for reading!
