37 Signals’ New Office

May 18th, 2010

37 Signals is building a new office.

How they’re doing it sounds great. Rather than individual offices, where people work privately all day, they are building communal work areas along with team rooms and private rooms. Designing a building so people work better is a fascinating subject, and I think that’s the right approach. It forces people to mix and talk, but it allows them to work privately when they need to.
