  • Adobe’s headquarters in San Jose might not be what you expect from the outside-shades of gray granite. Inside, however, Gensler redesigned the space to reflect Adobe’s colorful brand, complete with a floor dedicated to Photoshop.

    Offices are as unique as the companies they house. This WSJ series takes viewers inside standout spaces to show the amenities-and quirks-that separate them from the rest, as designers and company executives explain the reason behind it all.

    Open office spaces are a drag for productivity. It’s super distracting, especially with all the foot traffic throughout the day and of course it’s true purpose is because it’s cheaper to throw up dry wall corridors than supply an actual office for employees. Stop with this innovation talk. Call it what it is. If open office space is so great than why do the higher ups get their own private office?

      I dont think that is true, if you are in a cubic isolated, you might use part of your time for doing nothing because nobody is watching you.
      In Open Space if you have a doubt, you can ask and get an answer without leaving your desk.
      Of course we are talking about programming, in which everybody is focus in their own thing being quiet, no an call center.

      Yeah, you're both clueless. Adobe is building a second office. Google owns a small town. Facebook literally built a village. Open office space has nothing to do with space, it's entirely to encourage collaboration and (especially) coerce productivity. It's success is debateable, despite the most profitable tech giants implementing it. Either way, it ain't about space.

    Open office is very problematic, especially for coding and brainstorming. Coz most of our times, we are actually brainstorming and coding, instead of "collaborating" or reaching out to others. If we need to talk to others, we can go to them. Rest of the time, it's really important to have a peaceful, calm and distraction-free private workspace, which open office doesn't provide. My office has a closed office structure (cubicles), and I use earphones all the time, still my efficiency increases significantly when everyone else leaves the room, and it becomes calm and peaceful.
    I have no idea who (and why) thought open office will be a good workspace for brainstorming!
