Crafting an Awesome Office

[Alex]

Howdy everyone, we'll be moving to a new office space late this year/early 2014, which means we're beginning to plan for it. Our team has some great ideas, but I'm sure there are many more that we haven't come up with, so I'd love your feedback. We'll stay downtown and have a budget, but for now, I just want to capture everything I can before we whittle it down. Some areas that would be very helpful:

1. Photos of great offices for a product/engineering team. I'm collecting samples at http://pinterest.com/alex/the-next-office/ if you want to see what I've gathered.

2. Things you did or wished you did when you selected your office space (or wish the selectors had done). Big ideas or tiny details - anything is helpful!

3. Tips, tricks and suggestions for going through this process. 

Thanks!

Alex
