Creative workplaces?The garage is my kind of playground. When you come in you can write on the tables, you can write on the walls and then you can reconfigure the tables to be in any position you want. Everything is on wheels and that allows people to be flexible and be more playful in a way that a typical space and typical conference room just wouldn’t.
