Back in 2004, Facebook was still a post-dormroom project on wobbly colt legs. Now, the company lives in a 150,000-square-foot headquarters that is more reminiscent of an early Google or Microsoft than a scrappy start-up. “Yeah, we’ve come along way,” says CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Swiss Life's brand-new headquarters is one huge spiral ramp, which can be reconfigured into offices or meeting spaces as the business changes over time.
Let's say you're based outside NYC. But you come here often enough to need an office. But not so much that it's worth renting one long term. How's someone who's design obsessed supposed to pull that off? You can't very well sell your next high-tech, high-design Ponzi scheme over drinks at the Holiday Inn.
