US studio Clive Wilkinson Architects has completed a new Texas office for tech company GLG, which features an open-office plan and a variety of communal workspaces.

The project was designed for Gerson Lehrman Group, or GLG. Founded in 1998, the tech company offers an online learning platform and network service for professionals.

The company formerly occupied two lower floors in a tower in downtown Austin.

It commissioned LA-based Clive Wilkinson Architects – which previously designed GLG's global headquarters in New York City – to design a new, larger office for the 15th and 16th storeys of the same building.

Totalling 42,000 square feet (3,900 square metres), the new office is nearly double the size of the old space. It accommodates 450 employees spread across two contiguous floors.

Whether a self-initiated project or embarking on new work for a client, creating a space that is captivating to the eye but also supports the way one works and feels is important. Inspiring and collaborative environments are what we thrive off of here at One Workplace. Back in 2015, Twitter opened the doors to their location in Toronto Canada.  Being a part of the development for an office space for one of the most popular social media platforms in the world was exciting to say the least. Designing the Twitter Toronto space was obviously one of those projects that required a dynamic vision that included tons of energy, distinction and a dose of adventure.

Weaver Architects has developed the new offices of law enforcement technology firm Axon located in Seattle, Washington.

Early on in the design process, the CEO came to us with an idea that became the driving focus of the project. The concept? To craft a porthole into the future of technology. The goal was to create the feeling of not walking into a corporate office, but instead, boarding a spacecraft that will transport one to unknown territories of time far ahead of us.

With such an ambitious concept, the design of the client’s new home required inventive choices. The most noticeable is the first visible feature – the front door, which has been designed to resemble a spaceship hatch. When the heavy metal doors slide open, guests are greeted with an interactive panel to confirm their identity before entering.

In May, Instagram shocked the internet when it unveiled a sleek, rainbow-gradient upgrade to its Polaroid icon. Now that new aesthetic feels like old hat, and the company is incorporating it offline into the decor of its new office in Menlo Park, California.

Last week, the company moved offices from one floor of a building on Facebook's original campus (not the new, Frank Gehry-designed one) to a three-story building of its own. Working with the San Francisco-based architecture firm Gensler, Instagram designed the space to feel like a 3D version of the app. "Offline, that translated into different textures, bright colors, and lighting," says Instagram's head of design Ian Spalter. They swapped out the dark wood and denim of their previous office for clean lines, neutral tones, and vibrant splashes of color.

Originally built in 1926, the Maltz Building in New York's Soho neighborhood was a factory producing printed materials during the mid-20th century. Today, the expansive loading dock in the rear of the historic building has been transformed into an entrance for the website-building platform Squarespace, whose new offices occupy the top three floors.

Squarespace moved into the recently refurbished space in March, consolidating its 322 New York-based employees. Where heavy machinery, factory lines, and reams of paper once stood, a sleek—and very serious-looking—modern office has risen. It's a fitting reuse of an old printing press for the information age.
