For a long time, offices were seen and designed as spaces to be inhabited for a huge bulk of the day, and not much more. But that trend has been shifting — to everyone’s delight. We’re looking back at some fantastic office spaces that show how architects and designers are flexing their creative muscles:

DREA Building by Studio Hidalgo
Built and designed by Studio Hidalgo for an audiovisual equipment company, DREA building is a warehouse of dramatic proportions. An industrial look is reinforced by steel, glass and concrete, and despite its huge size each space has a “domestic” dimension that conveys comfort to the people who occupy them.
