The wacky tech office is a post-millennium cliche. So it should come as no surprise that Dropbox’s new San Francisco HQ has such odd-ball features as a basement karaoke bar, floating balls of moss, and a room covered in Delft-inspired tile.
Designed by the office interior mavens at Rapt Studio, the sprawling 300,000-square-foot space was separated into distinct design chunks or “neighborhoods.” Rapt was inspired by the social topographies of cities to consider each area as a separate stylistic enclave where different departments and temperaments could thrive. Each area has open areas and meeting rooms designed to fit the work and social needs of everyone from collaboration lovers to solitude seekers.
