It’s a laid-back lifestyle here in Boulder, but that way of life certainly doesn’t carry over to my office where things are constantly speeding along in the fast lane. A few very talented fellas on my Design & Development team recently launched — for the first time — a public blog called Formation. Straight from the horse’s mouth, the purpose of this space is to “give clients, colleagues, friends and prospective hires insight into our culture and the active environment we work in.” It’s still early, but I reckon what we’ll be sharing will be worth reading.

One of the first posts, “New Space“, shows off Wall Street On Demand’s newest digs. The company is growing at a sizable pace, and overflowing into this new office was natural — or so I’m told (I started here just days after the official move-in). Our creative director said:

It was interesting to take an IA perspective to physical architecture and design the space from a usability perspective. Our goals were to foster communication, help make new relationships, provide quiet in the storm, and give people a workspace that was professional (sorry, no dot-com foosball tables) while being adaptable and flexible to the myriad of uses that our team finds for their space.

We tried for art gallery + laboratory + library.

Check it out.
