It’s good to see a few companies get the importance of motivating creative energy with office physical space. The Chief Happiness Officer explores 10 seriously cool workplaces. Predictably Google is on the list which I looked at their amenities back in February asking “What other companies have nice bennies like this?”

My ultimate work area surroundings
- an 80s style arcade covering the floor below me with a bat pole to descend into complete with pool table, foosball, air hockey, batting cage, mini-golf
- a stair machine exercise escalator to take me to different floors
- jacuzzi tub with water resistant LCD monitors to capture every angle and complete with satellite radio. Nothing like a relaxing hot tub to stimulate the mind
- A minimum of three monitors, but preferably six or more stacked monitors all controlled with one keyboard and mouse. Linux and Mac on the top monitors, Windows running on the bottom three monitors
- climate controlled room, workarea and chair
- 3D surround sound workarea
- full fridge with ice cube maker, snow cone machine, cotton candy and popcorn machine nearby
- a mini-movie theater accessible to experience and demo videos
- everything above voice activated with individually programmable human voices. For example if I wanted to jam to Crazy Train while working, I could have Ozzy say: “All aboard!”

What would your ultimate work area be like?
