Nobody wants to be cramped in like sardines in a tin, but usually that’s how office buildings are packed in business districts. However, if you are from Spain’s architecture firm Selgascano, you get to design and work in the most awesome office I’ve ever seen. It’s called ‘Office in the Woods’ and it is designed by Jose Selgas and Lucia Cano of the company. It’s an amazing and innovative design that is a one long, tunnel-like office covered by a curved transparent acrylic window that’s 20 millimeters thick.

The 110-millimeter-thick opaque wall is made from layers of insulated fiberglass and polyester and it keeps the office cool by shading it. The atmosphere is bright always as the window ushers in lots of light. There is a pulley system and it lets the slab of one end of the office to be raised or lowered to ensure it doesn’t get too warm. I wish I worked in a place as cool as this office.
