With the growing popularity of netbooks, even software vendors have started to show immense interest in netbooks. Now, Corel has released a Home Office suit that is specially tailored for the netbooks. Some analysts kept saying that netbooks are just good enough for plain web-surfing and some light media on-the-go, but we knew that they can do much more than that. The Corel Home Office is a 3-app suit that can handle Word, Excel and Powerpoint presentations on a netbook easily. Corel is selling the Home Office suit for $69.

If an office felt more like a living room, might its occupants linger longer Offering an affirmative are Denizen case goods from Coalesse, a Steelcase division that bridges the work/life divide with flexible, residential-inspired furnishings. WilliamsSorel’s Otto Williams and Jess Sorel envisioned pieces equally palatable for home, office, or home office—nine MDF components veneered in homey oak, teak, or ash and generally supported by tubular-steel bases in chrome, brushed nickel, or five powder-coated colors.
Self-closing doors and drawers add convenience to storage units. Consider the credenza, 52 inches wide, and the cube or wardrobe storage towers, 35 or 52 inches high. A made-to-measure attitude manifests itself with the overhead compartments, in widths of 52, 72, or 96 inches, and the bench, in lengths of 72 and 96 inches; the longer version can also accommodate storage elements. Options for the tables—a round one at 48 inches in diameter and ovals at 54¼ or 72 inches long—are a white lacquered finish and integrated technology-access points. A console, a tablet table, and three secretaries round out the series.

Once a gigantic warehouse, this vast interior is now home to the headquarters of the Disney Store designed by Clive Wilkinson. Perhaps the most playful and interactive part of the design is the meeting space shown above. Inspired by toy building blocks as well as the exterior brick of the building, the walls can be deconstructed and turned into seating.
This divider-and-storage honeycomb wall forms a visual barrier, space-shaping wall and essential enclosure for a second and smaller conference area. Like the first, this space is largely open to the vast spaces of the rest of the complex – visible to workers in the high-ceiling office areas above.

It was a toss-up. Winning the design-build competition for the California Department of Transportation District 3 headquarters in Marysville, David Martin of AC Martin Partners wasn’t quite sure which was tighter, the state’s $65.7 million budget or a program shoehorning more than 700 people into 208,000 square feet. The architect was also going to be following in some pretty big footsteps. Mention Caltrans, and word association inevitably conjures up the Morphosis-designed District 7 counterpart in downtown Los Angeles. Was Martin looking to compete with that perforated aluminum skin and neon lighting installation?
Not at all. The Marysville Caltrans, he comments, is a “real office building.” It’s all about interiors, sustainable ones at that. Officially called the Leo J. Trombatore State Office Building, named after a Caltrans director from the 1980′s, it’s designed to be 27 percent more energy-efficient than code requires—as well as promoting efficiency among members of the workforce, who used to be spread out in 1930′s bungalows all around this Central Valley town 40 miles north of Sacramento.

Sean Wayne steps into the headquarters of the education-software company Blackboard in Washington, D.C., and is nearly bowled over by several employees bustling past from different directions. “It’s really active today. This is fantastic!” he says with a grin. “This is exactly what we designed the space to do.” In addition to Wayne, director of interior design and associate principal at Hickok Cole Architects, that “we” consists primarily of designer Jessica Maples. Their team transformed 112,000 square feet in a granite-faced 1980′s office building—a street-level corner lobby and the three top floors—into a space that promotes the company’s brand in every detail and connotes professionalism while encouraging creativity.
