For years designers and facility staff have been trying to figure out the perfect workplace configuration to stimulate creativity.  Sitting quietly in individual offices? Collaborating in open plan offices? Coffee bars? Innovation spaces with beanbag chairs?
After reading an article in Time Magazine this week: Why Morning Routines are Creativity Killers, I think I have figured out the five key elements of a perfect office for creative types:
1. Fancy coffee for all. 

2. Spa (including all services)

3. Showers galore (in keeping with the spa idea)
 
4. Video walls playing nonstop loops of cute, happy laughing babies. 

5. Puppies

And there you have it: the five key components of a creative office space.  Genius!  I’m ready for the first pilot – who’s signing up?!
