A goal of the office at 452 Tehama was to maintain O+A’s “family” culture—with a family considerably larger than it once was. A big kitchen with a 22-foot standing-height table, full espresso facilities and a high definition flat-screen TV provides space for shared meals, catered events and all-hands meetings. Conference and phone rooms of varying size allow teams to work together more efficiently—and spontaneously. A workshop with a heavy tool bench gives people a place to build stuff together. All the necessities of communal living—short of a bedroom and shower—are provided at the Tehama Street office.
