This Design Studio Has Desks That Vanish After 6pm So Employees Can Relax Or Go Home

Amsterdam-based design studio Heldergroen has a cool work culture and a cooler office to go with it. Designed by Bright Green and built by Zecc Architects, the workspace clears out after 6pm to make room for recreational activities so that employees can maintain a healthy work-life balance. Steel cables attached to wooden desks lift them up into appropriately built ceiling cavities, leaving the floor empty so that employees can practise yoga, participate in dance classes and enjoy parties.

At 6 pm, the desks are raised into the cieling

Kudos to the guys at Heldergroen for coming up with an innovative way to provide a healthy work-life balance to their employees. We’d like to see more firms follow suit globally (specially Asian agencies). Would you like a set-up like this at your workplace? What’s your office like in the evenings?
