THE BIG IDEA
Inside Airbnb’s breathtaking HQ
From treehouses and cob houses to converted (and grounded) private jets, Airbnb helps people around the world find unique accommodation for their travels. How could this company, then, not operate on awe-worthy premises themselves? 🏛
The online marketplace’s HQ, located in San Francisco, saw inspiration being drawn from actual Airbnb listings for its interior design. This includes color patterns and materials from cities like Kyoto, Buenos Aires and Amsterdam.
In more detail, work spaces are divided into “neighborhoods”, each with its own meeting rooms and communal work areas. Additional spaces in the HQ include a boot camp space and a wellness center with a Japanese theme. ⛩

📝 MONDAY’S TO DO:
Stay hydrated 💧 Ideally, you should be drinking 3–4l of water a day. Coffee and tea will not cut it. (You might want to consider this little trick: add some zero-calorie flavoring to your water!)
