Four tech and finance companies rock out at the office:
1. Firm: AECOM

Standout: Embossed ceramic wall tiles replicate Antoni Gaudí’s reliefs on local sidewalks, while the tile colors allude to the Mediterranean, also nearby.
2. Firm: Tim Murphy Design Associates
Project: SurveyMonkey

Standout: Pebble-shape ottomans by Ichiro Iwasaki are the perfect complement to the flowing rivulets CNC-milled into reception’s walnut canopy and wall.
3. Firm: Studio O+A
Project: Yelp
Location: San Francisco, California
Standout: Lengths of textiles, draped overhead in the lounge, combine with a Bosphorus-blue wall, behind a coffee bar, to evoke the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
