The PONS + HUOT Offices by French architecture practice Pottgiesser could be considered a contemporary equilibrated combination of styles for the headquarters of two companies, Pons and Huot. The space is compartmented into two horizontal planes, with a wooden platform that serves both as ceiling and as desk surface. Housed in a restored 19th century industrial hall, the office is supported by a steel frame covered in self-cleaning glass. A solid oak platform acts both as a working surface for the offices and as the ceiling for meeting rooms recreational room and restrooms located just below. The four lateral sides feature spaces for archives, cloakrooms and the kitchen. The unique organic arrangement serpents along the interior, creating separate office spaces with an intricate pattern. Transparent plexiglas domes delimitate each office space. Ficus panda trees with disguised planters offer the feeling of a luscious open space, filled with light and vegetation.

That looks sooo cool! No more burnout there, I guess.
It might feel weird to work inside the glass bubbles though.
Gosh, I love all that natural light and the plants and almost everything about this office! *-*
Whats the point in those plastic hemispherical things? Also what happens if you want to get from one side of the office to the other? you cant just walk across you need to go underground?
This one comes in handy! I just posted something on my blog about working with day-light and how important it is. Will create a link to this, love it,

THIS is so AWESOME! I love the use of lighting in this area. It looks like a greenhouse.
Of course, if a person would rather have privacy than the transparent bubbles…
It seems like glasshouse at first sight but then it is understood that this is an office place, so very utopian and green design.
fantastic! bubbles are great for sound, totally a fan of them and the fact they are clear as well. looks like a very productive environment
so nice… very unique design, good job
Some stunning ideas! Brightening up the office and making it more lively is perfect; something which more companies should think of doing – reduce the stress a little!
