Tumblr’s New Office

Posted: 08 Jan 2011 03:46 AM PST

Microblogging site Tumblr (Think of it as Twitter on steroids) is making a lot of news of late. After steadily growing their userbase, acquiring millions in funding recently and strengthening their brand at fashion events, they are now adding a new office in Richmond(state capital of Virginia in US). The building they are set to occupy is a 40,000 square feet historic warehouse colorfully revamped by architecture practice 3North.

Although the footprint of the historic warehouse aligns with modern office building standards, the design emphatically avoids the typical building core diagram by pushing service spaces to one edge. This allows for an open and flexible floor plan which emphasizes both the scale of the space and the connectedness of the tenants. In addition, this approach creates a central circulation route which encourages interaction and organizes shared spaces such as reception, an informal lounge, and a large, multi-media conference room.

The Ornate Opulence of a Bygone Era

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 08:06 AM PST

We don’t normally feature hand drawn sketches or water painting illustrations of interiors here. Then, again, water paintings are not normally *this* good. These photorealistic visuals of the opulent interiors of Winter Palace in St. Petersburg were captured in watercolour by artist Konstantin Ukhtomsky in the 18th century, leaving an invaluable lesson on how too much is never enough when decorating a palace.

The Greek Sculpture Hall

Fabulous ceiling and a timeless colour scheme. (I wonder if the dogs were allowed in here?)

The Concert Hall.

Imagine how magnificent this room would look lit by those fabulous chandeliers. The parquetry floor is stunning.

The Coin Storage Hall

Sure beats a money box.

The Gallery of Jewellery

When you tire of choosing jewellery you could admire that incredible ceiling.

The Grand Duchess’s Room

Yet another way to dress a ceiling, drape it in fabric. The flower garland carpet and pink colour scheme exudes femininity.

In an era when artisans were highly valued, nothing was left undecorated. From ceiling to floor no detail was overlooked and nothing was ever too much, but somehow it works and the sheer opulence and pageantry of it all can still take your breath away.
