WIRED & HOTWIRED San Francisco, California, USA WIRED, first published in January of 1993, is a magazine that continues to embrace young American elites, with its shocking design and cutting edge views. Following the launch of Japanese WIRED in January of 1994, the magazine went online as HOTWIRED in October of the same year. Quickly outgrown the first office, the company relocated to its new office space. The requisite for the new office was an environment filled with creative energy with a homey atmosphere. The growth of the office was unpredictable, so it was necessary for the office to be flexible and able to self-reproduce like a living organism. The desks in the open space are nothing but simple boards propped on top of common filing cabinets. Amidst the rough disorder, there is an enthusiasm that cannot be contained. The work hours and places are completely up to each staff, this is WIRED’s way of ‘Luxurious Office’, where everyone is given the right to choose one’s own work style, and the tools to guarantee them are readily available. The freedom of time and place means the equipment of the following: a portable personal computer, the line and system to execute at high speed and the comprehensive networking of all.           Location: San Francisco, California, USA     Move-In Date:     Floor Area:     Workforce:     Building Design:     Interior Design: John Holly     Interview Date: 1995.11
