Those glass walls give me nightmares. I currently work for a company where once in a while I have to spend a whole day in an office with glass walls everywhere. By the end of the day I just want to lock myself in the bathroom, the feeling of constantly being on view and constantly seeing movement drives me completely nuts.

Glass walls are mostly used to ensure natural light is able to get into the innermost parts of the building. But your nightmare is my joy. This diversity in humans is one of the things which makes creating the idea work environment for all so difficult.

It certainly has an expensive ambiance. Personally I don't like glass-windows because of their acoustic properties.

Another thing I wonder: are office plants totally out of the picture nowadays?

Sorry, but to me that office has the charme of a morgue.

The choice of materials and colors (metal, stone, glass and black) feels more suited to a parking garage than an office.

Also glass walls do not help with visual distractions. They can in fact make them worse due to reflections.

That huge whole wall whiteboard in the teamroom is awesome.

If you navigate to the photos section, there is a collection of photos 'brainstorm rooms' displaying a variety of ways those are installed.

One important thing ton consider is not wasting $$$ on coating the walls above about 7' or below 3' as it is basically unusable without those funny library ladders.

Is that an anechoic chamber? Why would they need that?

Ubiquiti makes wireless equipment, so this is not the traditional sort of anechoic chamber: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_chamber#Radio-frequenc...
