American Style office interiors

[Erik Stol]

Hi,

My girlfriend who is an professional architect, has designed an extension (about 6000 sqft) of the office of one of her clients. The client loves the way american offices are designed, especially the central hallways etc. You know, the way flooring has been done, covering the walls etc.
The problem is that we can't find any books/magazines up here in the Netherlands that can show us some ideas.

Can you help us out with some ideas of books or magazines?

Thanks in advance,

[John Branam]

Try looking a websites for some of the office furnitutre makers like Hons, and Steel Case. They mey have photos of different set ups.

Erik,
A couple magazines:
Architectural Review http://www.arplus.com/home.htm
Contract http://www.contractmagazine.com/contract/index.jsp
Interior Design http://www.interiordesign.net/

The NeoCon site has links to most major interior furnishing firms in the U.S.

NeoCon is a big show in the U.S. - similar to BATIMAT, but focused only on the interior.

Hope this helps some,
Wes
