can you (or anyone else) think of any portfolios/sites with more office and workspace design, by the way? I'm looking for a bit of inspiration for a possible project that I have coming up next yearconcerning the design of a few offices</P>

Hey Mike,</p>

Not sure where you can get it in your neck of the woods, but check out the Best of 2007 issue of Interior Design magazine. I think it was excellent.</p>
