About the Show
Picking up from Adii Rockstar and his tour of the Woothemes' (awesome) offices we have been dying to you show around our area.
Contrary to popular belief we don't work from home, the offices are our offices, and there just happens to be a cottage on site which I have been using until I find a better place to sleep (unlikely)... so we dont work at home, we sleep at work.
Obox HQ is shared by two companies, Peresoft and Obox. I will be giving you a tour of both offices as well as our incredible garden which can double up as a tiny golf course.
You can have a look at some other awesome offices here:
- Bandwidth Blog - Office photos
- The offices of Adii Rockstar
- Famous Tweeps : window view
- The Workstations of Popular Websites
We would be super stoked if you could post a link to photos of your work area / office, so please dont be shy and drop a link!

Beautiful. That view is amazing. I hope you guys don't take it for granted.
Are the beaches nice there? I would be down there every day.

Wow, what a great view you have there, and the weather always looks nice, I would be working outside all the time, get the laptop out and go up there. I hope one day I work somewhere half as nice as there.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. Kyle, trust me we do not take it for granted - I think when we were a lot younger we used to but as we have gotten a bit older we have learnt to appreciate the area we work in to the point that we cannot believe it ourselves.
In terms of the beaches... Marc and I aren't really beach goers but I can tell you that they are awesome. The area where we stay has no waves to speak of (its like a giant lake) but its still cool to visit.

If you ever feel like swapping the sun, lovely views and mystical garden for a dark room in England, about 300 miles from any beach, with no views and terrible weather then let me know, I might be able to sort out a office trade for you guys.

Hey guys, thanks for the walk-through of your office and the grounds - great view from your desk David (a little jealous but I am dealing with it). Good to see the spot that brings you the inspiration and great results!

I think we should start a studio swap tour. We can experience each others culture and environments. Wow.

I'm with @divinefusion, an exchange program is highly in order here. :-) What a spectacular view to have. I'm selflessly offering to be a test case for this exchange program. :-)

P.S. Did I mention that I play golf (badly) and that I'm quite a gracious loser on the links. :-D

Wow, awesome offices! Must cost a fortune in rent. Quite Jealous, although can't complain too much, I've got a nice view of the Botanical Gardens in Melbourne out my window.

Wow, I'm so jealous of your office.... it is amazing how great your view is. The inspiration must flow being surrounded by all of that nature. Keep up the good work guys!

Your view is stellar guys! leave the door open all the time! nice office.

What I am hoping for is for this topic to go 'viral'. So whether is with a normal camera or video camera we can show everyone inside our work space.
It started with Adii, now us and it can move on to each person. Then we can link to each other or post a massive list of everyones work space?

@Kyle Lol! tweet me a link :P @David I have seen several blogs that show peoples work spaces, I believe @bittbox did a series last year. I've also seen posts about 'what a designer has in their bag". Fun stuff. I think it would be fun to have a "this is my studio" feature on your blog, allowing users to post pix vids of their work spaces.//

You live in the most beautiful city on earth, I think.
How amazing to have that view outside the door immediately beside you! At first I wondered why you'd ever close it, but if it were open, you'd never get anything done. :-)
David Perel 10 Jun, 2009 18:11:56 PM
The draft from outside can be quite cold, so I have to close it sometimes!!

Loving the thought of chilling out in one of the hidden spots in your garden!
