Cool Spaces: eBay Offices

WORDS Mary Garner


The eBay offices in San Francisco were created by design firm Gensler with a layout that focuses on the company’s principles: experiences, relationships and stories.

The designers integrated items sold on eBay as part of the design and incorporated them into the furniture, graphic elements and art in the office. The sixth floor office supports a diversity of work styles while connecting employees with the eBay experience. Experiential spaces are scattered throughout the floor with a large open kitchen/lounge area to bring employees together. Small “think” rooms, with height adjustable desks, offer private spaces to work in the otherwise open-plan environment. Teams also have access to more laid-back comfortable areas to work undisturbed.
