We had the pleasure of touring CultureMap's Houston office space, located on Wood Street in East Downtown. Given CultureMap's hip and trendy vibe, our expectations were high and the offices did not disappoint. With hardwood floors and the sun shining through the windows, the space has a happy, warm tone. The main area of the space includes a spacious open room for the writers to work and a large kitchen, where almost any meal could be prepared. In the back is the living room type set up with great artwork and great looking (and very comfortable!) furniture. We finished off the tour in CultureMap CEO Stephen Newman's office and saw why CultureMap is inspired by great design.

A question we get quite frequently at TheSquareFoot is, "How much office space do I need?" It is why we created our office space calculator to help prospective tenants gauge the amount of office space appropriate for their business needs. Typically we find that most small businesses and entrepreneurs think they need more space than they really do and our goal is get them into the right amount space for their business. Given all the discussion around the amount of space a company needs (general consensus traditionally was around 200 - 250 square feet per person), we created this infographic showing how much space different levels of seniority in the workplace use:

In a city full of them, Chelsea Market is one of the most widely known destination spots in all of New York City. With the more than 30 shops it has to offer tourists, the area has maintained most of the charm it has held since being constructed around the turn of the 20th century.
