Inside Microsoft's revamped Australian HQ

Seen here is the hexagon design that carries through the fourth floor. Everything from the wall art to the coffee cups bear the same design.

Floors one and two are still undergoing renovations and will be completed shortly.

Microsoft Australia's entire office is now based on the concept of hot-desking. Staff are given a laptop and access to a standard set of equipment on each desk so that they can sit at a new location each day.

Each desk comes with the silver and blue Toshiba desktop interface, two large LCD monitors and network connection facilities.

The new kitchen area on level three comes with table football and wall-mounted plasma screens. Microsoft intends to install Xbox 360 consoles complete with the Kinect motion game system for staff to enjoy during their downtime.

Small lounge areas are situated throughout the offices and act as almost-soundproof meeting spaces for informal catch-ups.

Foliage gives way to Microsoft Australia's "nightclub zone" on the fourth floor, with electric blue all around.
