Post designs of your RL office!
« on: February 26, 2010, 11:11:56 am »

This is the scrum team room I spend a lot of my time in:

Code: [Select]
╔═══════╗
║╤╥ ╤ ╥╤║
║╤╥ ╥ ╥╤║
║╤╥     ║
╚══════┼╝

And this made me realize it looks like a programmer sweat shop, but it certainly isn't.

Edited for clarity

Each important dwarf has a large, subdivided room with customized furniture.

The furniture is masterwork quality of whichever metal he/she prefers.

There is a main office room, a bedroom, and a furniture/storage room. The walls are 2 tiles thick for extra privacy.

Code: [Select]
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
X..B..XR...RX
X.....X..C..X
X.....D..T..X
X.....X.....X
X.....X.....X
XXXXXXXJ....X
XH...HX.....X
X.....X.....X
X..S..D.....X
X.....X.....X
XH...HXA...AX
XXXXXXXXXDXXX

X = wall
D = door
B = bed
R = weapon rack
C = throne
T = table
A = armor stand
H = chest/coffer
S = coffin
J = cage with favorite animals in it, artifact furniture item, or level connected to random things in the fortress with masterwork mechanisms to add value

My latest fortress, Crystaltower, was just that- an enormous glass tower. My offices looked like this:

I think the last two posts are misinterpreting the idea here.

Post a DF version of your office/place of business/education in real life.

Tiny room with a spike in the middle attached to a repeater.  :(

Our research group is in a common lab. The entrance door is on the left, and the bottom doors lead to small Postdoc/PhD offices off of ours. The single "|" symbols are cube dividers. Our group is in section 3, and we're the only ones who've brought in a lunch table (center of our section), a microwave, kettle, and bar fridge (all hidden on the table two down from mine).

We also slowly squished section 2 and 4 to make more space for ourselves when the students occupying those sections were at class.  :D

Needless to say the guy next to me hears about DF a lot, as I put it on the second monitor while I finish my thesis.

Despite me being the lowest guy on the totem pole, I got the biggest cube.  Mostly because the 2 across from me, was originally 1 that got split for the new guy.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

The elves have hidden mind control mechanisms (wooden ones) in the brains of the zombie animals.
At the flick of a switch, the animals will become mindless killing machines and every single dwarf in your fortress will be hunted down and eaten. With a side dish of +plump helmet roast+.

Butcher the animals before it's too late!

It is as small as it looks. And above the desk (the row of tables) is my bed. Seeing, as it's also my bedroom.

I work at a call center...
The rows are cubicals with a single computer, phone, and chair.  The managers sit at the end with the head hauncho having his own enclosed cubical with no door.  The x's are stations which represent the computer phone and chairs.  The hancho has cabinets as well.  The managers do too but they are just full of headphones and plastic utensils.

The map looks weird and spaced out but the rows are much closer to one another

X = Wall

Need I say that it's rather long and narrow?
