Spreading our wings
Tyler Brûlé has his sights set on a new habitat for the various animals in the Monocle zoo.
The opener
Why it’s time to kick off your shoes in the office, the drive to ban drive-thrus and some woolly wanderers flocking to Paris.
Business sense
Organic grocery chain Alnatura has gone above and beyond to create a smart and healthy office culture in its new HQ.
Business and pleasure
They shouldn’t be mixed, right? Wrong. But what can we do to make offices more appealing without making them full of bean bags and silly slides? These HQs have the balance right.
What works?
We were told that workplaces would become less relevant but the opposite is true. Here’s how to improve your lot.
The opener

Bureaux de change

Folk’s festival
Austrian-born entrepreneur Pitzy Folk has turned a derelict Melbourne telephone exchange into a three-storey headquarters where his beverage brand, invested start-ups and an in-house chef all coexist productively.

Keep on trucking
Truckmaker Scania is the first firm to undergo our new HQ Audit. Will the wheels come off as we take a tour of its head office in Sweden?
