Office fit-ups are more in-line to accommodate an employee as a whole person than a worker.  The notion that you can bring your dog, grab a beer and play ping-pong doesn’t sound like a workplace or a bar, but rather a gathering at a friend’s house.  Architects and landlords have embraced this and are trying to retrofit existing buildings, while incorporating this approach into new construction.
