Deloitte has an office building designed to engineer the perfect workday for every employee

  • A smartphone app consults your schedule for the day and figures out what kind of workspace you'll need, be it a sitting desk, standing desk, meeting room, or so-called concentration room. No one has an assigned seat - the concept is called "hot desking."
  • When you pull into the garage, a camera analyzes a photo of your license plate to make sure it's really you, and then raises the gate. The app guides you to an available parking spot.

  • Once you arrive at your workspace, the app adjusts the light and temperature settings based on your preferences, which it remembers.
  • The building is designed to feel just like the outdoors, through variations in heat and air currents. Every workspace is within 23 feet of a window, but you won't get distracted by the sounds of the nearby highway and trains, since the specially designed roof mutes the noise.

  • When it's time for a break, you can head to one of the coffee bars, equipped with espresso machines that remember how you take your coffee.
  • If you're staying late at night, you'll notice a small robot patrolling the grounds. If an alarm goes off, the robot's camera can identify the intruder or alert security that it was a false alarm.

Whether you think this supersmart design is creepy or awesome, we may be seeing a preview of our own future offices.
