It so happened that a small delegation of designers of our modest
iconic company was on a friendly visit in the heart of LiveJournal, in the office of the company
SUP , which is located in Moscow at the very top of the Smolensky passage.

They accepted us as relatives, in my opinion in general a very friendly and democratic atmosphere reigns in the SUP. At the corporation of evil, as is commonly believed in the LJ, there is not at all like it.

To get to the top floor, you need to use a special elevator, which is very unusually decorated. The cabin is a bit dark, but very stylish and futuristic.

The office is a single space in two levels, there are no doors. You can go wherever you want, everyone can see and hear everything.

"Room" for negotiations. To hold secret negotiations here is not an easy task. Glass walls are good: if the meeting is boring, then you can look out the window.

And in the window there is something to see. All of Moscow is in full view. True, we were a little unlucky with the weather, it was overcast.

For some reason, on a “balcony” of the second level, Anton Nosik (
dolboeb ) is sitting gloomy, like the weather.

View of the "negotiation" from the second level.

Here are editors, designers and other people who make LiveJournal.

View of the office from the "designer corner". Cloths on the glass ceiling protect monitors from the sun. I think working with graphics on a sunny day is not an easy task. I would fit the visors to the monitors. :)

One of the fascinations of the SUPA employees is the construction of a mini-city with its own railway. True, now the mini-city is in decline.

The organizer of our visit, Vyacheslav Kuteev (

Beg a lyrical digression about the organization of the working space. I have always been convinced that working in a single space is cool and correct. I myself work the same way. I thought that cabinets and corridors corrupt and make the company closed. But in recent years I have become a bit tired of such an organization. I begin to want peace and tranquility. Again, it’s hard to design or write lyrics if there are distractions. Employees of SUPA claim that they are quite comfortable, but on the other hand, the company has been operating not so long ago. Where is the truth? How to organize a workspace?
