Ideal startup office environment?
noodle: look, lets not get too fancy here.  these are the basics, in my opinion:  * good chairs
  * big monitors, multiple monitors if necessary, and computers powerful enough to do your work smoothly
  * windows, greenery and open spaces
  * aesthetically interesting offices that are well designed and laid out
  * a fun, but not too fun break room, perhaps with a wii, darts, or ping-pong table.  the key is movement.
  * free snacks/drinks.
  * no helicopter management

edited to add:  * casual dress code

there are some other "standards", but i don't know how much i agree with some of them.  also, there's a lot to say about the structure of the company and management style/practices, but thats not really going to change with office space.  i included helicopter management because it relates to the physicality and atmosphere of the space itself.
