How to design an office for designers?

One question that came up at my session on Leading breakthrough projects at UIE 13 last week was how to design an office for a team of designers.

I’ve been asking around but haven’t found either a well written description of what a manager decided and why, or some research into how to structure spaces for creative teams.

Joel Spolsky’s writeup on the Bionic office comes close, but it’s written about designing an office for programmers, not creative types in general. This is a great start but I’m looking for more.

If you know of other writeups of office redesigns (including how to design a design studio), or research into how to design a workspace for creatives, please leave a comment. Cheers!
