Notice how the work areas are really dark?

I haven't seen a workplace like this in a really long time. I personally love dark workspaces, but they seem to have become uncommon - substituted for "bright and airy" fluorescent lit hellholes. I wonder how / why Pixar went with it.

That whole area with the garden shed, as well as the render farm, look great!




The workspaces are dark because a lot of the work is very color sensitive. A good number of people can't have any ambient light around to do their jobs correctly.


I'd rather have natural light than dark, or fluorescent-lit hellhole.


Natural light is only available 10-12 hours a day, and most hackers' days are longer than that.
