Personal Space Looks like an office, smells like an office . . . well, even if it doesn't, it's an office.

Gone are the days of oceans of gray pinstripes and coffee breaksat precisely 10 a.m. Today's office cultures are as distinctas, well, you are. Offices reflect not only entrepreneurs'personalities but those of your employees as well. Here's apeek inside the headquarters of three very different companies:

Pretty Fly

Headquartered in San Francisco, flyswat Inc., a company thatcreates tools and services for Internet browsing, epitomizes youngNet culture at its finest. Twentysomething founders John Rodkin,Raymond Krouse and Leo Chang, have dumped 3,000 pounds of sand intheir office to create an indoor beach complete with banana plantsand tiki torches-a good complement to walls emblazoned with greengrass and blue skies, and a central boardroom turned game room. Whythe outdoor motif? When you and your 60-plus employees often work70-plus-hour weeks, the office better be fun and convenient. Andconvenient it is--flyswat buys dinner four nights a week, has afully stocked kitchen, futons for sleepovers, laundry facilitiesand a shower.
