Website
One Mighty Roar is a web design company that also runs a network of blogs centered around creativity, including this one. They are behind The Nonsense Society (a fine arts community) and Build Internet (web design & development).
The office is located in a former accounting firm’s building in the historical district of Holyoke, MA. The city is best known for inventing the sport volleyball and Steve Porter, the man who remixed the Slap Chop infomercial.
Also in the same building is fellow design company Ten Minute Media. If you’re interested in seeing the process of turning accountant space into creative space, be sure to check out the full Flickr album of the renovations.
The majority of furniture is from IKEA. Highlights include Frederik desks and Griffin Elevator laptop stands. The giant plant also helps add a certain jungle appeal to the space.
Items Spotted
Update:
One Mighty Roar has continued to grow over the past year as a company. They have added two full time employees and expanded their office space. A new coat of paint sets the tone along with an array of new 27 ” iMac’s for getting work done. The office is furnished with Herman Miller Embody Chairs and Galant IKEA desks.

Great! So this is where the roars on BuildInternet originate eh? Cool! Chair looks ultra comfy.

You got it! That’s where we like to think all the magic happens. The chairs are nice, albeit a little warm sometimes. The ultimate goal is to someday make the jump to Aeron chairs. Have you seen them before? Thrones.

@Zach You can (almost) never be too liberal in buying chairs for long work hours. I had a chair once, one day I stretched backwards a little too far. The support for backrest broke, the backrest fell behind the chair. The damn thing had wheels so I went down with it. That impact on the back of my head. Phew..

Nice site. I think this has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing more offices. It’s nice to see the padded chairs that inspire your magic here!

Great office and equally impressive transformation from early-nineties bland to startup chic.

I like the giant plant in the middle because it will make more freshness in the office.

Love it! (Can’t say more) but the chair your suggesting would blow a hole in my pocket

I like the Ikea desk. I have the same one in my “office.” It’s solid and very modern looking.

Aeron chairs are awesome I recommend buying them asap if you work long hours. Currently at my internship I get one they come in handy when sitting for eight hours straight no back pain whatsoever.

@Kiran If you are interested in similar furniture (Herman Miller and such) check out Design Within Reach (http://www.dwr.com/) they typically offer the best price around from what I have seen.

You have nice place to work, but

We had a PS3 at one point, accurately called the “Fat Princess Machine” while it was there.

Gotta love the all purple wall! Everytime I see purple I’ll be thinking about One Mighty Roar. Just goes to show how simple a color can be to help identify a brand. (Purple is the “in” color)
