In this video, Mike Andes guides managers, including Tim, through the headquarters floorplan, outlining each area's intended use and design considerations. He explains that the media team will have its own dedicated shop with a separate access point, eliminating the need to pass through the main office. The current agent workspace can accommodate 28–30 agents but would be cramped. A catering/kitchen area is designated for feeding owners and hosting workshops, equipped with stoves. Two private bathrooms are noted, and adjacent doors lead to an owner area intended for training workshops. Mike proposes constructing a wall along the desks to create a windowless studio, complemented by a glass wall that allows external viewing into the studio. Additional spaces include a media team break area, a full kitchen, a largely unused storage room that could serve for meetings or one‑on‑ones, and a green‑waste/storage zone for the Bellingham shop. He also mentions that while the floor is concrete, it lacks sufficient strength for truck access.

To the top. So media team could get in the back. What's up, Tim? All right, then this will be— they'll have their own shop in here and their own access point, so they won't have to come through the office. So this is where right now you can fit 28 to 30 agents down below here, but it would be very tight. So then this is going to be for the catering, so they'll have stoves and kitchen stuff so we can feed the owners, or if we do workshops or whatever. Sick. 2 bathrooms here that are private. So these 2 doors will go in. This will be like the owner area or owner training workshop, stuff like that. This is like free studio. I'm thinking like building a wall here over like all of our desks along there. Also, that would then make the studio with no windows and then do glass, do a wall here with glass so the whole setup could be outside looking into the studio. We still have plenty of room to do everything we want with the studio. Then in here, this would be the media team, like Break area. There's a whole kitchen in here. This will be a kitchen and this could be like storage. So that room's gonna be empty 99% of the time. So for like meetings, one-on-ones, you could use the owner room. Storage or the green waste area for the Bellingham shop was like putting the blocks and then just have a bunch of space back there. This will all be concrete, but not enough for the trucks.
