There has been like 40+ days when temperature got over 25 celcius here in Finland this summer (often time it was 30 or more, hot as in hell). In those times I was very pleased to have my office below the ground level - the temperature was always just fine. @merc-ai: poetic @russell: looks great.

Good for eyes, and generally cool. At home (where most of my personal projects happen) I've got a window with the view of the sky in front of me. Seeing the sky in all its beauty really helps with the mood, and the mood helps with doing things in general - including game development. For work, I need enough lights and a window to glance to.

I've worked in a little box, I've worked in 1000 sq meters (10000 sq feet) open space. Each has it's advantages. The only things that affects me are the temperature (I don't like coding with gloves in my hands and I don't like to sweat like a pig) and the lights (I can't look at a bright monitor in complete darkness). Usually all the places I've worked have window blinds, so I don't have a view. I don’t quite care about the amount of free space around me.

I tend to get a little depressed, and consequently less motivated, in a claustrophobic space. But I've known plenty of people that thrive on the opposite, both artists and coders, who love working in a cave. I was very lucky that the little 900 sq. ft. office we found a few years back has windows across two of the four walls. Here's a photo of my workspace after a rare snowstorm in February. It's 105 degrees Fahrenheit in Dallas today, so this picture feels like a dream! http://bit.ly/9nXF8b I've also noticed that changes in my environment keep me motivated. In my current situation I get that by the change in daylight throughout the day. But when I used to work in a dark loft, I would change the lighting inside myself throughout the day using different lights and lamps.
