			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Powerlight, Inc. is a lead designer, manufacturer and installer    of photovoltaic integrated building systems &#8211; in other words, they deal in solar energy. Fittingly, when <a href="http://www.lwarc.com/index.htm">Leger Wanaselja Architecture</a> was hired to complete Powerlight&#8217;s office space, they went solar. This may be one of the best looking office spaces I&#8217;ve ever seen; take a look:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2008/05/pl-conf-from-pumpkin-210x279.jpg" alt="pl-conf-from-pumpkin-210x279.jpg" /><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2008/05/pl-into-pumpkin-210x267.jpg" alt="pl-into-pumpkin-210x267.jpg" /></p>
<p>According to the Leger Wanaselja Architecture website, the once open office space was divided into zones of sorts, to allow for a feeling of space division, but the plan looks really nice and open, welcoming, even split, I think. The room elements are made of salvaged,    low toxic or resource efficient materials.</p>
<p>For the sign in area the architects actually designed both a desk and wall with Powerguard panels &#8211; photovoltaic roofing product. Very cool and innovative, right? The office is a showcase for the company&#8217;s product which is just clever beyond words.</p>
<p>Look at the cool conference room up close:</p>

<p>Lovely. I think I want this office.</p>
