Seattle Facebook employees have a new home away from home.

The social media giant officially moved into its new office in South Lake Union, and it looks comfy.

Photos of the approximate 335,000-square-foot space show off not only plenty of new indoor space, but also outdoor room for its employees.

Though no solid plans with Facebook have been released, a proposed building next to the media giant’s newest space will be connected. Some reports speculate that if Facebook needs to expand, the new development will be the logical choice to move employees into.
