Because LA Uncubed is just a few weeks away, we feel it's our duty - nay, our pleasure - to celebrate the best that LA's startup scene has to offer. We all know Los Angeles is a beautiful place - the sunshine, the people, the traffic (well, it's mostly beautiful), but what about the offices? Here are some of the most stunning startup offices we've found in the City of Angels.
Beats Electronics

Beats' Culver City headquarters certainly is not tame - but then again, neither is Beats. Boasting a campus of over 11,000 square feet, walls range from blue to red to solid gold to aerial murals of Los Angeles. Also there's caffeine, and lots of it - not one, not two, not three, but four barista bars. Office Snapshots has more on why no office beats Beats', here.
Nasty Gal
Like Beats, Nasty Gal's downtown offices were designed by Bestor Architecture - and it shows. Dynamic light fixtures, exposed brick, and a clean, wide open design (which, let's face it, is a whole lot easier to pull off when you've got 50,000 square feet to work with) make the Nasty Gal HQ an LA standout. For more on the Nasty Gal offices and some of Inc.'s other 2014 favorites, mosey on over here.

Take an old industrial building, retain its gritty charm, sprinkle in some comfy couches and colorful rugs, and you've got Framestore's LA offices. For more pics and info, go here.

If you're going to base your startup in LA, how could you not give your employees the option to work outside? The Honest Company's patio workspace is just one super cool quirk - they've also got a room with a playground for employees who bring kids to work, and framed diapers. Seriously. Business Insider has all the pictures you'll need to see here.
Hulu

Hulu sure knows how to brand - those black couches and green pillows send us to some far away land of streaming video. An arcade room, framed pictures of employees, and wild decorations aplenty make it clear from the outset that Hulu wants its team to have a good time - see it all here.
