TC Cribs: A Trip To Houzz, The Startup HQ That Feels Like Home


Welcome back for a brand spankin’ new episode of Cribs, the TechCrunch TV show that knocks on the front doors of some of the tech industry’s hottest companies to take a look inside their offices.

This time, we headed about 30 miles south of San Francisco to the leafy, sunny, startup-happy paradise that is Palo Alto, California. There we visited Houzz, the startup that brings inspirational home design ideas to the web. Given Houzz’s focus, we expected to find a nice-looking office — and we certainly weren’t disappointed.

Check out the video embedded above to see Houzz’s homey family photos, bustling working area, and the cocoon you can go to if you want to escape it all (with beautiful classical piano music included.)
