I've seen enough "Silicon Valley" to sleepwalk my way through Erlich's Palo Alto house, and anyone who watches "Parks and Recreation" knows their way around Ron's L-shaped desk.
The folks at Drawbotics, a real estate marketplace that makes 3D renderings and tours of locations, created detailed illustrations of the sets of seven office-set TV shows they love.
