PENSON was the one tasked to complete the office design for Google Engineering HQ. They had infused the headquarters in London with authentic and futuristic design elements as well as in the aesthetics. The computer workstations, auditorium and small offices including the game rooms, music studios and lounge areas have all been fully equipped and clad with futuristic designs. Majority of the walls are built with magnetic white board laminates and as much as this gives the commercial design a modern aesthetics it also made the design ooze with elegance with its glossy look. Apart from the aesthetic element the walls give, it is also functional as the engineers are able to write or draw wherever they want.
The office interior design especially the use of furniture and fixtures are all given a modernistic approach. In the lounge areas – called flight pods – there are a lot of two-tiered sofas. The hallways are also functional as they can be venues for informal meetings. It is clad with faceted stools. The coffee area is filled with monochrome tables and chairs and is overlooking a lawn of artificial grass.

The office interiors are definitely impressive and a must-visit for creative minds in Buckingham Palace Road, London at the Central Saint Giles and Belgrave House. The modern theme is a combination of enterprise, space module and city affair in one location.
The beautiful office is extremely functional while incorporating some refreshing and cool workplace strategies to make it look stylish and sophisticated. Combining the functionality and aesthetic design elements, the cool office is the physical demonstration and representation of Google’s ambition all throughout every phase.

In every small and large nooks and crannies within the headquarters, Google staff can collaborate with each other whether in small or big groups but at the same time can also work productively alone. The best office is spacious yet natural, loose yet clever and functional yet stylish in whatever meaning of the word is. It is not just any ordinary kind of office – it is Google headquarters after all. And with Google, every little space for the benefit of the staff counts.
