Bijzondere werkplekken: Google hoofdkantoor London
Het hoofdkantoor van Google in London moest een hub van 160.000 m² worden met een zeer modern design en een eigenzinnige kijk op het traditionele kantoor bieden. Het resultaat is een verbluffend variatie van lounge-ruimten en 1.250 niet-traditionele werkplekken. Het beschikt over een geheime tuin, verschillende interieurs die elk een olijke naam hebben gekregen.
Een ruimte met de naam Granny’s Flat is ingericht met gebloemde stoelen en hulpstukken die niet zou misstaan in de lounge van een ouder familielid.

It features a secret garden, ‘Granny flat’ interiors and an allotment – welcome to Google’s new London headquarters.
The 160,000 sq ft hub features cutting-edge design that offers a quirky take on the traditional office.
Occupying half of the ultra-modern Central Saint Giles development in Covent Garden over five floors, renowned interior designers PENSON were given the task of creating a vibrant workspace.
The result is amazing variation of work and lounging space which finds room for 1,250 non-traditional desks.
A space called Granny’s Flat is furnished with chintzy chairs and fittings that wouldn’t look out of place in an elderly relative’s lounge, while the Lala Library hosts a giant semi-circle white sofa adorned with pillows and surrounded by arty and inspirational books.
Surreal workspaces have tongue-in-cheek names such as the Velourmptious snug, a green, padded homage to the traditional British pub, and Snug-lushness, a garish flower-print padded bench seat.
An area dubbed the Town Hall allows seating for 200 people and features velvet curtains, exposed ceilings and a video wall, while the Market Square is a rustic cafeteria area.
For active staff members there is a gym and dance studio, a ‘bikedry’ for cycling gear storage and a shower block for those sweaty from the morning workout, cycle or commute.
For those really wanting to escape the office, a ‘Hedge Your Bets’ secret garden on the roof terrace affords stunning views of London surrounded by grass and foliage – all with wi-fi connection for laptop work.
Eco considerations are at the forefront of design with a high content of reclaimed or recycled materials employed and the use of water-based products and timber floor boards with Eco plywo
De ‘Lala Bibliotheek’ biedt gasten een gigantische witte sofa, versierd met kussens, en artistieke en inspirerende boeken.
