We knew we had to create something special for the people who keep everything running. Games rooms, music studios, an auditorium, whiteboard walls and “flight pods” that we invented specifically for Google didn’t seem like quite enough, so we made the coffee room out of compressed sheets of fresh coffee shavings too.

We took Google Engineering’s philosophy and unlocked its slick, futuristic casing to reveal the inner workings and the beauty of engineering to expose the inspiration for L3/L4.

Our concept for Google’s engineering headquarters’ interior design focused on the need to let creativity run wild. We filled the building with whiteboards, workstations and creative – and playful – breakout areas. We even built a coffee lab made of compressed coffee grounds – and ‘The COG’ – complete with mobile phone jammers for quiet time. Privacy, daylight and acoustic separation are still at the heart of the layout and the workplace interior design.
