PROJECT GALLERY
REVOLUTIONARY HQ
Global architecture & interior design agency PENSON, recently completed the revolutionary design of the Head Quarters for Google, located in Victoria, London. This HQ offers a shrewd sliding-scale of areas ranging from spaces for total solitude, through to full-bore group collaboration in many different guises. With PENSON’s trade mark Flight- Pods, Huddles, Makers Workshop, Route-Masters bus complete with zebra crossing, fully height adjustable desks with intermediate shelves, awesome video conference rooms and very neat design details galore throughout the space, this is a very cool space for Google’s technology Engineers. PENSON worked with the desk manufacturer Elite to tweak their existing product design to provide just a little extra height adjustability for full stand- working practices. Between rows of desks PENSON inserted bespoke shelving to help screen desks at differing heights, whilst providing a huge linear length of shelving for personalisation artefacts. Spaces such as the workshop continue to recycle and thrive on Google’s Red List of healthy ingredients in terms of building materials and finishes. Each space is different yet is linked by some very cool circulation routes that always provide inherent opportunities for collaborating, grabbing a print you’ve sent or grabbing a vista into a cool nook & cranny to brighten up one’s day. PENSON have used recycled seat belts & scaffold poles to create “not-seen-before” details to economically design-up these routes. They are all great fun spaces to connect through.
