Google’s beach-hut-filled London office charmed the design community and beyond with its playfulness and primary-coloured kook when it opened for business in 2010 (onoffice 50). But despite the success of the Scott Brownrigg-designed space, the firm opted for a different approach for Google Engineering’s headquarters on London’s Buckingham Palace Road, commissioning architects Penson to drop the kindergarten palette and develop something a little more grown up. For this Onoffice feature, I spoke to Penson lead designer Anna Pizzey to talk about the futuristic design for Google, gaining inspiration from programming languages, and getting coders to talk to each other through clever floor planning.
