Google office in Amsterdam
Interior Design
January 2014
After an extensive refurbishment, Google Amsterdam reopened the doors of its quirky office in January 2014. D/DOCK was given the opportunity to turn this 3.000 square meters office space into an interactive landscape for the local Google team. The garage where founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google, was the inspiration for the interior concept. Quirky elements throughout the office illustrate this era – from graffiti walls and cardboard box lights to the exposed ceilings and container wall in the 70-seater auditorium, also referred to as the Tech Talk.
Sustainability played a vital role in the restyling of the office. Existing meeting furniture, individual work places and parts of the micro-kitchens were offered a second life after refurbishment. D/DOCK adhered to Google’s healthy material list by using non-toxic materials only and designed with a great focus on energy and water consumption.
