Dream Office: The new Google HQ Offices by Penson

Happy New Year! Hopefully 2012 is gonna be a good year for all of us. On a side note, I’ll strive to update this blog more this year too.

If there’s one type of interior space that I would like to design more of this year, it would be of corporate offices. Penson designed a great Google HQ that someday I would like to draw inspiration from. Take a look at some of these photos.

I love the general color scheme of gray, red and white. There’s also unconventional pieces of furniture scattered around to encourage creative and impromptu meetups.

Again, the color scheme is carried out at the workstations. I love the simplicity of the work desks, which might encourage cleanliness to the employees. The elongated hallway is dressed up with the floor pattern of the carpet, which breaks up the tunnel effect.

If I worked there, I’d probably be frequenting this area for coffee breaks. Being the lover of coffee that I am, this is such one cozy nook to relax in.

Informal collaborations are strongly encouraged in this office. I love that the whole design of the interior takes from the concept of veering away from traditional office environments. This one is at a public corner hallway.

I just noticed that the overall look of the office might be leaning towards the masculine side, that’s just about the only thing that could have been improved upon. It would have been nice if it also had some feminine elements blended into the existing masculine aspects of the design. Otherwise, it still makes my list of being one of my dream offices.
