Google’s new London headquarters will be near King’s Cross Station and the pictures show off a swanky new office space indeed. All of Google’s operations in London will be housed under one roof with 11 stories. Architectural firm Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) has designed the building to be eco-friendly and to tie in with the surrounding train stations.
Allford Hall Monaghan Morris director Simon Allford said:
This building is underpinned by cutting edge design intelligence and technologies to provide a sophisticated twenty-first century working environment for Google’s staff.
The architectural approach, which has taken inspiration from King’s Cross and St Pancras International railway stations, complements the local area’s strong industrial heritage and will be a building London can be proud of.
Construction will start in 2014 and will be completed in 2016 or 2017, with the project boasting a price tag of $1 billion. The ground floor of the building will house shops, cafes and restaurants and the rooftop will have a garden.
