As we’ve shown before, Google offices are typically some of the most extravagant, fun, and energizing spaces seen in today’s work world. Their Toronto office, while not as large or sprawling as their Mountainview, Zurich or Stockholm offices, it is still of the same flavor and spirit.
You of course see their famous cafeteria areas that boast free employee meals, and a wonderful play area complete with foosball, video games, and upside-down umbrellas. The workstations as cubes, but not so high as to feel trapped or isolated. Google employees also are very skilled at making their work spaces their own, though not quite as good as Zappos employees. The office also features many recycled elements from the doors and other wooden features, to the Google logo that is sprawling along the ceiling.
Naturally, the office is colorful, complete with the live search screen, but the space also has some elements that bring Canada’s culture into the office like their old chairs from the Montreal Forum. Overall, Google’s Toronto office is another great one.
Here is a pretty great video that not only shows what the Google office in Sydney is like, but also gives the perspective of what the ideas were going into the design.
When it comes to well-known companies, Google is not one of them. I had to Ask Jeeves who they were, and even he didn’t know. So suffice it so say, Google makes widgets, and people like them.
We’ve shown quite a few examples of Google’s extravagant offices, and folks, this one is just basically a normal office, with Googly colors thrown around for good measure. They do have a nice pantry with plenty of snacks and drinks, to enjoy while working (playing foosball). Now while the office isn’t too spectacular in and of itself, they do have a wonderful view of the city.
Here is a quick video tour of Google’s Chicago office space. As you can see it has most everything other Google offices have like free food, live search tvs, bright colors, and a creative team-friendly atmosphere.
Merry Christmas Eve! Today, we are lucky enough to be bringing something brand new to the internet. Pictures from inside of Google’s newest office space in Stockholm, Sweden. This new space was designed by Swedish Architecture firm, Camenzind Evolution, the designers of the now famous Google Zurich Office. See ALL Google offices here.
When beginning to design the office, it was learned that the employees wished to maintain a small-company atmosphere and leave a Swedish fingerprint on the space, all while combining several Swedish offices into a centralized location for engineers and the marketing and sales divisions.
The office is filled with everything we know to be Google, though with a bit less of the very extravagant elements the Zurich space contained. The conference rooms are themed with famous Swedish inventors like Linne, Ericsson, Nobel, and Bohlin. Several of the other rooms have unique themes as well. Google just seems like a fun company to work for, and this office doesn’t change that belief in the slightest. Plenty of places to play on different games, a great looking kitchen area, and of course many places to lounge make this Google office one of the best. And naturally, this branch of Google pays employees with meatballs.
As we’ve shown before, Google offices are typically some of the most extravagant, fun, and energizing spaces seen in today’s work world. Their Toronto office, while not as large or sprawling as their Mountainview, Zurich or Stockholm offices, it is still of the same flavor and spirit.
