The new Google Office in Amsterdam was redesigned by top Interior design studio D/DOCK. Inspired by the garage where founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google, D/DOCK turned this 3.000 square meters office space into an interactive landscape for the local Google team.

“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.”

The Amsterdam office is considered an intelligent landscape. Each individual work place is window adjacent – so if you work for Google you have a 180º view over the city of Amsterdam.

“Each floor gives a nod to typically Dutch elements – whether it is the carrier cycle reception desk, the Stroopwafel ceiling panels, Gingerbread wall covering or the Delft Blue graphics in the restaurant. The re-used Febo snack wall that once served the Amsterdam cafeteria, now acts as a distribution point of computer accessories.”

Coen van Dijck from D/DOCK says the Google Office is a feel good office: “It is a place that makes the employee perform better by offering a work environment that meets their needs”, he explains. “Happiness, comfort, flexibility, relaxation, well balanced nutrition, exercise, daylight, fresh air and visual stimulation are some of the fundamentals that makes this office a healthy one”,

The office restaurant can set up to 80 Googlers and Google’s Healthy Food program guaranties well-balanced menus. It is also equipped with a gym, meditation room and the desk bikes all offer opportunities to stay in shape, both physically and mentally.
