Google Tech Corners
Hygge at Scale.
Blitz partnered with Google to implement a redesign of spaces within the open office that meet Google’s goals of a workplace that enables teams to collaborate, do focused work, and innovate.
The design solutions break down visual barriers within the workplace and create open informal meeting areas with key points of intersections on each floor. The removal of wall partitions and semi-enclosed nooks allow daylight to penetrate into the interior areas of the floor plan and present a clear visual connection between adjacent open office spaces. A phased approach was implemented, in which two floors were transformed at a time, while the campus was fully functional.

The success of the project related to the skillful coordination between the design team and various consultants. Blitz, whose immersive and nimble process is more reflective of its Silicon Valley tech clients’ than that of a traditional architecture firm, utilized Google products to make coordination efficient and effective.
