Google has recently moved into an incredible new office space Tel Aviv, Israel. Designed by Camenzind Evolution, in collaboration with Setter Architects and Studio Yaron Tal,
the impressive 85,000 sqft campus occupies 8 floors in Electra Tower.
With incredible views of the city, the space is set primed for not only
giving employees the right tools for work, but also those for
inspiration and creativity. Colorfully-themed rooms and local styling
are something I’ve come to love about Camenzind Evolution’s Google
office designs. 50 more images after the break...
“It is a new milestone for Google in the development of innovative work
environments: nearly 50% of all areas have been allocated to create
communication landscapes, giving countless opportunities to employees to
collaborate and communicate with other Googler’s in a diverse
environment that will serve all different requirements and needs.
There is clear separation between the employees traditional desk
based work environment and those communication areas, granting privacy
and focus when required for desk based individual working and spaces for
collaboration and sharing ideas.
Each floor was designed with a different aspect of the local
identity in mind, illustrating the diversity of Israel as a country and
nation. Each of the themes were selected by a local group of Googlers,
who also assisted in the interpretation of those chosen ideas.
Being in Israel, for lunch the Googlers can choose from three
amazing restaurants, for non-kosher, kosher dairy and kosher meat, each
of the restaurants designed to it’s own style and theme.
Only 7 of the 8 rented floors in Electra Tower are actually occupied
by Google. The remaining floor gives space to a new ‘Campus’, which was
also opened in December by the Israeli Prime Minister. The ‘Campus Tel
Aviv’, powered by Google for Entrepreneurs, is a new hub for
entrepreneurs and developers, providing a base for start-up companies,
and is only the second Google ‘Campus’ worldwide.
Sustainability played a vital role to Google in the development of
their new Tel Aviv offices and the project is currently awaiting LEED
‘Platinum’ certification, the first of its category in Israel.”
