Google wanted to expand and renovate an office space with the objective of also increasing wellbeing, creativity and productivity.

ARCH’s design strategy was to add lots of interesting Thai character, following Google’s guideline phrase: ‘beauty, simplicity, adaptability’. Handcrafted accessories using traditional techniques, Thai batten slatted walls, as well as tropical island beach colours were incorporated into the design. The improved wellbeing of the team was high priority. Sectioned offices were built for meetings and privacy, while space was also opened up to allow the flow of natural light, streamlined for efficiency and workflow.

Google’s youthful culture was referenced in the fun ‘event support space’ which includes a cartoon book library.
