Google Office
Designing the new 6,00,000 sqft Hyderabad office of the world’s Largest Search Engine takes a kaleidoscopic turn with five floors of storytelling and graphic-illustrations.
Exploring the universe through surreal and thought provoking imagery, the workspace is an experiential journey through five concepts of infinity– ‘Thoughts’, ‘Reality’, ‘Numbers’, ‘Opportunities’, ‘Dimensions’ and ‘Future & Beyond’.
The office spans five full floors that embody each theme, with an immersive introduction in the main lobby of each floor. A combination of interactive installations and graphic-illustrations carry the narrative through the rest of the workspace, making it both transportive and thought provoking.
The graphic treatment is bold and clean, finding its own interpretation through colour palette and content on each floor. Each artwork is designed to communicate a specific idea within the theme– reminiscent of an art gallery– leaving the viewer to ones own interpretation.

Thoughts
Optical Illusion, anamorphism, infinity mirrors and wordplay; this floor explores the idea that the mind has no rules, just stories built by memory, perception and imagination.
Realities
We have built a world for ourselves over one that existed long before us, and the two constantly overlap, coexist, but also compete. This floor traverses the ‘nature’ of our reality through the surrealism of bringing the outside, inside.
Numbers
Tellers of time, measures of distance, a communication of complex ideas - there are no mistakes in numbers. They count us, locate us, play with us, and unlock for us the infinite secrets of the universe. Here we celebrate this phenomenon of infinity from form to function.
Opportunities
Windows of opportunity present itself when we least expect it; after all, luck is when opportunity meets preparation. Here we explore secret doorways and portals of change, experience how cause triggers effect, shine light over hidden truths and uncover the effect of turning a new leaf.
Dimension
There are realities that exist outside of our physical constraints - the intangible dimensions we have created for ourselves. Here we imagine these other worlds that hold far more promise and possibility than our own, giving us the freedom to experiment, play, learn and build beyond our ordinary capabilities.
Future & beyond
Armed with an incredible ability to build, create and adapt, nothing can hold us back as we leave our reality behind for new horizons. The future brings new technology, higher possibility and unchartered territory — perhaps lightyears away.
