Google and YouTube, 6 Pancras Square

At the forefront of Google’s requirements was a building that would allow for total flexibility. This meant that every element of the office should be able to move and flex with team requirements, including the meeting rooms. Cundall was central to the design of the flatpack modular meeting rooms that unlocked the space. Initially engaged to undertake technical due diligence in line with Google’s design guides, we were then appointed as the building services engineers.

We were selected for our ability to work closely with the client and bring innovative and engaging design features into the project. These included a town hall, multi-function kitchen and restaurant areas, gym, YouTube studios and edit suites and data rooms as well as customised breakout meeting areas and collaborative workspaces to allow for the tailored working styles of the various occupants.

Working closely with Google, the design team and contractor allowed the design to evolve throughout the programme of works, resulting in an environment which captured all sustainability goals and health and wellbeing drivers identified at the outset.
