After a setback last month, Google is moving forward with partial plans for an office expansion in Mountain View, California, designed by BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group and Heatherwick Studio.
The new headquarters, as proposed in February, would consist of a series of canopy-like buildings on 60 acres adjacent to its existing campus near San Francisco Bay. But a decision last month from Mountain View's city council awarded LinkedIn about two-thirds of the available commercial square footage for the area, leaving only enough area for Google to realize one building. So that is what Google is going to do, but on a site that the tech company has leased from the city for years.
On 29 May, Google submitted plans for a 595,000-square-feet building on 18.6 acres it controls next to Charleston Park, according to Silicon Valley Business Journal. Further, Charleston East, as it's being called, "would share the same glass-roofed style as Google's other proposed buildings, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and Heatherwick Studio."
