Google Cambridge

Designed as a landmark building for Cambridge’s Kendall-Square, Google’s new headquarters promotes collaboration across two existing buildings to create an urban campus and connection to the community. 

Shaped as a shifting a parallelogram, the building opens to connect Kendall Square with an elevated public roof garden. Articulating its massing, a series of inset “apertures” naturally illuminate interior gathering spaces and create year-round outdoor terraces. At the building’s main entry, a warm wood atrium celebrates the connection between 325 and 355 Main Street while creating a retail filled through-block connection for the community.
