Google Berlin

Timothy Soar

A new Google office and YouTube Studio space in a listed 1880 hospital building located on the River Spree in central Berlin.

Google Berlin builds on Allford Hall Monaghan Morris’ previous work with Google in London, and is the practice’s first overseas project to be completed for the company.

The listed 1880s former hospital has been transformed through a series of interventions to improve flow and activate the spaces around them. Recent finishes are stripped back to show original features and materials, celebrating the building’s history, revealing its unique character, and creating a canvas for new insertions. Also located within Google’s new headquarters is YouTube Berlin, a cutting edge recording studio.
