It’s Like a Miniature City With a Neighborhood

The photos of Bay View’s cheerful second-floor interior from above remind me of a miniature city made of Legos. In fact, Google refers to this workplace as having individual team “neighborhoods” connected by courtyards. The second floor is designed for teamwork requiring deep concentration and offers physical and hybrid workspaces.

Meanwhile, Bay View’s first floor is made up of gathering spaces. It has meeting rooms and cafes that allow Googlers to “connect with their community and collaborate,” company officials explained.
