Much has been written about the brand new Google-backed start-up ‘campus’ in London’s Tech City over the past two weeks – not least the fact that raw chipboard walls are among its design themes.
The undeniably stylish and cutting-edge office complex combines chipboard walls with industrial lighting and bright colours to create a unique working space. Its café and communal seating areas encourage people to share ideas and get their creative juices flowing.
The start-up campus contributes to the government’s plan to introduce a new hi-tech centre in East London. So far, Tech City has attracted many of the biggest names in international business and it is hoped that the campus will become a focus innovation and may even be the location in which the next Facebook or Google is created.
The decision to leave the chipboard on sections of the walls bare reflects the industrial design of the complex, and creates a feeling of the building being in transition.
The campus’s creation is not for the benefit of Google, but is, instead for the benefit of the community and those looking to start up a new business, explained the campus’s head, Eze Vidra.
