As well as sorting out our online world, Google has played a big part in changing the way we think about workspace – not least as an early adopter of the office slide. Now, with Project Jack, its unassuming modular meeting room concept, the tech giant is starting another stealth revolution in the office.
Even to the “civilian” outside the world of workplace, Google has long been a byword for the next big thing. Its latest development in interiors can be big or small, enclosed or open, and comes in a range of colour, texture and finish options that would make Henry Ford turn in his grave. It’s a deceptively simple modular meeting room concept called Project Jack and is one of the central components of Google’s King’s Cross headquarters at 6 Pancras Square in London – with the potential to make an impact not just on the tech giant’s locations around the world but also to have further-reaching implications for office design in other industries.
