Google is known for having whimsical, fun and comfortable offices, but this is the first time that I’ve seen an aquarium in one. To be fair it is aquarium-s, plural. Here are some shots from inside of a nap room quiet room at one of Google’s infamous offices.
The installation is very well done. The charcoal panels framing the in-wall displays are beautiful and although not my style, the carpet mimicking glitter lines on the ocean’s sand floor is a nice subtle touch. (Google, where’s the saltwater?)
What really makes the room come to life is the focused track lighting through out. As we saw in this Japanese aquarium build, the light around the tank can be just as important as the light going into the tank. Between the focused lighting and charcoal panels this art-museum-look gives the aquatic animals a rightful display.
With the current economic conditions it may not be the best time to make that reef aquarium quiet room proposal to your company… your mileage may vary.
As the viewer above reminds us, don’t forget to relax and enjoy your aquarium.
