Google Inc.'s new space in Playa Vista, California is a mix of old meets new, featuring exposed wooden beams and open workspaces spread over 450,000 square feet in the historic Spruce Goose hangar.
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG, GOOGL) tapped Portland, Oregon-based ZGF Architects to transform the hangar, constructed in 1943 by businessman and aviator Howard Hughes to house the world's largest wooden airplane, into a four-story, contemporary office structure.
