The first images of Google's new London headquarters have emerged. The company recently spent $1 billion on a plot of land for the development, and has enlisted architecture firm Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) to design its new London home. The proposed headquarters, which are expected to be valued at over $1.6 billion when completed, would stretch 330 meters (the length of three and a half football fields) and rise to eleven storys in height. Like most modern developments, it's designed to be environmentally friendly — the architects are aiming to achieve an "outstanding" certification from BREEAM — and will be constructed with steel framing and cross-laminated timber panels, an unusual technique for a building of this size.
