Inspired by the original space where Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company, the Google Amsterdam office has a grungy, garage-like feel. While this may sound strange, it makes perfect sense considering the two men began plugging away at what is now a massive company in the comfort of a garage.
"Colorful," is the main word I would use to describe this interior. Not one room is dull, as neutral colors are used sparingly. A yellow, cushioned wall runs alongside a brick exterior, and there's even a small trailer parked in the middle of the floor with a bright green chair on the outside. The Google Amsterdam office is anything but boring and bland.
