Applied were appointed to design and implement the campus wayfinding system for the Google Bay View campus, which is anchored by three themes: to represent innovation, nature and the community. As part of the process of creating this system, we collaborated with SPMDesign, Lux Art and JAK W, as well as local artists through Google’s own Artist in Residence programme. We also worked alongside project architects Heatherwick Studio and @BIG_Architects.

Applied are delighted that Google Bay View has won the 2023 Interior Design Magazine Best of the Year Award for Large Tech Office.
