Located in the new Mountain View headquarters, the Google Store is designed to activate curiosity and educate the public about the company’s hardware offerings and design process. A sinuous, spine-like sculptural installation winds through the space, providing a 120-foot-long continuous interactive display. The design is inspired by the contrasting forms of the surrounding context—the fluidity of San Francisco Bay’s Northerly estuaries and the man-made grids of the urban fabric. With a focus on human physiology and interaction, the spine engages the user at multiple heights and scales to promote discovery with drawers to open, informative visual graphics, and 3D interactive displays.
