Designed by New York-based COOKFOX Architects in collaboration with San Francisco’s Gensler, Google’s newest New York headquarters is a revamp of the 1930s rail terminal, St John’s Terminal, in Hudson Square, Manhattan.
An adaptive effort that is projected to save 78,400 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to removing 17,000 cars from the road for a year; it redefines “green space” for the city’s commercial real estate, through its incorporation of 1.5 acres of vegetation, mostly native to New York State, benefiting local ecology and attracting over 40 bird species.
