AHMM to design Google's King's Cross headquarters
Internet giant Google has reportedly hired AHMM to design its new UK headquarters close to King’s Cross station in London
Google has signed a deal for the land - which is part of
developer Argent’s 27 hectare Kings Cross redevelopment project - last
week and has appointed AHMM to design its new 67,350m² base, reported the Evening Standard.The scheme will consist of five office buildings in the south-east corner of the masterplan, close to John McAslan + Partners new King’s Cross station ticket hall.

Google close to £550m King's Cross deal - Telegraph
Google is close to completing a deal worth more than £550m to build a new UK headquarters at King’s Cross.
The investment from the American technology giant will represent a major vote
of confidence in Britain and boost the Coalition’s attempts to grow the
country’s technology, media and telecommunications industries.
The Sunday Telegraph revealed last year that Google was in talks about opening
a 700,000 sq ft site at King’s Cross, north London, as its new UK base.
Google now plans to buy the site at the King’s Cross Central development
through a 999-year lease for more than £550m and is hoping to secure a deal
before the US Thanksgiving holiday on November 22, Property Week reports.
The deal will be one of the largest ever occupational and investment
agreements in the UK. The Google site at King’s Cross is known as Block A.
After acquiring the site, Google is likely to appoint property group Argent to
develop the offices and move in around 2015. At present, Google is based in
two London offices in Victoria and Soho, but wants to expand.
The King’s Cross development is one of the biggest regeneration projects in
London.
It includes 8m sq ft offices, shops, homes and a new base for Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, part of the University of the Arts London. BNP Paribas is already building a new UK base at the site, while J Sainsbury has also been linked with a deal.
King’s Cross is owned by Argent, fund manager Hermes, DHL, and London & Continental Railways, from whom Google will acquire the Block A site.
It also emerged that Google has agreed a settlement with the Association of American Publishers over its plans to make books available online. The agreement allows US publishers to choose whether to participate in Google’s project.
