Too much fun ?

You have to look hard in architect Penson's designs for Google in London for what you might call "ordinary" office space.  They've taken 160,000 sq foot (traditionally enough space for around 200 employees) atop one of Renzo Piano's multicoloured building blocks at Central St Giles, and turned it into a sitcom set for an internet giant. They claim there are 1250 "seats and desks".

Penson is Lee Penson, and the 39-year-old self-professed wunderkind has few pretensions. His website celebrates with equal fervour jobs for a Premier Inn, a Ramada Encore in Leicester, the fact that OK magazine have done a shoot in boutique hotel Stoke Place, and that Lee likes parties and sailing. 

Here's a few Google shots - there's plenty more here in Dezeen.
