Google Spruce Goose
The office, called Google Spruce Goose, is located in Playa Vista – a neighborhood near LAX airport. The project entailed the overhaul of a large timber-framed hangar that was constructed in 1943 by Howard Hughes, the famed businessman, film producer and pilot. Measuring 750 feet (229 meters) in length, the facility was built for the construction of the H-4 Hercules airplane, nicknamed the Spruce Goose due to its massive size and wooden structure.
