As corporate culture evolves, theres an increasing incentive to bring people back to the office. For Google, where office perks include fitness centers and free food, the concept of play has long been a part of the on-site benefits. At a Google office in Venice, California, the fun radiates on the outside as well. Since 2011, Googlers have occupied the Binoculars Building by Frank Gehry. (For those looking to relax on the job, a 2020 blog post showcases some of the tech giants recreational provisions, including a tea lounge, a giant rooftop chess board, and a micro-kitchen inside of a freestanding wooden tunnel.)Now, another company has the opportunity to see the building through a new lens, as Googles cubicles and cafe could soon depart the space. According to an offering memo obtained by The Real Deal (TRD), Net Lease Office Propertiesa spin-off of real estate investment trust W.P. Careyhas hired CBRE to sell the building.Designed by Frank Gehry in collaboration with artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, the 1991 building was completed as the headquarters for the advertising agency Chiat/Day (now TBWA\Chiat\Day). The three-part complex began as two disparate facades, with copper-clad columns on one side and a curved white screen wall on the other. By happenstance the binoculars, the center component, became the necessary mediator for the two designs. The sculpture was originally conceived as part of an academic project for an island community in Venice, Italy. Oldenburg and van Bruggen created a small model of a theater and library that mimicked the form of a standing pair of binoculars, which found its way to Gehrys desk. As noted in the sculptors artist statement, during a meeting with founder Jay Chiat, Gehry placed the little model in the center of the facade to illustrate the binding concept; it then became the solution.Connected by a central conference room, the lenses of the binoculars house two tall curvilinear rooms with bulbous light fixtures and, fittingly, the eyepieces form skylights. Streetside, the exterior space between the lenses creates an archway, with both a pedestrian entrance and access to the underground parking garage directly behind the sculpture.According to TRD, Googles triple-net-lease at the building is up for renewal in October 2030. While at this time an asking price has not been disclosed, the 78,578-square-foot building situated off the Venice Beach Boardwalk is a fitting option for companies seeking character and looking to turn some eyes.
