Google may have started in garage, but it's offices are now some of the most interesting ones in tech.

The company is known for places offices in unexpected buildings, from an old airplane hangar in LA to a former vodka factory in Warsaw, Poland. Its Cambridge, Massachusetts office is in a more standard building, but the inside is unique to the location.

NELSON Worldwide design firm collaborated with Google employees to design a plan that includes some of Boston and Cambridge's most iconic locations, all tied together as stops on the subway that's shared by the two cities. These photos show how the designers integrated Google culture with Boston culture to form a one-of-a-kind office that won a 2015 iDesign Award.
