这是由SWA设计的美国加州谷歌总部，获得了ASLA百年勋章，成为上个世纪最重要的景观之一。前SGI园区（现在的谷歌公司）和相邻的Charleston公园，打破传功的公共和私人空间的限定，采用了挑战传统的设计方案。该场地始自山景城举办的26英亩棕地竞标——建立R&D园区和一座5英亩的公园。该项目设计创建了一个标志性的身份，并提供了急需的公民空间，而模糊的私人和公共领域之间的区别。
SWA与建筑师、开发商和城市总体规划密切合作，公众的反馈新奇，对设计规划起到至关重要的作用。这一创造性的合作，产生了两个重要的规划决策：第一，统一校园和公园的风景，无缝连接;和第二，由于大型建筑的足迹，为了保护和欣赏现有景观，提高建筑物和1,700个停车位，覆盖在景观空间上。由东至西，景观从公司园区向公园倾斜而下，形成无缝的连接。
在建筑和景观的设计上，以反映SGI和非官方的企业理念“认真玩乐”， 确保乐趣和工作室空间的共存。在公园和广场上，经常举办音乐会和集会。广场上一系列露台和浅水池斜坡上描绘着大胆的条纹图案。成排的樱花树和马尾树增强了图形的清晰度。流水刻画出公园和校园之间的边界。在斜坡顶部的小树林中，刻着不易察觉的文字，标志着公共和私人之间的土地的分界。
蜿蜒的黄砖路将三园联系在一起。东花园的圆形土墩形状呼应Calaveros山看到的景色。中央花园是整个SGI社区可以聚集的地方。由于这种空间结构不能支持树的重量，伞成为垂直遮阳的元素。西园致力于娱乐，为一个排球场和一个小榆树林。北面，办公楼被包含在一个小巧优雅的长方形花园中。
该场地于2004年由谷歌购买为公司总部。

As a winner of the ASLA’s Centennial Medallion, this project is recognized as one of the most significant landscapes of the last century. The design of the former SGI campus (now Google) and the adjacent Charleston Park challenges conventional thinking about public and private space. The project began as the winning entry in a competition held by the City of Mountain View to develop the 26-acre brownfield site with an R&D campus and a five-acre public park. The design creates a strong identity for the campus and provides a much-needed civic space, while blurring distinctions between the private and public realms.
SWA collaborated closely with the architects, developer and city from master planning through implementation, and played an essential role in securing public approvals. This creative collaboration led to two key planning decisions: first, to treat the campus and park as one landscape; and second, because of the large building footprints, to assert the presence of the landscape by raising the buildings and locating most of the 1,700 parking spaces below podium level. At the east and west ends of the project, the landscape slopes up to the podium from natural grade, providing a seamless connection from the park on the east through the campus to the improved creek corridor on the west.
The landscape, like the architecture, was designed to reflect the purpose of SGI and its unofficial corporate philosophy of "serious fun." The coexistence of pleasure and work is ensured by the character of outdoor spaces and further expressed by the two formal systems that shape circulation through the site. Sweeping curves suggest leisure. Straight lines, derived from the building column grid, express efficiency.
At the lower level of the park, a brick plaza provides for frequent concerts and civic gatherings. The plaza’s bold striped pattern continues up the slope through a series of terraces and shallow pools. Rows of cherry trees and horsetail reinforce the graphic clarity of the composition. The presence of water suggests the fluid boundary between the park and campus. A grove of Grecian laurels at the top of the slope marks the literal, although imperceptible, line between public and private land.
A sinuous yellow brick path ties the campus’ three gardens together. The contemplative East Garden’s circular mounds echo the Calaveros Hills seen in the distance beyond. The Central Garden is a place where the entire SGI community can gather. Since this space cannot structurally support the weight of trees, umbrellas become the vertical shade-giving elements. The West Garden is devoted to recreation, and a volleyball court within a grove of elms is in constant use. Just to the north, a bocce court is contained within a small, elegant, rectangular garden. Within each of the major gardens, at the building stair towers, the ground is cut away to create openings which naturally ventilate the garage without the need for mechanical equipment.
The site was bought by Google in 2004 to be their Corporate Headquarters.
