Working with the striking architectural trusses and dynamic floor plates of the building , which was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates ( KPF ), Studio Ashby has applied an eclectic zoning approach to the layout of the areas , fully embracing the panoramic views of the city whilst setting up a combination of both private and more public amenity spaces . A light oak timber basket weave parquet runs throughout the amenities creating a welcoming and interesting collection of fluid areas , each with their own personality but cohesive from space to space .
Located within the residents ’ lounge , a pocket of privacy has been created for the workhub , offering a quieter spot to focus , with dedicated individual desks , as well as larger spaces for communal work . Surrounded by a catalogue of books with dedicated wall lighting , Studio Ashby has provided the comfort and luxury of ‘ a home away from home .’ Responding to the rich creative tapestry around One Crown Place has informed the lovingly curated selection of artwork from local galleries and artists , creating an aesthetic that appears to have been established overtime . The residents ’ lounge sees feature panelling stretching along a full perimeter wall that celebrates abstract expressions of the iconic buildings surrounding the site .
