extension of the now 17-storey tower tidies up the existing rooftop plant, reinstating the original design intent for a clean set-back top floor, whilst creating a 3,600 sq ft roof terrace. The new eighth floor of the block provides meeting rooms and a Club House comprised of a bar and 5,000 sq ft terrace accessible to all tenants.
Upon entering the tower, occupants are welcomed by a spacious double-height lobby and reception. The 10,000 sq ft circular, column-free floorplates are flooded with natural light, with the top ten floors offering unobstructed 360-degree views of the city. In the block, an intimate lobby leads to eight levels of 8,000 sq ft workspace floors. The sky bridge creates contiguous workspace on the first and second floors, and a garden terrace on the third.
The egalitarian workspaces feature long sightlines, offering high levels of visual connectivity to support collaborative working. Designed in a loft style, offices feature polished concrete floors, whilst new terrazzo flooring has been installed throughout the common areas, with original mosaic tiling in the stair cores retained.
