Concept The Discovery building was conceived from the inside out by architects Boogertman + Partners. At the core of its design concept is the creation of a rich internal environment within and around which the Discovery community can thrive. At all times the architectural design considerations are centred around the human experience of the space. This concept resolved itself into two large, sun filled internal atria around which the open floor plates were arranged. The atria are enclosed by 2,800m 2 of glazed roof, with all pause areas and agile spaces opening into them. Connecting these atria to one another is a central concourse, within which a stack of escalators links double volume bridges that stitch the floorplates together. The concourse space was conceived as a‘ grand central station’, a literal and figurative interchange between the company and its clients. The roof of the building is a landscaped retreat, accessible to all employees,
