This Spread: Century City Hotel The architecture of the Matrix speaks of an industrial warehouse era and aesthetic. Strong robust face brick facades with floor to floor window treatment and natural materials interfaces with the needs of an efficient practical and sophisticated office space. The Matrix offers something different – different in its architectural aesthetic, different in its ability to provide flexible space and different in its interior look and feel. The interior concept is unique as a Century City offering in that users will be encouraged to 62 follow the theme adopted for the public areas of the Matrix building. It is the intention, wherever possible, to limit the use traditional office ceilings, thereby exposing the services and the off shutter concrete soffits. All the windows and doors are tall elegantly framed aluminium sections that enhance the feeling of office height and volume to maximise on the great views and natural daylight. Internal elements of white pointed red face brick are offset against white plastered walls and natural reclaimed looking timber cladding to ensure a warm natural eclectic feel. Century City Square
