These cleverly designed open and collaborative global headquarters consisted of works over 50,000 sq.ft including café bars, reception area, tea points, print points, concierge bars, media walls, work walls, desks, coats cupboards, terrace café, planters and wall panelling. Two of the key features on this project were the extensive use of concrete panels throughout the floors and a large south-facing outdoor terrace overlooking the Olympic Stadium and park. The design broke down the typical barriers associated with normal office space, creating open areas for a range of exhibitions and permanent art installations.
