Large enough to be used as open dealer floors, each level can also be split easily along both axes to accommodate four separate companies. Occupiers enjoy two open ‘lungs’ of space: a double storey entrance hall and, on the fifth floor, an open terrace and winter garden.
A fully glazed double height entrance is directly linked to Buckingham Palace Road by a Martin McGinn artwork that extends through the glazing on to the street. A large rooftop pavilion above the entrance visually reduces the apparent length of the 110m façade, reinforced by walls that extend deep into the plan, suggesting three separate buildings rather than one.
