The terraces were carefully designed with nature and the wellbeing of the staff at the centre. Designed with large break out areas for staff to work and enjoy the views of the city’s skyline, whilst also enjoying the benefits of their natural surroundings.
The planters were fitted with lighting to add ambience in the summer evenings and were sprayed in RAL 7048 a metallic finish to compliment the building. The Landscape Architect designed the benches having been inspired by stacks of wood in a timber yard. These benches also had sockets fitted for charging laptops and phones and were clad in iroko.
The project took several months to complete and in November 2018 opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth II. Having completed a tour of the new offices the Queen told traders she was impressed with the views from the 10th floor and joked that they would distract the staff.
