Central Atrium and open plan spaces:
The atrium spaces are some of the more attractive and open spaces in the building and are therefore the focus of the social spaces and public spaces on the ground floor. The atriums will provide a good level of light and comfortable temperatures for socialising and resting.

Ground floor and cafe space.
The ground floor is one of the more adaptable spaces and is open to the public for the cafe and social spaces. The imagery demonstrates that even at this level the lighting conditions are good with light from the atrium’s still penetrating the centre of the building right down to the ground floor.
