Through the planning of the lease, meeting rooms were strategically placed to improve the flow of the building and create more attractive areas for common and support facilities. The positioning of the meeting rooms broke the monotony of the open-plan spaces and created a series of pockets for workspaces. To visualise their presence in the shared office building, a narrative was developed in collaboration with DEAS and embedded in the physical environment.
