New office interior opens

Office design news from Morgan Lovell

A £100 million new mixed-use arts venue and office interior space has today opened in the King's Cross area of London.

According to Architects' Journal, the new development features a total of seven floors of office space, as well at two art galleries and concert venues. There are also restaurants and cafes in the building.

Cladding for the two auditoria came from a single tree, the news provider reports.

Jeremy Dixon of Dixon Jones Architects told the journal: "It's remarkable to think that a single tree surrounds us. The tree's name was Contessa and it was harvested according to the moon."

Those considering office relocation to such a site should bear in mind that this development is already fully let, with office space being taken up by Network Rail and the Guardian.

Moving office can be one way to help tackle issues such as sustainability in the workplace, although a new office fit out could also be one way to approach such concerns.
