Points of note

As with all buildings designed by The Richard Rogers Partnership, creating an efficient and functional cellular working environment from one which had been created with open plan aesthetics in mind – provided a particular challenge for our designers.

Client comment

"The building presented some unusual challenges for the Maris designers, but they were all swept aside by the team's ingenuity, 'unflappability' and tireless professionalism."
