A creative approach sees the floors stripped back to maximise ceiling height and accentuate the buildings primary structure. The plaster on the existing columns has been removed to reveal the concrete encased steel, serving as a complimentary material to the new pallet that includes oak, black metal, white ceramic tiles and exposed plywood joinery. A second double height open plan space is located on the seventh floor of the building, offering views across north east Holborn.
