The shared, multi-use space is a key feature of the design on the 25^th floor. Designed to accommodate a variety of functions, it facilitates creativity and collaboration. The flexible, easy-to-move furnishings such as benches and stackable stools, enable the space to be arranged in a variety of different configurations for uses such as individual or group work, presentations, informal meetings or relaxation. Day to day, the space acts as the social hub of the office, where employees gather for lunch, share ideas over a coffee or take time for private reflection. The drop-down projection screen acts as a partition between the kitchen and the social space, allowing an easy transition to a conference or presentation style format.

Reflecting our commitment to sustainable and long-term solutions, the design of the 25^th floor focuses on elements that can be easily dismantled. Timber rib ceiling rafts that can be installed and removed as panel sections, act as expressive visual and rhythmic accents to the space, whilst also accommodating lighting, electrical and mechanical interfaces. Demountable glazed partitions provide excellent flexibility and acoustic performance throughout the space.

In addition, framing elements, fasteners and joinery support systems are all designed to be dismantled and transferred to new interior layouts. Even the metal-faced wall panels that clad the meeting rooms, corridors and reception spaces were designed with demountability in mind. Supported off bracketry and carrier rail systems, the panels can be easily removed and refixed for use on a future project.
