An elongated, chapel-like room under a series of exposed timber arches, finished in warm wood panelling and carpet. The space is lit through a large arched window and evenly spaced pendant lights, creating a calm, focused working environment.

Room features: Two large display screens, an integrated PA system and conference-call facilities are installed. A mobile flipchart provides analogue facilitation.

What sets it apart: Floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves run along both side walls, giving the room a distinct library character.
