Emphasizing interaction, this multi-use complex creates a large variety of public spaces to cater to the increasing need for people to come together to exchange ideas and information. The building houses the offices, warehousing, research and development, assembly and testing, and the training and showroom facilities of the Invensys group; as well as the companies under them and their associated activities—all under one roof. An L-shaped form of blue glass greets the visitor in the 3-storey high atrium lobby and this corporate colour and theme is extended throughout the building. On the 5th storey, a large cafeteria and lounge forms the focus around which the multimedia showroom, training and meeting rooms are located. The cafe fronts an outdoor terrace with a fabric canopy and a reflecting pool made of blue tiles. In the general office areas, storage walls are used to demarcate the large open-plan offices into smaller intimate areas.
