AECOM

Bringing more than 1,000 people into one workplace required a varied mix of settings rather than a single repeated floor plan. Levels 7 to 10 combine work areas, smaller meeting rooms and community spaces arranged around a central open staircase, while Level 16 is primarily dedicated to reception and client-facing meeting facilities. Together, the five floors create a workplace capable of supporting everyday team interaction alongside more private and formal uses.

On Level 16, Shoreditch Edition Optima 117 Plus screens and matching single-glazed doors were used to define the principal client meeting rooms. The applied aluminium framework gives these spaces a stronger visual identity, distinguishing the client suite from the standard meeting-room fronts used elsewhere in the building. The same system was also introduced within community areas on Level 10, carrying the detail into one of the key shared spaces around the staircase.

Across Levels 7 to 10, Optima 117 Plus single-glazed partitioning and Edge Symmetry doors form the smaller meeting rooms positioned around the building core. AECOM specified 12.8mm acoustic laminated glass for the meeting-room fronts, with room-booking panels integrated alongside the doors. Used across a workplace of this scale, the glazing provides a consistent architectural language while allowing the specification to respond to the different levels of privacy, visibility and use required from floor to floor.
