A large aquarium sits in the entrance hall and catches the attention of visitors as they step inside, giving the space a memorable character. On the upper floors, restaurants combine dishes from several countries, offering an international menu.
Two glass elevators take visitors to SUSHISAMBA restaurant on the 38th floor, and during the ride upward there is a view across the city. Access to the building is through the main entrance on Bishopsgate, where the reception is also located.
The office spaces are arranged in villages grouped around atriums with triple-height ceilings, and this structure allows daylight to reach deep inside. This layout creates open zones where employees from different floors can meet one another.
