These don’t match up, Marks says, commenting that this is why she went to work at.

Being in the game of designing offices for startups,.knew exactly what she wanted from her own space and it wasn’t a homogeneous desk rental.

Previously she had been working out of a converted whisky distillery in the US city of Boston, so she wanted something that would stand out from the crowd.On arriving in London, she looked at a lot of other potential office suitors and found they were mostly ‘a bit shabby.’ However, as soon as she saw the GWS space she was blown away by the quality of the build and its finish.. She particularly liked how all of the studios were completely customisable, so she was able to bring her own vision into how her space would look, but ‘as soon as you step outside, you get to be part of someone else’s bigger vision,’ she says, gesturing up to the large atrium and studios above.‘That is so cool.’ She was also attracted to being part of a wider community of artists and designers.

‘It’s so motivating to look out and see people grinding away - everyone here works so hard.’ She’s right.As you walk around the central space there are models clad in towelling robes waiting to shoot Orlebar Brown’s latest swimwear campaign.

Then there are the chalked-up notice boards advertising jewellery designer, Daisy’s latest sample sale.

It’s a hive of creative activity.Intelligent air handling.

Air handling systems were designed to use as little energy as possible, whilst ensuring a healthy, fresh indoor environment.So demand control ventilation, activated by CO. 2. sensors, provides an optimal level of fresh air in fitness areas.

And in the same way, an advanced, mixed mode system with Building Management System control, ventilates the sports halls.By using low energy passive ventilation for periods of lower use, but powerful mechanical ventilation at peak times, it minimises energy consumption whilst maximising the comfort of users.
