Bowling alleys are great because they are column free, and after removing the suspended ceiling we revealed a double height space. This also revealed 2m deep down-stand beams which we re-clad integrating lighting and air-conditioning. The over riding rhythm of the beams naturally lead us to arrange the desks in ʻbowling lanesʼ with circulation between them. The disruption court runs through the middle of the space like a central park and a series of shelters for meeting rooms, project rooms and director's offices generate a small townscape in the space, where the raised areas on top of the shelters make for pleasant breakout spaces.
