Originally designed by Ralph Erskine and Lennart Bergstrom, the duo created a visionary building with striking and memorable features, such as the sky top Crow’s Nest meeting room with 360 views over the West End and River Thames and a one-of-a-kind internal timber-cladded atrium following the buildings distinctive curvature. They both believed that architectural qualities such as these would encourage the occupants to engage more socially and therefore provide a platform for a happier and more creative workplace.
this extraordinary space of epic proportions will be transformed to create a sensational new environment, for creativity and culture.
ARK is defined by its characterful curvature and this has been further enhanced in the refurbishment of the building — the entrance will be completely rejuvenated with public realm improvements, impressive landscaping and underground parking for cycles and cars.
An impressive entrance that will leave a lasting impression — the 7,914 sq ft open plan reception, social area and cafe has been carefully redesigned to focus around the remarkable atriums that flood the area with natural light.
Just off the reception is a large social lounge and café space perfect for a breakaway co-working environment, and ideal meeting location. Not only this, the space will have the flexibility to host memorable events and parties with an equipped bar, barista area and partition curtains.
Wellbeing for employees has been considered at every level, and on the ground floor you will find a fully equipped communal gym and work out studio.
ARK boasts expansive and characterful terraces to the five upper floors, wrapping around the building and totalling 8,300 sq ft — that’s equivalent to four tennis courts!
A totally unique meeting experience! This 394 sq ft communal meeting room on the 12th floor served by a private lift is the perfect place to wow any client, it boasts 360 panoramic views over the City and Hammersmith and is equipped with communal conference facilities.
