About
The ICE project, located on the development’s central spine, is one of a number of staged redesigns within the Exchange Quays development, all aimed at helping to create a more coherent family of buildings, with shared external spaces as well as newly-refurbished interiors.
The 26,000 sq ft, six-storey building offers good sized floor plates and excellent daylight ingress, served by a central circulation core and the new space plan and design had to speak a broad but understated design language to appeal to a multiplicity of tenant profiles.
The design embraces the industrial origins of the site with exposed concrete features, softened with a pastel colour palette and bespoke timber wall panelling and fixed joinery work to create a composite whole that is relevant to its context and appealing to the building's community.
