“Inspired by Gothic rose windows and flower patterns the façade of the building uses a non-periodic tiling system in which seven types of windows have been created from three different tiles. The building is structured around a system of two interconnected atria with each piercing through three levels of program. The atria are attached to the external façade where they are used as ventilation devices as well as to connect the core of the spaces inside the building with its urban surroundings. To achieve good environmental performance, low maintenance and high flexibility the massing is kept as compact as possible. The deep building is able to provide space for the various activities that take place within. The building has received a rating of BREEAM excellent.” (Ravensbourne College, AJ Buildings Library)
