The building set a new standard for office accommodation and has received several design awards including the Scottish Design Award for Commercial Interior and the British Council for Offices National and Regional Awards for Commercial Workplace. Each elevation of the building is fully glazed, with the 2nd and 3rd floors providing spectacular views across the Firth of Forth. A silver anodised “Brise-soleil” surrounds the building, delivering a striking external appearance, and combined with high performance glazing helps achieve an ideal balance between natural light penetration and solar protection. The building exploits the natural slope of the land it sits on, creating a concealed external car park, which together with a secure undercroft car park provides 198 spaces (1:475 sq ft) and provision for bicycle and motorcycle storage.
