decorated in white and light greys to create an exaggerated sense of space. In some cases, the gypsum ceiling panels have sections cut through them to reveal the concrete slab structure of the building. Concealed T5 fluorescent 28W/830 lamps provide indirect cove lighting both into the centre of the ceiling and around the edges of the suspended raft elements. In addition to this indirect light, surface mounted metal profiles with MR16 IRC 35W dichroic lamps with glass diffuser are placed under the rafts to ensure the required illuminance level. This operates as a dimmable system, allowing the rooms to be darkened for movie and presentation projections. Outside the meeting rooms is the largest of the reception spaces, dominated by a white glass reception desk. This is lit indirectly by a white linear aluminum pendant with 28W fluorescent T5 source, thus avoiding unwanted glare. A row of luminaires, fitted with MR16 IRC 35W dichroic lamps, recessed glass diffusers and an anti-glare control, are fitted into the ceiling behind the reception desk, illuminating the floor and adding sparkle to the satin steel logo mounted on the adjacent wall. The two seating clusters in the nearby waiting area are situated beneath circular coffers, lit by fluorescents T5 28W/830s to again reveal more of the concrete bones of the building.
As well as looking good, the design was focused on maintenance and energy efficiency. Only a handful of (reasonably efficient) lamp types were used: fluorescent T5 28W, compact fluorescent 26W/ 870, integrated fluorescent 23W and MR16 IRC 35W. The team considered replacing the MR16 for LED fixtures, but at the time the budget precluded this as an option, so Osram energy saver MR16s were chosen instead.
Most importantly, the redesign has produced a textured, welcoming workspace for Wunderman staff, alongside unexpected flashes of architectural daring with which to impress visiting clients.

Top left Suspended rafts, floated above the main work spaces, provide a canopy of indirect light, originating from linear pendants. These pendants also deliver direct, glare-free downlighting through a parabolic louver.
Above left Meeting rooms and services are contained within ‘prisms’ that mimic the building’s façade. The black glass surface reflects the adjacent white walls, providing adequate light levels for circulation.
Above Cove lighting in one meeting room illuminates the ceiling and white glass wall, used as a white board.
