"Bad buildings weigh down occupiers: good ones raise the spirit.
The sense of vibrancy before you even enter Blue Fin shows into which category it falls."

The Blue Fin Building works not just as a sustainable icon, it buzzes like a hive. IPC Media needed to accommodate a huge variety of moods from magazines covering anything from motorbikes to Mozart. Land Securities provided a base build which could handle kitchens, quiet areas for classical music, a radio station and even low iron glazing so wine tasters can judge subtle colours.

This is a huge building but does not appear so because of good landscaping, ground-floor retail and a high level step-back. The floor plates lend themselves to open plan and breakout areas where magazines are put together. People were put at the head of agenda, with a resaurant installed at the top of the atrium and a roof garden for relaxation.

A tour of the Blue Fin Building will take place directly after the BCO AGM. Tours will be led by tp bennett and Trench Farrow who were responsible for the fit-out and project management of this project (respectively).
