One Angel Square, Northampton

The entrance faces a newly created public square, and leads into a four storey atrium reception and street. The building is designed as two forms which enclose a central courtyard, with office space, informal meeting areas and touchdown areas grouped around it. An abundance of natural light and good visual connectivity between the floors and quadrangle create a building that will allow both staff and visitors to experience a sense of wellbeing and help collaboration and sense of identity. The predominantly glazed facades are clad with vertical copper fins, inspired by the traditional leather cutting lines for hand-made shoes, which control solar gain and create a colour and texture, particularly when viewed from acute angles down the streets and lanes around the site.
