Practise what you preach
Article Abstract:
HOK International Limited were the architects for the renovation work on their own office building in Oxford Circus, London, England. The renovation work on the 1912 building included work on original murals painted on the vaulted ceilings. HOK wanted the building to represent their style of work therefore the design had to incorporate different ceiling heights yet give the feel of open space. The office building was once used as a recording studio in the 1960s, having originally been built as a department store.
