Design Award
The Unfolding House
Design Award
The Jury commends the design team for the execution of GSK’s building interior design. The voluminous atrium with receding floor plates enables an open interior which connects the inside and outside, and encourages interaction between people. The overcoming of inherent acoustic challenges around the atrium is particularly impressive. The ability to further differentiate hierarchies of spaces results in a remarkable work environment for its users. The holistic approach to design sees a high level of sophistication for a project of this scale.
