Architects of The Turing Building

Located in the heart of Stratford Cross, The Turing Building puts your business at the epicentre of an exciting ecosystem comprising culture, education, innovation and sport.

Designed by the award-winning global architecture and interior design firm, AFK Studios, the building features 350,000 square feet of flexible and sustainable Grade A office space, an active lobby, an exclusive business lounge on Level 21, a rooftop terrace and a diverse mix of leisure experiences.

We sat down with Earle Arney, Founder & Chief Executive of AFK Studios, to discuss how the architects and designers created a place where people want to work, connect and play.

The Turing Building is an exciting vision for the future of working environments, with its flexible floorplates and structural 'soft spots' enabling interconnectivity between floors. Consented for dual education and office use, the building embodies 'loose-fit, long life' principles, allowing for adaptations throughout its lifetime. It's specifically designed to evolve with your organisation and the people who bring it to life, as Earle explains:

"It's a building that is really designed for the future, given how adaptable it is. Knowing that tenants need the flexibility – that is a functionality that we've imbued into the design, so it's a place of adaptability and flexibility. But, also, how it enables teams to rapidly be formed on floorplates and also be disbanded with ease."

But it's not only about adapting the office space to your requirements. It's also about ensuring your people feel good working in it. Understanding this, AFK Studios designed The Turing Building to strengthen productivity and boost wellbeing. "For any organisation, people matter. Knowing this, we've designed the floorplate accordingly."

Through exceptional workspace design, including natural light, better air quality, and outdoor areas to work, meet and collaborate, The Turing Building enhances the happiness and wellbeing of everyone inside. Earle explains how AFK Studios made this possible:

"As both interior designers and architects, we have designed this from the inside out, as much as outside in. This is a vertical landscape as much as it is a building, with shelves of biodiversity and terraces. It's all electric and 100% fresh air, with great operational energy and really low embodied carbon figures."

With a +30% reduction in embodied carbon, 90m2 of on-site solar panels and a 57% reduction in water demand, The Turing Building can help your business meet its net-zero carbon goals. It's received the following sustainability credentials:

• BREEAM Outstanding

The diverse leisure offering on-site includes an Everyman cinema, Signorelli Coffee House and Templar restaurant, making The Turing Building a vibrant destination beyond the 9 to 5, as reiterated by Earle:

"It is a building that is of restaurants, of cinemas, of bars, and one that really has a vibrancy that starts early in the morning and extends into that wonderful nighttime economy that is Stratford Cross."
