Bringing to life an octagonal space Unking old and new

摘要

The existing collection of buildings on the Newbury (Berkshire) site of The Lawn, now the high-tech headquarters of Micro Focus, grew up around a Georgian house which was converted into an office in the 1940s. At the heart of the complex is 'the loop', a 1970s octagonal-shaped building connected to the Georgian house by a two-storey rectangular wing containing additional open-plan office accommodation.
