The new Arts Council England office in central London will provide a base for more than 250 people. It will also provide a hub and a resource for the nine regional offices.

Caruso St John Architects have been commissioned to design the new office and have produced this site as an integral part of the project.

This site aims to explore how an organisation like Arts Council England can work together in one place as a coherent but diverse whole in an environment that supports and represents the work of the Arts Council.

Conceived as collection of facts and ideas, the site is intended to provide a brief history of the office as a specialised building type and to be a kind of manual that provides a vocabulary of words and concepts from which the Arts Council England office project can emerge. Above all it aims to de-mystify the parameters of office design and begin to engage future users and other collaborators in the development process of this exciting project.

As the project progresses, updates on will be posted on this site.
