Virtual Reality Centre, UCL

Buschow Henley's design transforms this north-facing basement space into a flexible research environment for those involved in both academic and commercial projects.

This project provides a reception, office accommodation, and meeting space, for UCL's Virtual Reality Centre. The spaces are organised with glazed screens, sliding doors and bespoke furniture able to be configured for individual working as well as corporate presentations. Owing to its semi-basement location and north-facing windows the reflectance of the ceiling grid has been increased to improve the overall quality of light. By inlaying a translucent ceiling which is then illuminated with coloured light the brooding volume of equipment used to condition the space is revealed.
