The building’s architectural philosophy and design reflect the company’s Scandinavian heritage which is characterised through its functionality, simplicity, and clean lines. Comprising of 7 floors, with space for over 800 cars this building was always set to transform Coventry’s City Centre and it was our honour to be a part of it.
