The 145,000 SF Phase 1 data centre comprises a 3-storey structure housing up to 1,000 racks. With construction already well underway, Scott Brownrigg and One Space Ltd were appointed as architectural & interior design consultants, to make strategic interventions to the facades, arrival/security buildings and interior spaces, with the goal of creating a highly marketable, on-brand asset that reflects the state-of-the-art market positioning of this pioneering facility.

The customer journey – from arrival to data halls – was considered comprehensively, carefully orchestrating access through each level of security controls as part of that experience. Importantly, since the facility would need ultimately to be branded to the tenant’s identity, the interior spaces communicate a secured, state-of-the-art, technology-intensive and reliable host whose ‘brand’ would sit behind, rather than in front of, the tenant’s.
