The new building, a glassy, corporate curve meshed into the heavy masonry of George Val Myer’s purpose-built art deco barge, expresses the BBC’s future identity as a more coherent, fluid and ultimately more transparent organisation. The radio station’s offices, on the top floor of New Broadcasting House, contain six state-of-the-art recording studios, two green rooms and the ‘Live Lounge’ for live acoustic recording sessions. HOK has designed all the interiors within phase two of the massive, decade-long £1 billion Broadcasting House development which is now home to 6,000 staff from the three 24 hour news channels, nine radio networks and 26 foreign language services. The 45,000m² fit-out contains ‘flexible workstation clusters’ with extra data and power outlets accommodate changing team sizes, along with 57 meeting rooms and 72 touchdown areas. One-on-one spaces are arranged around the perimeter of the two large central atria, with a series of back-to-back booths, or ‘railway carriage
