+Comfort

Designed for focus
and wellbeing.

The wellbeing agenda drives every design decision at Maple House, creating a work environment that enables physical activity,
promotes social interaction, and enhances daily wellbeing.

The site’s one-acre urban forest brings nature to the urban core of London,
improving air quality, regulating temperature, and encouraging relaxation.
