What does it feel like to run on top of London? 🏃‍♂️   Last week, the @bco_nextgen team found out!   🏃‍♀️ Rooftop running, skyline views, and a rooftop bar to finish - all at White Collar Factory, home to our AKT II London studio and a building we proudly engineered with @ahmmarchitects for @derwentlondon .   Winner of the @bco_uk Test of Time Award (2023), the White Collar Factory is still inspiring nearly a decade on, not just through its design, but by bringing people together in new ways to work, connect, and support wellbeing.   Big thanks to Beth Wootton, Thomas Wright, and Matthew Duckett for making it happen 🙌   #AKTII #BCONextGen #WhiteCollarFactory #DerwentLondon #RunningWithAView
