Located in the financial district of London, the business club's direction is to make radical reuse of spaces in the building that have been abandoned since the pandemic begun, and also look forward to the future building typology for London on post-pandemic time. The business club is a co-working system that consists of the meet, work, grow, and rest area which will inject into the Citypoint Tower building. The challenge of this injection is to change the normative two-dimension movement of collaboration and leisure area into a three-dimension movement. This re-arrange of typological function will make a new confrontation between the office and collaboration area which will be carefully moving upward to the top of the building to reach natural light and provide connection of spaces. By the end, the three-dimension collaboration space as a central space of the building will distribute its branches of circulation all over the building to improve the potential of the office area. Before it was injected, the office space is the central space in this building, but after the injection, the collaboration space will be a central space for each volume of function in the building.
