The staggeringly sleek McLaren Technology Centre is an office and factory in Surrey (UK) for the Formula 1 racing-car company. An artificial lake helps to cool the building and its beating heart – a 475-foot-long wind tunnel used to test Formula One cars.
This is a very large building, something like 100m by 200m, and its 11m high, says David Nelson, partner at Foster & Partners. That means it is low and flat. In plan it is circular, to incorporate the formal part of the lake which is set within a full circle.
The main body of the building is broken into 18-metre wide fingers, with six-metre wide strips between them, which we call the β€œstreets”. These allow daylight into the interior of the building and give everyone working inside an awareness of the outside. They also form part of the ventilation system of the building.
