before the olympic. there's a very for a famous local landmark on the canal which was nicknamed fridge mountain. just a few years it was your largest white goods dumping ground effect the giant pile the fridge is freezers and so on and so we love the idea of creating a unit which was it was a tribute to that last monument. lieutenant's of the twenty one work spaces are as varied as the studios for sale. makes includes a record label to music studios architects engineers and also designers. really didio rents a desk rather than a whole studio. from here she manages the stain of all night when. she designs her collections in london and has the pieces made in italy. is very different from the other working spaces are being most of the work spaces of being the really big quite noisy quite loud and here feels like a family. so you go when it's calm and very colorful is in the middle of the paul there are lots of nice events as well. these are thanks to house manager patrick scully his employer the trumpery wa

. —— the olympic games.ll sorts of things that give us a slight advantage, i agree, of things that give us a slight advantage, iagree, that of things that give us a slight advantage, i agree, that you may have slightly bigger feet than the person you stand next to, but that person you stand next to, but that person might had a does not have a better recovery rate. so we're trying not to give massive advantages away. if you look at an olympic final, by the way, the majority of people doing the 100 metres track, they were finished within less than 1% of each other. that's eight people. if you went to the next 2a, they wouldn't be more than1.5%. the next 2a, they wouldn't be more than 1.5%. the differences now are so than 1.5%. the differences now are so marginaland so than 1.5%. the differences now are so marginal and so tiny that if you put someone who has a 10% advantage, well, straightaway, you can't live in the same ballpark. and i know we will go back to that again. take me back stop but before we get the
