The latest addition to the Prime Four business park at Kingswells, Aberdeen, is not an office building but a piece of art.
It was created by Prime Four artist-in-residence Rosemary Beaton, using the oil, gas and renewable-energy sectors as a source of inspiration.
The base of the entrance feature is a panoramic seascape set out in wave-form and built up in tiers.
Embedded within it are two steel semi-transparent blue heads – of a man and a woman – more than six feet tall.
Ms Beaton said: “My intention was to create a visually interesting and thought-provoking art piece which explores the relationship between man and the energy he cultivates from beneath the waves.
“Wave movement in particular seemed prominent in this thought process, and I was drawn to the idea of bringing the fruit of man’s achievements to shore.
“This is very relevant to the story of Aberdeen’s success and is highly pertinent to Prime Four.”
Graeme Bone, managing director of Prime Four developer Drum Property Group said: “It has long been recognised that a great working environment has a quantifiable effect on business performance.
“Prime Four has been designed to deliver a socially and creatively stimulating environment for staff based at the park.
“This fantastic entrance statement piece reflects the innovative and pioneering nature of both Prime Four and the tenants based here.”
The art was commissioned by Drum in August 2012 and completed in March.
Prime Four has rapidly become a major hub for the energy industry.
Nexen, Transocean, Apache are already based there and Premier Oil, De Vere Hotels, OneSubsea and Statoil will join them as a second development phase progresses over the coming year.
Also in phase two is the Fourcourt plaza, the park’s social hub, which will have a range of amenities and services including pre-school childcare at the new Kingswellies Nursery.
More than 2,000 jobs are forecast to be based at the £200million-plus park by the time the Statoil complex becomes operational.
