Revival Cycles workshop is located above the ground level. The building is composed of a random arrangement of intersecting hexahedrons inspired by the keyword "industrious", forming a blunt and jagged outline. Square openings resembling exhaust pipes are used to illuminate the interior, including the motorcycle production facilities which are located within the large orange cube. The finished motorcycles can then be transported via an elevator to the ground level show space.

The ground level is divided into two sections. The Revival Cycles show space is located along the datum and sheltered by an overhanging platform. The platform is used as a food court for the second client - Heston Blumenthal.
 Through a spiral staircase leading into the ground, Heston's kitchen is located below the datum. The series of colourful volumes are derived from the keyword "vibrant". The kitchen, pantry and entrance spaces (purple, orange and red respectively) are arranged circularly around the cyan hub. This section of the building is better demonstrated in the animations below.
