Workplace where skates are useless (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

office

This might be a double definition.

'workplace' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'where skates are useless' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

(Other definitions for office that I've seen before include "Where a white-collar worker works" , "Administrative unit" , "Position, or building in which colours in layers" , "Department" , "Business premises" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
