Our sustainable design centred around retaining the original four-storey structure and adding a one storey extension to create 25,000 sqft of quality workspace. We introduced full height glazing and balconies to the existing facade, (saving 39% embodied carbon, equivalent to 59 tonnes of concrete), and created a new double height reception. We invested in extensive landscaping for the wellbeing of employees and to increase biodiversity in the local area.

In addition to radically reducing upfront carbon emissions, our passive design strategy included exposing concrete slabs for improved thermal mass. The net zero carbon all-electric clean energy scheme is enhanced through mixed mode ventilation. We developed on-site renewable energy generation and blue roofs as part of a sustainable urban drainage system. The new redevelopment surpasses best practice and saves an impressive 69% operational carbon compared to a traditional office building.
