The award-winning building comprises 144,500 sq ft of office accommodation and achieved WELL Certification at the Platinum level—making it only the second UK building to achieve this for fully fitted premises incorporating both Cat A and Cat B under a single application. The project also holds a BREEAM Excellent rating and won the BCO Regional Award 2023 for Best Corporate Workplace.
Across ten floors, the design emphasises sustainability and employee wellbeing, with 80% of materials sourced through fair trade or salvage. Spaces are flooded with natural light and enhanced by features such as cycling facilities, wellness studios, outdoor terraces, a family room, and a library. This thoughtful approach has increased energy efficiency by 35%, despite the building’s size growing by 45%, and removed single-use plastics throughout the site.
