Project Description :
The Award Winning Green Office for Innovate Property is the highest BREEAM rated building to date achieving a score of 87.55% and was used as the case study and exemplar for BREEAM's "Outstanding" category.
The form of the building has emerged from the first principles of sustainability tempered by an
appreciation of how the environment affects architecture both spatially and aesthetically. The
building exemplifies what passive design can achieve by using orientation, exploitation of thermal
mass, optimisation of plan depth and building section to maximise daylight and a super insulated
envelope.
Our client, Innovate Property challenged the design team to deliver a commercially viable green
building. Taking 5 years to realise, the resultant 46,000 ft² serviced office is 80% more efficient
than comparable offices and has a carbon index of 22kg C02 /m²/annum (the equivalent of the
yearly C02 produced by 16 houses).
The project was completed in 2007. |
