A high quality, contemporary design, created to sit within Grade One listed parkland, this unique workplace incorporates sustainable principles and green construction. Inspiration for its elliptical design was taken from the surrounding environment; scattered tree ?clumps? and the sinuous, cloud-form fencing surrounding these. Using the contours of the land, the building emerges out of the landscape, a sedum roof further enabling it to integrate within its sensitive environment . An out of the box approach to sustainability included a Wood Chip Bio Mass Boiler. Uncommon in a commercial setting, it is being used as a pilot scheme for the efficient use of renewal energy sources.
