Largest Mass Timber Office Block in the UK

Following the Grenfell Fire, new regulations necessitated a reworking of construction methodologies. Our client developed the largest mass timber office block in the UK, addressing these regulatory changes and pushing industry boundaries. The project involved adapting to more stringent fire regulations and insurer reluctance, which reduced demand for timber structures. By demonstrating how this project innovatively addressed these challenges, we successfully defended the R&D claim.

Sustainable Office Building

The project focused on sustainable design principles for the façade, M&E systems, and material choice, emphasising low embodied carbon and energy efficiency. As the industry moves towards sustainable building design, this project showcased opportunities for innovation in new techniques. We highlighted how these sustainable design elements advanced beyond current practices, supporting the R&D claim.
