Feature
Key features
Industry-leading GGBS integration
The building frame incorporates 65% GGBS cement replacement – a ground-breaking figure for commercial building construction.
Forward-thinking solutions
The low embodied carbon frame aspires to exceed LETI targets and is designed for flexibility in use as well as future retrofits.
Reducing volume of materials
The piled raft design reduces the volume of material used on site, limiting both the construction programme and embodied energy.
Coordinating with neighbouring development to lower embodied carbon
Careful coordination with the adjoining development and reusing their temporary works halved the basement construction’s embodied carbon.
