Commercial Property Project of the Year Award

摘要

The £32M project to transform a cellular office building into a modern open plan format has improved the working environment for the UK Hydrographic Office's 850-plus staff. Features include an exposed concrete frame and generous 3.5m floor-to-ceiling heights, creating impressive levels of natural daylight. The glazed atrium roof consists of 203 rooflights which open to allow natural ventilation, reducing the building's energy demand. The project will track its sustainability footprint through energy management software installed to ensure the building operates efficiently as designed.
