The project consisted of a full office and reception refurbishment along with the extension to the old building.

The building is a blend of the new and the old that attempts to reduce energy use and carbon dioxide levels. Renewable technologies such as ground source heat pumps, photovoltaic and solar thermal panels, and a sedum covered roof were employed and the building achieved a BREEAM “Excellent” rating.
