Plan were appointed by Grenadier Estates as part of multidisciplinary design team to transform the business park at Oxygen House to create an exemplar model for sustainable work places of the future.

 

The scheme will deliver a new solar array on an existing slope to the north of Oxygen House, a new carpark with solar car ports for electric vehicle charging to the south and, where the existing car park sits adjacent to the building, a new productive garden with spaces for work, rest, exercise, connected habitats and food production.

​

The regenerative led design of the garden uses principles of permaculture for its creation and long term management. This involves sustainable sourcing of construction materials, minimising intrusive construction techniques, minimising carbon intensive materials, employing an ecology led planting scheme and considering how maintenance can be part of a regenerative circular system.

​

The concept sought to create an integrated living system where nature and people fulfil equal roles for the benefit of both. This will create an exemplar workplace that, through its quality and appeal, gives people a reason to work together in-person – somewhere people actually want to be!
