Architectural design

Working closely with Hopkins Architects who were the lead consultant and masterplanner for the project, we developed the detailed design and production information for this regional headquarters scheme.

The office buildings exploit the benefits of natural daylighting and natural ventilation and boldly express the structural steel frame internally and externally with an efficient fire engineered structure.
