    We are please to announce that our multi-phase scheme for Perspex International has been grated planning approval. 🥳 This was my first project to get across the line after the BNG requirements became mandatory, the site had many other unique challenges to address in its development. We worked closely with Clancy Consulting, Hart Process Services and the Client to produce a scheme that will streamline the manufacturing facility for an more eco-friendly future. Operations director, Bryan Welch, said the investment will build upon the company’s relationship with Darwen. “Perspex first came to the town during the Second World War as it was seen as a safe place for the plant, which was manufacturing Spitfire canopies,” he said. “Perspex acrylic has been a leading brand in plastic since the 1930s and Darwen is the only production site for Perspex across the whole of the UK.” He added: “This major new investment demonstrates our commitment to the town, it will allow us to modernise and streamline the way we work and allow us to become much greener – reducing CO2 emissions and water consumption, something we are passionate about.” In fact the Perspex plant was originally built in Darwen as it was the foggiest place in the UK in the 1930s and it was thought that this would help hide the facility from air raids.

  • International Mentoring Day reminds us of the potential we all have to make a positive difference in each other’s journeys.   We’ve launched two pilots across several of our studios, focusing on employees in various roles and the scheme encourages cross-studio mentoring, bridging geographical and departmental gaps, encouraging knowledge sharing and fostering a more cohesive and connected organisation.  Mentors, drawn from different levels of seniority, provide valuable insights and encouragement to mentees as they develop skills in areas such as design software, project management, sustainable design, and client communication. Importantly, this also aligns with our wider commitment to improving efficiency, wellbeing and inclusivity across the practice. #InternationalMentoringDay #Mentoring #CorstorphineWright

  • Wednesfield Technology Primary School welcomed its first students this past September. As part of Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust, the new primary school has been designed and delivered as a Passivhaus Certified building. The design process was informed by the desire for a new, NZC (Net Zero Carbon) building, which provides a high quality, inspirational teaching environment for teachers, pupils, and staff.  Lead Architect James Edwards shared “It has been an incredible project to be a part of to develop a new state-of-the-art Passivhaus school providing quality facilities to the children of the area. Through continual collaboration amongst the design and construction teams, we were able to develop a robust range of details exceeding the stringent requirements of Passivhaus resulting in a highly energy efficient school and model for future schemes.” #CorstorphineWright #PassivhausSchool #Passivhaus #SustainableSchool
