Sustainability goes far beyond just the green initiatives we implement in our office spaces. It's about creating environments where people feel cared for, happy, and motivated. It's a powerful realisation: sustainable design isn't just about the materials we use or the energy we save. It's about the Lives that unfold within those spaces. When people feel good in a space, they engage more positively with those around them, fostering a community that's sustainable in the truest sense. As an architect, I've learned that when we design spaces with people's well-being at the heart, we're not just constructing buildings; we're building communities that thrive on their own. Together, we can redefine the essence of sustainable living for generations to come. #work #culture #sustainability #future #growth #success #TheHealthyOffice

You’ve got to love a project that treats sustainability as an integral part of the design, rather than being simply an add-on. I introduce ‘Holbein Gardens’…….. Rethinking Steel: Sustainability at the Forefront in London's Holbein Gardens ♻️️ This project is pushing boundaries in sustainable construction: Holbein Gardens by Heyne Tillett Steel! The office development in London's Sloane Square is a shining example of how we can transform outdated buildings into awesome workspaces with a focus on circularity. Here's what makes Holbein Gardens so interesting: ▶ Pioneering Steel Reuse: A whopping 35% of the structural steel used in the project came from reclaimed sources! This not only reduced embodied carbon but also helped establish a more sustainable approach to construction. ▶ Modern Meets Retro: The project involved refurbishing a 1980s office building and adding a new floor. This clever strategy breathes new life into existing infrastructure while creating a modern and flexible workspace. ▶ Net-Zero Hero: Holbein Gardens is designed to be a net-zero carbon building by 2030. This achievement is thanks to features like an all-electric design, extensive greening, and innovative materials. ♻️ By prioritizing reuse and achieving significant carbon savings, Holbein Gardens sets a new standard for sustainable office development. #SustainableConstruction #SteelReuse #CircularEconomy

An interesting article on sustainability and accreditation Vs occupancy and use by Adam Strudwick in Building Design. "Joint research by Knight Frank and BRE shows that of the 4,500+ offices leased in central London between 2020 and 2023, the proportion of those within BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and ‘Outstanding’ rated buildings has risen from 28% to 42%. And yet, with average office occupancy levels across London and the UK still sitting at around 35% - according to Remit Consulting’s latest ReTurn Report – the net sustainability of these certified-green spaces remains debatable." https://lnkd.in/eW8VtjUH

In Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland, a newly completed LEED Platinum office building, designed with flexible working schedules in mind was recently completed. Opting to use the existing 1950’s buildings on site, instead of demolition and construction of new ones, lowered their overall carbon footprint, but other decisions throughout the process enhanced it. Inside the project, a refurbished atrium is adorned with new gardens and biophilic greens walls to enhance the buildings connection to the outdoors. The materials itself throughout the interior of the project are primarily recycled materials, as well as refurbished and locally sourced. No matter how big or how small, the location or environment, sustainable building practices are possible in every scenario We’re all in this together #sustainabledesign #sustainablearchitecture #sustainableconstruction #sustainablecities #sustainablebuilding #sustainability #LEED #leedplatinum #helsinki #finland #renewableenergy #adaptivereuse

Hans Reineke, Founding Partner at Hollandse Nieuwe Architecture & Interior design, shares his opinion on how workspaces are transforming. Read about it here: https://lnkd.in/dbH-sJrB   🔑 Key Takeaways: How do you see workplace transformation evolving in 2023? “We're in a perfect storm: forced remote work, understanding hybrid models, and creating healthier, sustainable environments.”   How are companies using workplace design to attract and retain talent? “The physical workplace embodies an organization's values, crucial for connecting employees on all levels.”   What lessons can workplaces learn from hospitality and residential design? “Removing barriers to enhance employee performance aligns with principles from hospitality and serviced apartments.”   How have you been using sustainable products and implementing sustainable designs in their offices? “Sustainability is a commodity; it is non-negotiable: A sustainable environment should be energy efficient, use healthy materials, and be well-being-focused with circular design.”   #WorkspaceDesignShow #WorkplaceTransformation #Sustainability #Innovation

Pushing boundaries through innovation. Eden is one of the UK’s most sustainable office buildings and has achieved an upfront embodied carbon rate of 664kg CO2/m2 as compared with more than 1,000kgCO2/m2 for a typical office scheme. Here are just some of the sustainable features incorporated into Eden’s design: 🍃 Use of reclaimed materials, such as the raised access floor sourced from a site being demolished in Scotland 🍃 Use of recycled materials, such as recycled glass worktops in the on-site café 🍃 A 60:40 solid to glazing ratio 🍃 Implementation of the best available technology for airtightness, heating, and cooling 🍃 The 36,000 sq ft living wall is kept green via rainwater harvested from the roof By incorporating innovative construction methods in the design, and high-performance technology for when the building is in operation, the life cycle cost of Eden is expected to be up to 60% less than a typical Grade A office.

Eden is part of the wider £1bn, 50-acre Salford Central masterplan being delivered by The English Cities Fund (ECF), a joint venture with Muse, Legal & General, and Homes England.

🏢✨ Unlocking the Power of Adaptive Reuse Design ✨🏢 Experience the magic of history reborn through successful renovations and office conversions. At Private Label, we understand the art of adaptive reuse—balancing preservation with innovation to create spaces that resonate with their past while embracing the future. With an experienced team and strategic approach, the benefits are vast: from cost savings to sustainable construction, from preserving cultural heritage to revitalizing communities left vacant by economic shifts. We are certainly not strangers to repositioning assets, and from a design perspective, we like a good story of leaving a building better than we found it and affecting the community in a uniquely positive way. Through thoughtful design and meticulous planning, we breathe new life into old spaces, leaving a positive impact on both the building and the community. Join us as we uncover the beauty of adaptive reuse and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. 💫 https://lnkd.in/gNV9BsWs #AdaptiveReuse #OfficetoResidential #HistoricPreservation #CommunityRevival #DesignInnovation #InteriorDesign #MultiFamily #PropertyRepositioning #PrivateLabelInternational #PrivateLabelExperience

Absolutely, the conversation around sustainability and eco-friendly practices has gained significant traction, even in the planning of outdoor spaces. The traditional approach of heating or cooling open outdoor areas, which is not only inefficient but also costly and wasteful, is facing increased scrutiny. Enclosing these spaces emerges as a viable solution that greatly enhances functionality while aligning with sustainability goals.
