Considering each component’s lifespan, prioritising reuse, with a plan to reconfigure internal spaces without wasteful demolition. Designed for a 5-year lease, we applied circular economy principles, reusing components/considering end-of-life, reusing items in other sites. 79% of furniture is from remanufactured/refurbished sources including JLL’s former office. Other assets were rehomed, with 1,250 items donated to Business2Schools . We targeted the UKGBC 2025 Energy Use Intensity Milestone and achieved a 37% reduction in embodied carbon vs baseline.

Materials: post-industrial plastic waste worktops, acoustic soffit spray from recycled natural materials, recycled leather waste cladding, meeting tabletop from recycled suits. We sought third-party verification of environmental credentials for each item. Build: ensured zero waste to landfill, carbon tracking, chain of custody certification, VOC monitoring. Health focus: reduced VOCs in material/product selection; living green walls, 1,800+ plants improve air quality/reduce stress; active workplace promotes movement; lights enhance colour rendering quality; sit-to-stand desks, maximised daylight; acoustic zoning (quiet spaces).

Achieved: • JLL Inclusive Workplace Standard Gold (user experience central to design) • BREEAM Excellent • SKA Gold • Tétris Sustainability Code score of 92% • Considerate Constructors Scheme Certificate of Excellence: scoring highly for community respect, protect environment, securing everyone’s safety, valuing workforce Targeting: • WELL Platinum
