Project overview

A thriving technology park designed to attract new and innovative businesses

Combining our masterplanning, architecture and landscape design expertise, we are shaping a forward-thinking, dynamic and sustainable technology park. As part of a broader masterplan, the technology park aims to create a prosperous and opportunity-rich area, attracting new businesses and investors through the creation of approximately 560 new jobs across 280,000 sq ft of commercial space.

Our vision is to create functional, attractive and well connected campus, featuring six individual buildings seamlessly integrated into one sustainable site.

Inspired by biophilic design principles and understanding the positive impact this has on productivity, our design prioritises the health and wellbeing of people by blending the buildings and landscaped areas to improve people’s connection to their surroundings.

Masterplan

Designing for today and beyond

Our vision is to create a sustainable, connected, and economically vibrant local area that benefits residents, businesses and the environment. The masterplan focuses on energy efficiency, attracting new businesses, enhancing public spaces and future-proofing the buildings to stay aligned with evolving environmental standards and technologies.

project aims

Supports cutting-edge work and technological advancement

Part of our client’s brief was to transform the site into new commercial floorspace. The site is designed to be used for activities such as laboratories, research facilities and other innovation-focused businesses.

To enhance the local community and encourage more active lifestyles, our design will also incorporate a blend of public and private spaces, including open green areas, pedestrian paths and cycleways.

This will also help shape a sense of community, providing residents and workers with inviting outdoor areas for relaxation.

Demonstrating our commitment to a greener, future-proof development, we’ve thoughtfully designed the buildings to target BREEAM Excellent certification, ensuring the highest standards of environmental performance.

Each building within the site has been designed to cater uniquely to its future tenants, ensuring a versatile and productive environment for all.”

Brecon will be ideal for research and development activities, including flexible commercial spaces and workshops, accommodating diverse tenant requirements.

Plot F (Sugar Loaf)

Catering for diverse business activities, Sugar Loaf will provide large, open floor plans, offering a versatile and productive environment.

sustainability

Shaping a sustainable, comfortable and efficient place to work

To create more energy-efficient office spaces, we’ve thoughtfully positioned the naturally ventilated buildings from east to west, maximising daylight while allowing passive control of solar heating and shading.

For a pleasant and comfortable working environment, our design for each building includes louvered side panels and high and low-level opening windows for cross ventilation, welcoming fresh air into the space. The high ceilings will also help to brighten up the space and boost employee health and wellbeing with natural light and air, helping to increase energy levels, enhance moods and improve focus and productivity.

Our landscape design also supports sustainability by including electric vehicle charging points. Showcasing our commitment to long-term sustainability, each building is designed to include renewable and low carbon energy sources.

Landscape design

A thoughtful approach prioritising sustainability and wellbeing

The inspiration behind our landscape design is to shape a vibrant and biodiverse environment. Our strategy focusses on enhancing the site’s natural features to provide high quality outdoors spaces that improve the health and wellbeing of employees and people who will use the space.

We placed a strong emphasis on improving the area's biodiversity. This involved a coordinated approach with the wider design team, especially the drainage engineer, to seamlessly integrate our Green Infrastructure (GI) initiatives into the overall design strategy.

This approach ensures that ecological corridors, sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and green roofs are effectively used to support biodiversity and manage water sustainably. Additionally, by retaining the site’s native trees, shrubs and grasses, we offer safe habitats for local wildlife, further enhancing the site's biodiversity.

Coupled with the spectacular backdrop of the Malvern Hills, our design aims to create quality spaces that benefit both people and the environment, blending architecture with nature to foster a sustainable and enriching workplace.
