The new three-storey building has been designed by CPMG Architects and is being built 0n a 4.5 acre site in Hampton.

Energy efficiency will play a significant role within the new building; the positioning and size of the windows will allow for minimal artificial lighting. PV roof panels will also be installed, and a high thermal mass construction combined with bris soleil will help to regulate the temperature of the building.

B&K aims to complete the project towards the end of 2018. The project team also includes Couch Perry & Wilkes and Curtins Consulting.

Stephen Chambers, regional director from Bowmer & Kirkland said: “This will be a unique head office for British Sugar that will provide an excellent working environment whilst enhancing the local landscape in an area that has benefited from recent improvement.”
