The Co-op Steeple Claydon

The Co-op Steeple Claydon in Buckinghamshire is our third project for this house-hold brand. Another new Co-op store which will be powered by 100% renewable energy. The Co-op approached this new build using a 'cradle to cradle approach'. This means that between 80-100% of all materials used eg. foundations, glazing and cladding have the capacity to be re-used within a future new build. Just one approach which will assist them in meeting their carbon reduction ambitions to be NetZero by 2040.

With many more sustainable initiatives in place, including re-using energy expended by fridges to re-heat the store, the addition of FOUR HYVERT living walls externally, will also provide extra insulation whilst at the same time reducing air pollutants and boosting biodiversity. It will also make a beautiful focal point for the local community too. (Our thanks to the Co-op for sharing these great images with us.)

Bright Building

Managed by Bruntwood SciTech, Bright Building can be found in the heart of Manchester Science Park. To ensure that the plants continue to thrive indoors, we also installed a correct-lux lighting rig too.

HYVERT surface

In Spring 2024, we installed our 'HYVERT surface' living green roof, upon the roof of Unicorn Grocery in Chorlton, Manchester. Unlike the more usually found sedum green roofs, HYVERT surface has been carefully designed to include unique pockets of wildflowers and shrubs.

West Village Leeds

Working with Cubic Works, Architects & Designers 3DReid and Contractor Robertson Group for our client Bruntwood Sci-Tech. Bruntwood SciTech's West Village, Leeds was a Custom Installation project where besides roof terrace plants and trees and the installation of a HYVERT Living wall with bespoke rainwater recirculation system, our internal project scope was equally immense!

Commercial Client Manchester

17 York Street has always been a busily occupied office building in Manchester. Refurbished in the 90's it has now benefitted from another sustainable re-fit thanks to the expertise of Reid Architects and Specialist Contractor, RCL Services.

Foundation

Located in Altrincham just South of Manchester, Foundation is a joint venture development between Trafford Council and Bruntwood. This regeneration project is a perfect example of how to address sustainability, economic transformation and social inclusion utilising previously vacant properties in key town centre locations.

The Plaza

Working with Bruntwood and design studio Phaus, we were excited to help to transform The Plaza on Old Hall Street Liverpool into a thriving new communal workspace. The interior design scheme within the communal areas respectfully pays homage to the building's age, but place one foot inside Bruntwood The Plaza's new lobby area and it's instantly apparent that it's now catering perfectly for the modern day needs of it's new community and visitors.
