Windmill Green
This project was the redevelopment by FORE Partnership of a 1970s building into a highly sustainable building offering Grade A office, retail and leisure space, located in a prime location in the city.
Designed by TP Bennett Architects, the building was partially demolished, stripped back to shell, extended over a courtyard and two new floors were added to create circa 80,000 sq ft. Built with sustainability at heart, the building achieved BREEAM 鈥極utstanding鈥� and WELL Building Standards.
Windmill Green was completed in March 2019 and provides a new kind of workspace. The brick fa莽ade and windows have been replaced with curtain walling incorporating green terracotta, a curved corner and a new impressive entrance with a living wall. A communal roof terrace provides stunning panoramic views and also accommodate solar panels and an apiary for bees.
A dedicated entrance, lockers and showers are provided for cyclists. A ground floor caf茅 will spill out onto the pavement and the new public realm works. The lower floors will provide flexible co-working space to create a collaborative, inspiring and supportive environment.
