Judges’ Comments
“This project demonstrates the very best qualities of craftsmanship to achieve the potentially conflicting sustainability certification standards of Enerphit, BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Gold. The team took a fabric first approach, with a commitment to a circular economy and re-using/recycling materials wherever possible. This extends to fit out (including lighting) and furnishings, 65% of which are recycled, and others use innovative materials including hemp and crushed paper.”
