Watershed brings together the following three principal drivers in a truly unique workspace with exemplar energy performance.

  • Out-of-town centre office locations are becoming the preferred choice for progressive companies. They offer the potential of creative and harmonious working environments with easier access and lower rents.
  • A reduced carbon footprint and conscientious approach to the environment benefits a company both inwardly and outwardly providing a very positive statement of purpose.
  • Low-energy buildings offer minimised running costs in a time of escalating fuel prices.

New green living roofs over the existing earth-sheltered structures create high-ceilinged interiors enjoying ample daylight arranged around a central courtyard.

Simplistic yet very effective design solutions release the very significant energy-saving potential lying dormant within the existing structure.

Renewable energy sources and heat recovery devices mean BREEAM “outstanding” certification can be targeted with confidence.

A short refurbishment programme (25 weeks) allows the spaces be offered for lease “off-plan”, an opportunity for the tenant to collaborate during the design stage and individualise their working environment.

With competitive rates and exceptionally low running costs, Watershed represents a turning point towards a “performance-led” future of commercial green developments. One reason we feel the name to be so apt.
