Embracing both environmental and social sustainability, Timber Square is not only pushing the envelope in low carbon construction but reimagining the possibilities for a people-centric design approach. Located in London’s Southbank near the iconic Tate Modern, the Grade A office redevelopment features two linked buildings, ground-floor retail space, ample outdoor terraces and surrounding pedestrian routes that combine vibrancy with tranquillity.
Placing health and wellbeing at the core of the development, increased light levels and nature-inspired hues will encourage collaboration, learning, and innovation.
The project is pioneering new approaches to designing net-zero spaces, using natural and recycled low-carbon materials, a lighter timber structure, Air Source Heat Pumps as the primary heat source, and modern methods of construction. The scheme will retain 80% of the existing structure and preserve many of the characteristics that make this space unique.
Timber Square is targeting BREAAM ‘Outstanding’, and Well Core Platinum, as well as a commitment to deliver £205 million worth of social and local economic value throughout its project life cycle.
