Milton Park

We worked with Dunthorne Parker Architects on the design of a new £6.5 million, 4000m2 office building located in the grounds of a former stately home on the outskirts of Egham.

The building is a highly sustainable building designed to be ‘future-proofed’ by setting the floor-to-floor levels, raised floor depth and service riser provision in a way that allows the tenant to fit the building out using traditional cooling and heating plant, or more environmentally friendly methods such as chilled beams and displacement ventilation.

The structure is traditional reinforced concrete flat slabs, so that the thermal mass can be used to assist the servicing strategy. The larger 12m central bay is spanned using upstand beams hidden within the raised floor keeping the soffit clean. The feature canopy entrance is formed in steelwork reducing to a thin edge and supported on two slender tapered columns achieving a feeling of lightness.

The building was subsequently occupied by a single company as their headquarters.
