Shortlisted in the WORKPLACE category and for the ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PRIZE

Marek Wojciechowski Architects (MWA) were appointed to prepare proposals to redevelop the land to the rear of 1-3 Britannia Street, a historic warehouse in the London Borough of Camden. Plantworks, a former mirror workshop, is a pioneering workspace built with integrated urban planting and designed to nurture wellbeing.

MWA have delivered an attractive, modern and sustainable commercial development with a low environmental impact - office workspace that is exemplar in enriching the user experience whilst placing sustainability at the forefront of design. The striking development will safeguard the site for employment use and deliver a high-quality design that draws on the heritage of the area.

Plantworks’ design was driven by a sustainable approach, integrated with architecture that referenced the light industrial history of the site. This led to a material selection of exposed steelwork, polished concrete and aluminium framed-glazing alongside a rich and vibrant planting scheme.
