Workspace has played a key role in the employment-led regeneration of areas across London for over 30 years and we take this responsibility seriously.
Creating attractive, sustainable environments that positively contribute to local communities closely aligns with the expectations of our customers and investors, who are increasingly concerned with the sustainability of office space and reducing their impact on the environment.
This year, we committed to becoming a net zero carbon business by 2030 and published our pathway to achieving this goal, in line with our approved Science-Based Targets. These are aligned with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and cover both operational and embodied carbon.
Mare Street Studios
We transformed a tired industrial and commercial building to provide new offices in Hackney.
The project was designed to achieve an Excellent BREEAM New Construction rating and holds an EPC B rating. 95% of the waste generated during the refurbishment was diverted from landfill and the building achieved a 20% reduction in carbon emissions compared to pre-refurbishment levels.
The site offers 144 indoor secure cycling bays and eight showers. It has a 50m² haybase green roof, with over 20 floral species, in line with Hackney’s wildlife recommendations, and renewable energy is provided via solar panels and air source heat pumps.
