This project is a new environmentally friendly office building and education facility in Daventry. The project will act as a catalyst for surrounding developments and will provide accommodation for local small research companies. This design provides a perfectly orientated, louvre clad 'box' to containing the office accommodation with a solar space to aid winter heating and summer ventilation. Below this box a new area of urban landscape is created with grass-roofed timber pavilions to house the more public educational and community facilities.
