producer of content about the natural world. It was imperative to provide a highly sustainable design to support people who use storytelling to give the natural world a voice. The space has been awarded a SKA Gold certification. The workplace accommodates different user requirements, including hypersensitive and hyposensitive needs, with the design scheme including a variety of different settings enabling individuals to work in environments that best suit their tasks and with their preferred surroundings.


The material choices reinforce BBC Studio’s leadership in programming about the natural world. All timber used in the project was certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The design team sourced reclaimed wood in feature areas. Walls made of cork, a natural and rapidly renewable material that reduces noise, improves acoustics in meeting spaces.


Most furniture was reused. The design scheme also features quality preloved furniture where available. Using clay-based paints, instead of typical emulsion paints, reduced airborne odours and contaminants. The clay-based paints also lessen static charge build up, which minimises dust and allergens. Biophilic design elements create a healthy, uplifting environment and another connection to the natural world.
