services engineer Waterman, Fletcher Priest developed a sustainability strategy based around the principles of a circular economy, including using natural, low-carbon materials alongside extensive re-use of the existing structure. This ultimately saved more than 20,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
The use of natural, low-carbon materials such as timber and extensive re-use of existing building elements meant that 60 tonnes of waste wood were diverted from the site and re-used through Community Wood Recycling, a social enterprise that collects wood waste and gives workplace opportunities to local unemployed or disadvantaged people. Coupled with other onsite initiatives enabled the project to reach a waste rate generation of 1.84 tonnes/100 sq m. Mari Samuelsen, associate and project architect at Fletcher Priest Architects, comments: ‘The extensive re-use of the existing structure and fabric was a key decision to a more sustainable design response. Our architecture and interior teams worked collaboratively to design a series of strategic interventions creating more generous, active and welcoming spaces

including new external terraces that take full advantage of the spectacular views this special location offers.’
Stone surfaces in the reception have been substantially retained, with new recycled terrazzo flooring and timber ceilings reducing the embodied carbon. The existing lifts and lobbies have been refurbished rather than replaced, with new controls added to reduce waiting times. The all electric EPC ‘A’ building uses intelligent LED lighting and air source heat pump technology to cut the operational carbon footprint of the building by up to 45%. Through these changes, as well as the circular economy principles executed throughout design and delivery, Fletcher Priest have extended the life of this building whilst using a third of the carbon compared to an equivalent new build. ‘It was pleasure being part of the team that rejuvenated this landmark building in Paternoster Square,’ comments Samuelsen. ‘The comprehensive yet sensitive retrofit is a prime example of how we can enhance and revitalise the best qualities of existing architecture whilst meeting current and future occupiers’ needs.’
