Conventional solutions, such as grout or cementitious screeds, were avoided. Instead, the team developed alternatives using stone wool insulation, dry-fix techniques, and reversible fastenings. These methods support future flexibility while ensuring that the carbon stored in the timber remains locked away for generations.
Human wellbeing: At the core of urban futures More than a technical achievement, Paradise is a human-centric building. Floorplates are flooded with natural light, air quality is passively managed with openable façades, and views across Old Paradise Gardens offer vital biophilic relief in the heart of the city.
Legacy materials, living facades One of the most visible symbols of Paradise’s legacy is its self-cleaning, demountable terracotta façade, designed
in collaboration with local school children, drawing on the area’s Royal Doulton heritage. These tiles, like the building itself, are made to last over 100 years, and can be reused in the future.
A platform for global imitation Paradise SE11 serves as a benchmark for the next generation of regenerative cities. By integrating circular economy strategies,
prioritising design simplicity, and placing equal value on human wellbeing and environmental responsibility, the project establishes a replicable model for sustainable urban development. More than just an office building, it demonstrates how architecture can actively contribute to climate solutions, shifting the built environment from being part of the problem to becoming a key part of the answer. This is workplace design which seeks to challenge the status quo and through rigorous testing and research and innovative approaches proves that environmentally and socially responsible architecture can support the much- needed transition to regenerative design and a zero-carbon economy. Paradise is more than a workplace, it’s a blueprint for a regenerative, low-carbon future. Built to be taken apart, celebrated for its simplicity, and designed to inspire what’s next.
