9 Greyfriars Road wins South of England & South Wales BCO Award

The BCO judges were impressed that as well as boasting an EPC rating of ‘A’, 9 Greyfriars Road was the first building in the South East, outside of London, to have achieved BREEAM ‘Outstanding’.

The care and thoughtfulness that led to this considerable achievement has been applied to every element of the project, the judges said.

They noted that the entrance and external hard-landscaping has been reconfigured to make the most of a challenging micro-location and the building has been re-clad in high-quality glazing that flood the floorplates with light.

In addition, the judges said the reception feels airy, welcoming and generous for a building of this size, and the materials in conjunction with the colour palette, gives the building a sense of style and quality.
