Huckletree Kensington breathes life into a generic office building to create a vibrant and up-lifting shared workspace that celebrates the possibilities of innovative sustainable design. Focusing on the creation of spaces that invite collaboration, interaction and creativity, the design draws on a rich variety of textures and finishes to produce vivd and inviting spaces.

​

The design accommodates a diverse range of working patterns. At ground level these range from traditional meeting rooms to touch-down work stations and a barista station. The upper-floor is modelled around the members bar, with banquette seating and sliding partitions arranged to create varying levels of intimacy from a corner snug to the open roof terrace.

​

Throughout, materials have been chosen for their minimal embodied energy and commitment to cradle to cradle life cycles. Recycled plastics are used throughout to create work-tops and joinery alongside natural wood wool and timbers in dyed finishes. New flooring and fabrics are 100% closed-loop recyclable and low carbon graphene based paints were used throughout. As as result the works achieve the maximum gold rating SKA sustainability certification*.
