In the BCO Awards 2016, the Regional Award for the Commercial Workplace category was won by I & II Pinehurst, Farnborough Business Park, for which Watkins Payne provided the building services consultancy role.
I & II Pinehurst was praised by the judges for reflecting the needs of the modern worker whilst still being sympathetic to the neighbouring architecture. The development was also commended for its careful selection of materials – combining a variety of quality cladding which anchor the buildings into the textured landscape that surrounds it. Overall, the judges felt that the office offered a well-designed, efficient and flexible working environment.
The two buildings provide 110,000ft² of office space and achieved a Very Good BREEAM rating.
