Working alongside the project architect, this fast paced scheme was submitted under the tightest of deadlines in competition with Heatherwick Studios and Gimshaw Architects, to be successfully selected and in turn appointed. The design incorporated sedum roofs, solar heat collectors and rainwater harvesting, with overspill running off into a central lake for minimal waste. This also served as irrigation for surrounding fields. There was careful a negotiation between public and private areas of the masterplan, as well as controlling views and achieving mechanical safety distances, this being a part of a full technological report. A knowledge of building-type proved to be an important factor in the battle to win the project.
