Innovative Office Building in Greenwich Millennium Village

Greenwich Millenium Village, London, UK

Simon Kaufman led the design and technical delivery for a landmark 4,500sqm commercial office building in Greenwich Millennium Village, commissioned by Taylor Wimpey and working with Leach Rhodes Walker Architects. This project combines modern workspace functionality with sustainability and flexibility to meet contemporary business demands.

Key project features include:

• Comprehensive construction documentation and specifications aligned with the latest Building Regulations.
• Two ground-floor retail units that activate the streetscape and enhance tenant amenity.
• Rigorous sustainability measures, achieving BREEAM certification, Secure by Design Gold status, and full compliance with British Council for Offices Category "A" standards.
• Use of lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly materials to reduce carbon footprint and operational energy use.

Designed with adaptability in mind, the floorplans offer flexible layouts that can be subdivided to accommodate varied tenant requirements. A generous ground-floor breakout space includes café and lounge areas to foster collaboration and employee well-being.

Cyclist amenities such as secure storage, showers, and lockers encourage sustainable commuting. Accessibility exceeds standard regulations, fully complying with Greenwich's enhanced wheelchair access standards, beyond Building Regulations Part M.

Simon also secured non-material amendments to the planning consent, ensuring design refinements that optimise cost-efficiency and construction readiness while maintaining high quality and compliance.
