Office Headquarters (Phase1) for FMCG

The work at Albury Court was split into 2 phases. Phase I, which is complete, consists of the alterations and extensions to an existing converted complex of agricultural buildings. The client, a field marketing consultancy, was rapidly out growing their current accommodation and required both a short term and long term solution to their needs.

Their existing buildings wrapped around three sides of a courtyard. The main problem was that the arrangement was uneconomical, due to the space required for circulation.

A striking new cloister was constructed of exposed tapered timber columns, supporting a timber structure and aluminium brise-soleil. This new addition provides circulation outside the main office building, creating additional usable space. The walls are generally glass, using an aluminium glazing system, on a brick plinth wall, set back from the exposed structure. This gives a translucent effect and allows light into the existing buildings.
