A dull planning consent was revisited to create a dynamic mixed use office building on the river Clyst overlooking the Salt Marshes of Topsham with their wading bird population visited by birds & twitchers from around the globe. The glass slopes so the protected birds don’t fly into it. Every design decision has a reason, let each decision influence the final form. Originally planned as a passively heated and cooled building these initiatives were eventually dropped as cost pressures prevailed.
