Other things to note The building has been designed to be highly sustainable as we recognise that by designing and refurbishing the existing, we can greatly reduce our environmental impact. 
 Wherever possible we want to avoid wasteful demolition, recycle old materials and when choosing new finishes, fixtures and fittings base our decisions on sustainability first and price second. The penthouse is equipped with a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery unit, conserving energy, feeding fresh air to every room with automated extract linked to humidity sensors and contributing to the wellness of its occupants. In addition all the natural ventilation has been retained and fenestrations introduced wherever possible, with openable windows throughout the offices. We have specified healthy, natural, breathable clay render throughout. The steel skin roof includes 150mm quadcore insulation, providing twice the thermal performance of rock mineral fibre with superior fire protection and a 30 year warranty. In addition, with a roof area of 900 sq m we have the ability to retrofit 192 solar panels, which would provide 65 Kwh of electricity and avoid 23,000 kgs of Co2 per year. We retained specialist engineers who certified the reuse and modification of the majority of the existing steelwork in the building, which was we are proud to say was manufactured by the Lanarkshire Steel Company in the 1930’s. Oak floors have been sourced from sustainable forests which are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified and resin floors with A+ ratings in BRE’s green Guide due to their organic compounds. We have introduced a Living wall, reducing ambient temperatures and increasing the feeling of well-being. We believe that our suppliers and consultants share our values and collectively we aim to prove that conservation goes hand in hand with high quality mixed use development.
