Designed as two crossing blocks, meeting at an obtuse angle, this high quality, open plan office development was conceived as a landmark building at the gateway to Bromsgrove’s primary new Business Park. The use of buff brickwork with barrel roofs and curtain walling gives a contemporary idiom. Careful coordination of building and parking areas within the steep slopes of the site help to integrate the building within its site yet retain the desired prominence.
