The UK's most sustainable office building

Designed to outperform conventional office buildings.

Botanic Place delivers high-performance workspace with a significantly lower environmental impact – reducing carbon emissions and operational costs.

Cultivated for
sustainable performance


With 100% potential. The highest rating of any UK workplace.


An outstanding level of energy efficiency and performance.

High performance,
naturally engineered for you

Climate-responsive façade
designed to optimise solar
performance year-round

Advanced solar modelling has informed the building’s massing and façade design. The type, depth and angle of solar shading for both summer and winter sun has been meticulously adjusted to optimise performance and natural daylight whilst reducing peak cooling loads to save energy and reduce costs.

Where high-performance comes naturally

Water recycling and
harvesting for a greener
building

Grey water recycling and rainwater harvesting systems reduce water demand by reusing captured water for flushing and irrigation, lowering operational costs, improving resilience during shortages, and supporting a more sustainable workplace.

Where sustainability isn't added, it's embedded

Intelligent, demand-led
ventilation reduces energy
demand

Night purge ventilation uses cooler evening air to flush heat from the building's exposed thermal mass, lowering internal temperatures before occupancy. This reduces daytime cooling demand, cuts operational energy costs, and improves occupant comfort naturally.
