Bee House Milton Park
By ShawContract
The Client
In this genuinely collaborative approach, property investment and development firm MEPC and Milton Park Innovation Centre Managers Ashdown Phillips worked with Bath-based SRA Architects Ltd from this project’s early design and brief development stages. The objective is to reinvent an existing building to become an innovative mix of offices, co-working space, and conference and meeting facilities: to breathe new life into an ageing asset.
The Project
Bee House Milton Park
Location: Oxfordshire, UK
ShawContract Collections: Haven, Kindred
Highlights Of The Project
The Bee House concept originated after discovering the what3words square for the location of the building’s Hive Café is “feasted.cloud.honeybees”. This led the design team to translate this into the interior design, interpreted with hexagons, flowers, signage and art.
From a specifier perspective, achieving BREEAM Excellent was necessary, so a floor finish with robust environmental credentials and Cradle-to-Cradle certification helped with this BREEAM certification.
Kindred carpet tiles in style Dream were specified for the serviced offices, in a neutral dark grey (colour Slate) was selected, which could work with whatever interventions occupiers would make.
Meanwhile, Shaw Contract’s Haven collection in style Identity was chosen for its rich textural appearance and colour range. It was the perfect choice for front-of-house areas like meeting rooms.
To evoke a home-from-home vibe, the emotional connection of this was key and worked so well with other finishes in the front-of-house spaces. Carpet tile colours coordinate with walls and wallpaper in each floor’s different colour schemes and themed meeting rooms.
