Proposed Office Development, Dunsbury Way, Havant

Tuesday, 15th September, 2009

This site represents a unique opportunity within Leigh Park to create a
contemporary and flagship office development of the highest quality.

The location, is close to the Local shopping centre, and within easy reach of principle routes and transport options, and will provide an enterprise at the heart of an established neighbourhood with mutual benefits.

In principle the proposals are in line with the approved outline masterplan for the site which stipulates Industrial/commercial to the South and East, and residential to the North and West and the community facilities on the road frontage forming a link between the two.

The layout of the building is designed in such manner as to allow independent and secure access to individual office areas on each floor, this would offer the opportunity for seminar rooms to be available to outside users,
to generate further revenue.

The elevations proposed are contemporary with use of terracotta tiling system; blue engineering bricks, solar control glazing and brie soleil. The curved frontage provides a focal point and addresses the main road junction.

The massing of the building corresponds well to the proposed development
to the north and east of the site.

We endeavour to design an energy efficient building and propose to maximise natural ventilation, implement a heat recovery system, and use photo voltaic cells to generate electricity for the communal lighting systems.
