brent cross town

3 copper square

This innovative new workplace fosters creativity, collaboration and productivity, providing office space over 14 floors, plus flexible retail space at ground level. The office, a cornerstone of Brent Cross Town, is designed to reduce embodied carbon by 13%, making it BREEAM Outstanding with 100% renewable energy supply for heat and power.

Our approach emphasises design for well-being. A hybrid cross-laminated timber and concrete structure features exposed timber soffits – scientifically proven to increase wellbeing, as well as softening the lighting and acoustics, to provide inspiring, creative, flexible and collaborative workspaces. Offices have been designed with an expansive double height reception and flexible open floor plates. Generous provision of external spaces includes landscaped terraces and private outdoor amenity at multiple levels, with views out to landscaped parks and beyond to Hampstead Heath. A mono-pitch roof makes a dramatic contribution to the roof-scape and celebrates the gateway to the site.

the arbour

A new eastern station entrance, designed in collaboration with Studio Egret West, creates an impressive welcome to this emerging neighbourhood and opens up access to the lower levels of the two adjacent commercial plots.

Designed with a focus on function whilst celebrating arrival, a 13m high timber structure frames a landscaped ‘green’ entrance space, emphasising well-being and a connection with nature. A central glulam spine supports a simple glass canopy, punctured by apertures which let in natural daylight to support the growth of plants beneath.

a gateway to signal ambition

Brent Cross Town is ideally positioned to attract businesses and sectors who share a desire to be part of a network greater than their own and hold common values of championing quality of life and sustainability, and 20% of the people involved in its delivery are residents of Barnet, Brent or Camden boroughs. The new station provides a gateway for new and existing communities to central London, two international airports and link to Eurostar services. Just 12 minutes from central London, the station will connect to existing tech and life sciences knowledge clusters at King’s Cross, Old Street and Oxbridge.
