The building will have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/clt-connectors-and-fasteners\/79641\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cross-laminated timber<\/a> structure and an extruded terracotta fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p>The proposals are on target for almost 60 years of a negative carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>The floor heights and flexible open-plan layout, in combination with the servicing strategy, will create a building that is future flexible and low energy in use.<\/p>\n<p>This whole-life approach to the net-zero carbon office has also been reflected in the consideration given to the end of life strategy, such as connections for the structure allowing for easy disassembly.<\/p>\n<p>The workplace will support the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/green-building-sustainability\/72679\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">health and wellbeing<\/a> of future occupiers from within the building and has been designed with WELL standards in mind.<\/p>\n<p>The timber structure will be exposed, with natural light and ventilation maximised throughout.<\/p>\n<p>At second floor level, the open floor plate will bring a strong visual connection from passing trains to the historic Old Paradise Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>The site is a key link in the green chain that joins Waterloo to Vauxhall.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018A collective approach to sustainable design\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Alex Whitbread, Partner at Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, said: \u201cParadise was born of a collective approach to sustainable design, humanistic values and quality place-making, but also the desire to make a healthy and innovative workplace that people would love to use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParadise is designed to be part of its local and citywide community and to make a responsible contribution globally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this scheme receiving planning permission, we hope it will set the standard for office design that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/net-zero-carbon-office\/69614\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">net-carbon zero<\/a> and has the wellbeing of the user at the fore. We are looking forward to bringing it to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bywater has proposed that up to 13% of the total floor area should be non-office (light industrial and maker space) of which 68% is affordable and made available first to local businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Options for a number of layouts have been developed with Bywater, which respond to the current and future requirements of the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Theo Michell, principal of Bywater Properties, commented: \u201cWe are extremely proud to have received planning permission for Paradise at what is a critical time for our environment and economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that if we are to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/planning-system-covid19-2\/79887\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sustainable recovery<\/a> from the impact of Covid-19, we must build in a way which is cleaner, greener and healthier than before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe this project sets a benchmark for healthy and environmentally aware design. At Bywater, we are committed to exploring sustainable and low-carbon alternatives for buildings and we look forward to bringing our plans for Paradise to life\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Walker, chairman of Bywater Properties and managing director of Iceland Foods, added: \u201cReceiving planning permission for Paradise is the result of many years of hard work and we are grateful to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lambeth.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lambeth Council<\/a> for their decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVauxhall is a fantastic area for this kind of development, bringing new businesses and employment opportunities and complementing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/8-albert-embankment-2\/77577\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Albert Embankment<\/a> opportunity area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bywater team has worked hard to create something truly special for this site and we are excited to be continuing our journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The net-zero\u00a0carbon office development will enable the creation of jobs in Lambeth, and in providing this kind of flexible workspace encourage the creative industries to operate in this part of London.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning permission has been granted to FCBStudios and Bywater Properties for a six-storey net-zero\u00a0carbon office development in Vauxhall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[566,594,277,693,676,430,279,649,567,934],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-80185","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-energy-news","7":"tag-air-quality","8":"tag-building-design","9":"tag-built-environment","10":"tag-climate-change","11":"tag-construction","12":"tag-energy-efficiency","13":"tag-environment","14":"tag-planning-applications","15":"tag-planning-system","16":"tag-wellbeing"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Green light for net-zero carbon office in Vauxhall<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Planning permission has been granted to FCBStudios and Bywater Properties for a six-storey net-zero\u00a0carbon office development in Vauxhall\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/net-zero-carbon-office-2\/80185\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Green light for net-zero carbon office in Vauxhall\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Planning permission has been granted to FCBStudios and Bywater Properties for a six-storey net-zero carbon office development in Vauxhall\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/net-zero-carbon-office-2\/80185\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
