Showing temporary sign!
Ecotecture have finally exchanged on their new premises, a sustainably located office with a shop front in Sussex Road, Haywards Heath. Haywards Heath is a mainline train station between London and Brighton. We moved in last month from serviced offices in Bolney.
Now work collegues travel sustainably to work using the train from Brighton, Bus from Uckfield or cycling as Jenny, our Part 3 trainee architect does from Brighton! We also operate a car sharing system.
Director Jo Saady quite literally lives ‘over the shop’ so she stumbles down the stairs each morning to her desk. ‘It’s a fantastic change’ says fellow director Jake White: ‘We’re in the centre of town and looking forward to becoming a hub for the exchange of sustainable information for the built environment’.
Over the next year we will be renovating the building to reduce its energy consumption too. For example the building currently has single glazing with slated leaky top vents, and solid brick skin walls. We plan to refurbish to upgrade the thermal envelope, whilst symultaneously living and working in the building too!
