The first Grade A new office building in central Woking in 7 years has completed. The Scott Brownrigg-designed Space building offers open plan flexible floor plates, totalling 87,010 sq ft, over a basement, ground and seven upper floors. The resulting building provides an efficient working environment, considerately designed to provide a space for businesses to thrive.

The design brings City-of-London office standards to central Woking. Designed to a market-leading specification it benefits from impressive sustainability credentials – it has an EPC ‘A’ rating / a target BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and a target Fitwel 2 star rating.

Space comprises of a basement car park, incorporating cycling facilities, showers and changing rooms, further car parking to the ground floor with reception and space for future retail or office tenants. Above are seven floors of modern office, fully fitted out to Cat A standard. One of the key design principles of the CAT A design concept was to reduce stress and promote healthier living, enabling future tenants to concentrate better, interact more effectively and work more productively.

Striking architectural features are incorporated throughout the development. The building’s dominant feature is its faceted glass, differentiated by a series of distinctive vertical fins. The ground floor is defined by floor-to-ceiling glazing and provides a generous, uninterrupted space.

“Scott Brownrigg were enlisted to design a new office space to support Woking’s emerging townscape. Our design enhances the wellbeing of the occupants, whilst offering a sustainable addition to the town centre, ultimately catalysing wider improvement and development of the area.”
