Office interior praised for sustainability

07-02-2008

An office fit out carried out in a 1960s style building has reached the final of a competition celebrating sustainable office design.

Office design firm Morgan Lovell's renovation of its London headquarters has made it to the last round of the City of London Corporation's Sustainable City Awards - also known as the green Oscars.

The office interior features a number of innovative and environmentally-friendly design aspects including kitchen surfaces made from recycled materials, as well as infra-red controlled lighting systems that switch off when people leave the room.

All wooden surfaces in the office are also certified under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) scheme.

The FSC allows businesses to purchase building materials that are sustainably developed and will not contribute to the destruction of the environment.

Morgan Lovell states that what makes the office unique is that the building itself would be conventionally seen as a "write-off" in sustainability terms.

Managing director David Henderson said: "It demonstrates that older buildings can be made green, without costing the earth."
