A refreshed workplace for SUEZ in Weston-super-Mare

SUEZ’s refurbishment of its Weston-super-Mare site delivers a modern, people focused workplace that brings teams together and gives the building a renewed identity. Delivered across two phases while the site remained fully occupied, the project transformed existing office space into a welcoming environment that supports collaboration, everyday work and community connection.

After securing a new lease on its building in Weston-super-Mare, SUEZ, a leading global provider of environmental solutions, set out to refresh the space and create a sustainable workplace that its people would enjoy coming to and feel better supported by. Having previously delivered SUEZ’s Maidenhead office, we were well placed to design and build this project in the South West.

An assured arrival

The design places the ground floor at the centre of the workplace experience. A new arrival area, meeting suite and café form a central hub that acts as the main destination for staff and visitors. From here, the layout naturally leads into quieter workspaces across the rest of the building.

The arrival area creates a strong first impression, with a clean design centred around a bold blue corrugated wall and simple sign in desk. Close by, there's a variety of meeting rooms, with larger spaces that can open up for group sessions and team gatherings.

At the heart of the space sits the new café inspired area. Designed to be the go to social space for the whole team, it has a variety of seating options including communal tables and booths that work for morning coffee, lunches and informal catch ups, as well as larger events and staff meetings. The walls feature energising colours and photography of the SUEZ team in action, helping to showcase their work and make the space more uniquely SUEZ.

Open plan work areas use a neutral colour palette and acoustic panels to support a calm atmosphere, with pods and quiet zones giving staff choice in how they work.

Gold standard in sustainability

Making the building more sustainable was a key target of the refurbishment and the project successfully achieved a SKA Gold rating. Solar panels were installed on the roof, while all windows, fascias and soffits were upgraded to more sustainable options. Finishes include recycled materials and furniture reused from the previous office or repurposed through an upcycling scheme. A new lift and upgraded welfare facilities also made the building fully accessible.

A workplace ready for the future

The completed space gives SUEZ a refreshed workplace that encourages people back into the office and supports stronger team connection. With a clear sense of arrival, flexible spaces and a central hub designed for everyday use, the building now reflects the organisation’s culture and long term ambitions.
