Material Works Architecture has designed the interiors of Sustainable Workspaces at County Hall in London, United Kingdom.

Sustainable Workspaces repurposes abandoned parts of a historic building to create a new home for a community of emerging climate tech businesses.

The low-impact design focuses on minimising embodied energy, pioneering innovative materials and cradle-to-cradle life cycles.

The project celebrates the site's 'as found' condition and maximises the use of existing and reclaimed materials.

New interventions are formed using de-mountable systems with recyclable materials derived from natural sources, by-products and waste streams.

The scheme dramatically reduces the embodied carbon used in construction and suggests a new aesthetic language that directly addresses the climate emergency.

This project has been shortlisted in the sustainable interior category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
