Architype have designed attractive and contemporary office headquarters for the Hexagon Housing Association on this prominent site in South London. Users enjoy a high quality, healthy working environment which is provided through the use of:

• High levels of insulation

• Triple glazed windows with flexible solar control

• Organic paints

• Natural fibre carpets throughout the office spaces

The building is also ventilated using an innovative Termodeck system which provides conditions equivalent to air conditioning at approximately half the cost.

In winter, air is drawn through the hollow cores of pre-cast concrete floor planks that act as a heat sink and provide radiant heating. In summer, cool air is drawn through the slab at night to provide cooling during the day.
