Replacing the existing building, the new flagship scheme aims to dramatically improve the energy efficiency of the factory and create a Passivhaus office, giving additional credibility to their future exemplary global headquarters. The factory goes beyond promoting the company and the local area, to act as a precedent for future projects designated on the Enterprise Zone.

Design
The ideas explored during the feasibility study have evolved to succinctly capture the factory's ‘process driven design’, where the architecture is driven by the manufacturing steps, to aid and improve the overall efficiency of production, business operation and energy use.
These principles are apparent within the design and have heavily informed the orientation, massing, and structural layout of the main factory building and office accommodation. A two building solution has emerged acknowledging the need for a distinct difference in environmental building requirements for the separate uses: factory and office administration.
