Planning approval granted for new Grade A office building at Brabazon

Responding to the city’s growing demand for commercial space, the eight-storey development will serve as both a gateway to the community and a dynamic hub for movement and exchange - all underpinned by strong environmental ambitions.

It will offer modern, flexible workspaces alongside active ground floor uses, including a cafe and a fully integrated station ticket hall which is currently under construction.

At its heart, the design reflects our client’s vision: to make arriving at Brabazon an experience. Whether commuting, working or heading to Bristol’s future Arena, the building is designed to welcome, connect and inspire.

Sustainability at the heart

Environmental performance and wellbeing are fundamental to the proposals. The project is targeting an ambitious suite of industry-leading certifications, including an EPC A Rating, BREEAM Outstanding, NABERS 5 Stars, WiredScore Platinum, SmartScore Gold and WELL Enabled accreditation.

A range of sustainable design measures have been embedded within the scheme, including passive design strategies to maximise natural light and reduce heat gain, high-performance glazing and horizontal solar shading. Biophilic features such as green planting, ecological buffers and a landscaped roof terrace will provide access to nature and support biodiversity.

The building will also encourage sustainable travel choices, with extensive cycle storage, showers and changing facilities provided to promote active commuting.

Importantly, the integration of the office with the new station premises encourages public transport use and helps to reduce car dependency - a crucial step towards creating a truly connected, walkable and sustainable neighbourhood.
