project overview
Transforming what the future workplace will look and feel like
HEMISPHERE is our new Grade A office building, with collaboration spaces, a wellness studio, cafe, and new areas of public realm, set to be the first operationally net zero carbon building in the Liverpool City Region.
The building sits on the new Paddington Village development next to our recently completed The Spine, the new northern home for the Royal College of Physicians (RCP).
One of the project’s key aspirations is to create a place for a happier and healthier workforce which will encourage greater creativity and productivity through its smart design features.
With biophilic interventions used throughout, the workplace will prioritise health, social and cultural wellbeing, aspiring to achieve six global sustainability accreditations.
In line with the ethos of ‘bringing the inside out’, HEMISPHERE will provide outdoor workspace and spaces for exercise and relaxation for both employees and the general public to enjoy. It will also feature an innovation lab and multi-purpose event space.
HEMISPHERE’s unique design and position at the gateway to the city will make the building a place that people will want to visit, whilst showcasing the very best of health, life sciences and technology in the region.
