Hackney Council have recently opened their new Centre to consolidate their public-facing functions and over 1000 staff onto one site.

At the heart of this new building is a five-storey atrium, which will become a new public space for the people of the Borough.

Many functions, which historically in civic buildings have been concealed from public view are drawn out and made visible to all.

The layouts support the Council’s drive for new-ways-of-working to creatively and efficiently deliver the highest possible standard of public service.

The building achieves BREEAM ‘Excellent’ through a combination of efficient façade, environmental control, gas and wood pellet boilers, together with photo-voltaic cells.
