"11 Belgrave Road is an exemplar for how to convert an
existing building that is not currently fit for purpose into a high
quality, low operational and low embodied carbon office space.
We were excited to lead on NABERS - the only office-specific,
in use, energy efficiency rating system - and proud that 11
Belgrave Road was the first building in the UK to achieve a
pre-certified rating of 5.5*."
11 Belgrave Road is designed to achieve Net Zero Carbon
in both Construction and Operational energy in line with
the UKGBC Framework:
• Type of Net Zero achievement: Construction and
Operational Energy
• Building type: Office & Retail
•. Scope: Base Build
Tom Watson, Director at Heyne Tillett Steel
"11 Belgrave was a flawed, unloved 1950s building that could
have easily been demolished without a second thought. That
we managed to retain 35% of the structure - whilst keeping
none of the internal columns – is a testament to the client and
design team’s determination to demolish as little as possible.

“The retained slabs are re-supported off new PT slabs in what
we believe to be a unique approach. The temporary works involved were complex; existing defects and an increased fire period created further challenges. The result, however, is a
refurbished building that has real integrity, and crucially, a
lower embodied carbon than a pure new build. A project I’m
immensely proud to have played a part in."
Rod Stiles, Director, BAM Construction
“It has been an incredibly exciting journey delivering one of the
UK’s most sustainable workplaces. Through the entire build
our focus has been to put people and sustainability at the heart
of the design of 11 Belgrave by reducing waste and carbon
