Low carbon workspace for The Portman Estate shortlisted for BCO Awards 2026
We’re pleased that The Portman Estate Head Office has been shortlisted for the BCO Regional Awards 2026, in the Fit-Out category for projects up to 2,500m².
Shaped through close staff collaboration, the Marylebone workspace sets a low carbon benchmark for future commercial developments across the Estate. Low carbon and high recycled content materials – including Scandinavian redwood stud partitions, wood fibre insulation, clayboard and clay plaster – reduce embodied carbon while creating a warm, natural interior.
The design balances openness with functionality, supporting hybrid, remote and in person working. A varied mix of spaces includes large meeting rooms, call booths and a flexible café style area suited to collaboration and events. The layout retains distant views to Hyde Park and incorporates curved corners that subtly reference the building’s Art Deco heritage.
The project was visited by the BCO Awards Judging Panel and the London Regional Awards will take place in April.
