| Jonathan Hines, architect - "Architype is delighted to have been involved with this exciting project and to work with such a committed client. Our approach was to design from first principles a building that is truly sustainable, works at a practical level and enables the Greenshop to demonstrate its philosophy and products." |
| Natural Interiors |
|
Interiors throughout use natural finishes. Wooden floors from FSC oak in the upstairs offices and hard wearing bamboo in the showroom. All paints and finishes are from Auro UK's range of natural paint products. The design ensures there is maximum natural lighting in all the interior offices, for example the use of a clerestory (a row of windows just under the eaves) gives good daylighting in the main office.
