Modularity and flexibility were placed at the heart of our architectural thinking, so that GreenPlaces could meet the needs of small and medium-sized companies, industries and start-ups, as well as their budgetary and operational constraints. The project is firmly contemporary in its expression and prioritises current environmental concerns.
Constructed from timber, the commercial units comprise three floors which can accommodate research and development, creative, production, warehousing and office activity.
The modular concept allows business owners to expand across multiples of approximately 66 m2 of floor space. The units are offered with the following dimensions:
The user can extend the mezzanine to cover a complete floor.
The user can extend the mezzanine to cover a complete floor. Additional planning permission may be necessary.
Use of the premises can be highly flexible thanks to interior walls that divide the space. For example, an independent entrance door means the office/storage space can be isolated from the production area/garage on the ground floor by means of an interior wall.

Columns and beams in glued laminated timber.
