Langleybury Film Hub achieves Building with Nature Award
We are thrilled to announce that Langleybury Film Hub has been accredited with a Building with Nature Design Award, which is an evidence-based award that is used to recognise a project's commitment to delivering high-quality Green Infrastructure when at an early stage of design.
Green Infrastructure proposals support the health and wellbeing of employees and visitors alike.
Working as a key part of the project team, Define prepared a Green Infrastructure Strategy for the project which recognised the 12 Building with Nature Standards and maximised the quality and multi-functionality of the Green Infrastructure throughout the site.
The award recognises the importance of Green Infrastructure in the design proposals, which can be identified in all aspects of the scheme, and will help to demonstrate the benefits that will be brought by the application in the ongoing planning process.
The walled garden will be bought back to life through careful restoration, complimentary architecture and considered landscape design.
We are proud to have two Building with Nature accredited assessors in the team at Define and are passionate about how our Building with Nature approach can add value to projects, both now and for future generations.
Congratulations to all involved!
The Site's historic context and remaining historic features will be retained and celebrated.
