Joined by Dickon Hayward (Material Works Architecture), Dan explores how the project challenges conventional workplace design by embracing reuse, material honesty, and radical sustainability.

Together, they discuss the realities of designing within a historic structure, the creative reuse of waste materials, the balance between cost and environmental ambition, and how celebrating the raw qualities of materials can shape a distinctive and responsible workplace.
