New Parliament Building
(Portcullis House)

Location: Palace of Westminster, London
Client: Michael Hopkins and Partners
Description: PM's offices and ancillary spaces

Notes:

Bill Dunster worked on the environmental strategy and façade design of this high profile, long life, energy efficient office building adjacent to the houses of parliament, London while working at Michael Hopkins & Partners. Another member of the ZEDfactory team, Steve Harris, was one of the package architects for the scheme and as such the practice has valuable experience in high specification city centre office spaces. The building features façade integrated ventilation systems and a host of other low carbon technologies including twin skin facades, heat recovery Munter Wheels, ground water cooling circuits and passive cooling systems.
