Unusual HQ is a pioneering office project for a rigging company in Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire. Located on a 4-acre industrial site, it allows the business to expand by repurposing its existing warehouse space. This project serves as a testbed for circular economy principles and low-carbon design, emphasising sustainability and the reuse of materials. Rather than following the traditional take-make-dispose model, the building is designed to be dismantled and reused at the end of its lifespan, minimising environmental impact. Every design decision reflects the ‘true cost’ considering not just market price, but also the social and environmental costs throughout the supply chain.
