| Description |
|
Horizon House, on Deanery
Road behind Bristol's City Hall, is home to
the Environment Agency, which is quite
appropriate since the building achieved a
BREEAM rating of Excellent and a score of
85.06%. The developer says that, "The
high BREEAM target score set by Westmark
was pivotal in securing the Environment
Agency as a prestigious and long term
tenant. It also gives the tenant the
opportunity to reduce running costs, the
extent of this being determined by how
they choose to use the building services
incorporated into the design."  The architect's website explains that, "... the office space is predominantly open plan around a 5 storey atrium providing natural and mixed mode ventilation. Renewable energy systems include ground sourced heat pumps, solar thermal and photovoltaic arrays. The Bath stone and bronze panelled Deanery Road façade features a structural stained glass entrance pavilion by the artist Kate Maestri."    |
