The judges recognised ONE Station Hill as a building designed to meet the evolving needs of the modern workforce and attract top talent: “Productivity, wellness and sustainability are all promoted here through a next-generation office design. It has achieved Active Score Platinum, Well Platinum, AirRated, BREEAM Outstanding, EPC A and provides an all-electric design with net zero whole lifecycle carbon.”
The judges noted how the building’s façade is designed to maximize natural light and ventilation, with a double-height reception area featuring lounge seating, touchdown tables and flexible event spaces. The ground floor also includes a state-of-the-art fitness club, nearly 200 cycle storage spaces, and 24 showers.
The building’s design incorporates cutting-edge technology, including a dedicated smart building service through the ONE Station Hill smart app. This allows tenants to personalise their workspace by controlling lighting, HVAC, and other systems, as well as book desk and meeting rooms, and access building news, events, and local offers.
The BCO said: “The judges came away convinced that One Station Hill is a landmark development that redefines urban living and working in Reading and is playing a key role in regenerating the area. This is an uplifting building which puts Reading into a new class of the business market.”
