CGA was appointed to explore the potential for additional commercial facilities at the existing Thremhall Park site, which comprises modern, flexible offices within the setting of a once ruined and now converted country house, archaeologically significant priory site and areas of high ecological sensitivity.

Through successful engagement with Uttlesford DC, and supported by Sworders of Ware, consent was given for four large, new buildings; three office blocks and an amenity pavilion abutting an historic walled garden, along with extensive surface car parking.

Phase 1 is now complete, delivering flexible office space designed to respect the local, agricultural vernacular and the historic barn ranges on the adjoining site.

Phase 2 includes a larger masonry building, designed to ‘complete’ and rebalance the existing masterplan, and the pavilion, with its dramatic inverted roof, floating over a masonry base, lightly abutting a Listed wall to one side, with mature, protected trees as its backdrop.
