Text description provided by the architects. Architects Corstorphine & Wright announce the completion of a new headquarters in Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire for Unusual Rigging. This innovative two-storey building, set on a 4-acre site, is a showcase for cutting-edge circular economy principles and low-carbon design. It also stands out as one of the first new build circular buildings in the UK. With a glulam timber frame and natural biogenic materials, the HQ achieves an impressive EPC A+ rating, producing more energy than it consumes. The building design prioritises functionality and user experience, featuring two rectangular wings connected by a central double-height atrium with a striking staircase, framing a landscaped courtyard. This inviting space serves as the heart of the building, enhancing employee and visitor experience.

在内部，布局提供了开放式办公室、私人会议室、休息区和食堂的混合体，在平衡协作和隐私的同时，随着公司的发展也提供了灵活性。该设计遵循基于被动房标准的织物优先方法，以确保高水平的能源效率，同时最大限度地减少碳排放。亲生物设计原则，如自然种植和有机形式，无缝整合，促进更健康、更高效的工作场所。循环经济原则指导着室内装修，注重低隐含碳和高再利用潜力。使用了摇篮到摇篮认证的材料和可逆的固定方法，以最大限度地减少浪费，确保建筑的寿命和可持续性。
Internally, the layout offers a blend of open-plan offices, private meeting rooms, breakout areas, and a canteen, balancing collaboration and privacy while allowing for flexibility as the company evolves. The design follows a fabric-first approach based on Passive House standards to ensure high levels of energy efficiency, whilst also minimising embodied carbon throughout. Biophilic design principles, such as natural planting and organic forms, are seamlessly integrated, promoting a healthier and more productive workplace. Circular economy principles guided the interior fit-out, focusing on low embodied carbon and high reuse potential. Cradle to Cradle certified materials and reversible fixing methods were used to minimise waste, ensuring the building's longevity and sustainability.

在与当地建筑师Walker Associates、Corstorphine&；Wright开发并交付了各种可持续设计元素。该建筑使用可再生能源，包括屋顶光伏和空气源热泵。软木地板、可回收地毯砖和Accoya固雅木覆层等材料反映了对长期可持续性的承诺。选用了透气的天然涂料和摇篮到摇篮认证的家具，以确保室内空气质量，并在建筑寿命结束时易于拆卸。通过专注于可重复使用的材料和低碳解决方案，Corstorphine&；Wright创造了一座既实用又环保的新建筑。
Following early-stage collaboration with local architect, Walker Associates, Corstorphine & Wright has developed and delivered a variety of sustainable design elements. The building uses renewable energy sources, including rooftop photovoltaics and an air-source heat pump. Materials including cork flooring, recyclable carpet tiles, and Accoya timber cladding reflect a commitment to long-term sustainability. Breathable, natural paints and Cradle to Cradle certified furniture were selected to ensure indoor air quality and ease of disassembly at the end of the building's life. By focusing on reusable materials and low-carbon solutions, Corstorphine & Wright has created a new building that is as functional as it is environmentally responsible.

硬景观设计是由回收和再利用的景观材料拼凑而成的网格，包括从当地有150年历史的北安普顿市场广场拆除现场保存的鹅卵石。软景观具有生物多样性和低维护性，包括一个新的池塘，以提供额外的动物栖息地和自然雨水衰减。非同寻常的HQ是创新材料和施工方法的试验台，包括首次使用Breathoard，这是一种传统石膏板的可持续天然替代品。虽然循环经济原则通常强调再利用和改造，但Unusual HQ专注于未来的材料再利用。该建筑不是严重依赖回收材料，而是为其组件在未来可拆卸和重复使用而设计的。该建筑提供了一个无与伦比的例子，说明现代企业如何在创造一个功能性和鼓舞人心的工作空间的同时采用可持续的做法。它还强调了平衡体现和操作碳的复杂性、可重复使用材料的有限供应，以及致力于客户支持这种严谨、前瞻性的建筑方法的必要性。
Hard landscaping is designed as a patchwork grid of reclaimed and reused landscaping materials, including cobblestones saved from the demolition site of the local 150-year-old Northampton Market Square. Soft landscaping is biodiverse and low maintenance, including a new pond to provide additional animal habitats and natural rainwater attenuation. Unusual HQ serves as a test bed for innovative materials and construction methods, including the first-ever use of Breathaboard, a sustainable natural alternative to traditional plasterboard. While circular economy principles often emphasise re-use and retrofitting, Unusual HQ focuses on future material reuse. Rather than relying heavily on reclaimed materials, the building is designed for its components to be disassembled and reused in the future. The building offers an unparalleled example of how modern businesses can adopt sustainable practices while creating a functional and inspiring workspace. It also highlights the complexities of balancing embodied and operational carbon, the limited supply of reused materials, and the need for committed clients to champion this rigorous, forward-thinking approach to architecture.

Unusual Rigging董事总经理Tom Harper表示：“很高兴能让Corstorphine&Wright承担Anusual新总部和研究大楼的设计工作。从一开始，他们就接受了我们根据循环经济的关键原则建造新办公室的愿景，在许多情况下挑战了关于所用结构材料的传统假设；Wright说：“Unusual Rigging的新总部是循环经济原则和低能耗设计的先驱。它采用可持续的生物材料建造，经过精心设计，具有耐用性和可拆卸性，确保建筑在使用寿命结束时可以重复使用。该项目通过解决材料的‘真实成本’，包括其社会和环境影响，挑战了传统方法，并为可持续循环建筑的未来提供了试验台。我很荣幸能为Unusuals Rigging提供这座建筑，我为我们共同取得的成就深感自豪。”
Tom Harper, Managing Director of Unusual Rigging, said: "What a pleasure it has been to have Corstorphine & Wright undertake the design of Unusual's new HQ and research building. From the start, they embraced our vision of building a new office in accordance with the key principles of the circular economy, in many instances challenging conventional assumptions about the structural materials used. At a time of global ecological crises, there are few organisations out there that seem to be demonstrating 'active hope', who are showing that an economy that is truly regenerative and restorative by design is a possibility. It has been an inspiring journey." Jonny Plant, Director at Corstorphine & Wright, said: "Unusual Rigging's new HQ is a pioneering example of circular economy principles and low-energy design. Built with sustainable, biogenic materials, it has been carefully designed for durability and disassembly, ensuring the building can be reused at the end of its life. The project challenges traditional approaches by addressing the 'true cost' of materials, including their social and environmental impact, and serves as a test bed for the future of sustainable, circular architecture. It has been a privilege to deliver this building for Unusual Rigging, and I am deeply proud of what we have collectively achieved."
