YardNine and BauMont Real Estate Capital's innovative 13,000 sqm office facility at the City of London's 100 Fetter Lane incorporates cutting-edge sustainability features and circular economy principles. The scheme is known for trialling the first-ever standardised approach to Materials Passports, developed by Waterman's Sustainability team and Anastasia Stella of Circuland.
LONDON, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Set across 12 storeys plus ground, basement, and mezzanine levels, this ambitious office development designed by Fletcher Priest Architects offers occupiers extensive terraces on multiple levels with nearly 400 sqm of soft landscaping.
Working in close collaboration with the project team and main contractor Mace, Waterman's team provided multidisciplinary consultancy services for Edenica including sustainability, building services, structural engineering, and environmental input.
The project team looked beyond conventional design and embedded a holistic approach to sustainability throughout, achieving an embodied carbon footprint of 594kg/sqm, and surpassing the stringent UKGBC and GLA benchmarks. Edenica is widely known for trialling the first-ever standardised approach to Materials Passports, developed by Waterman's Sustainability team and Anastasia Stella of Circuland. The use of Materials Passports is now at the forefront of the construction industry's drive to adopt circular economy principles within emerging standards, policy and regulations. The scheme is on track to achieve a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating and has recently achieved a Wired Score 'Platinum' rating, thanks to its integration of the latest technology and flexible working practices.
YardNine's Co-founder, Maxwell Shand, said: "We're delighted to see our goal of delivering a highly sustainable office facility at this prime City of London location come to fruition. With its focus on wellbeing, user experience, and connectivity, Edenica is an exceptional modern workspace. Thanks to the forward-thinking design, it has the in-built flexibility to be adapted in the future to suit evolving business requirements for years to come."
Ed Williams, Managing Partner of Fletcher Priest Architects, said: "To have worked on this pioneering piece of architecture in the City of London, embedding material passports into the design and enabling future circularity, is quite an honour. This building sets a new standard not just for sustainable design, but also for the post-pandemic workplace and the need to provide a comfortable and enjoyable environment for all employees to work in. From generous, light-filled volumes to landscaped terraces to opening windows (and a pub) - 100 Fetter Lane provides an opportunity for businesses to situate themselves in a brilliant location with top-of-the-range workspace and amenities.
It's an even greater honour to be making this building our new home, and we're looking forward moving in later this year."
Waterman's Managing Director for Building Services - South, Mark Terndrup, said: "I'm delighted to see this exceptional scheme reach completion. This has been a truly collaborative effort, and the whole team has pushed the boundaries of what's possible with the sustainable design of commercial offices. By embedding circular economy and futureproofing principles throughout the design, we've created a building which will stand the test of time whilst driving down embodied and operational carbon. It was a pleasure to work with BauMont Real Estate Capital, YardNine, Fletcher Priest Architects, Mace, and the wider project team, and we look forward to continuing this on future projects."
Ged Simmonds, Managing Director Private Sector, Mace Construct, said: "Within the construction industry, circularity is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and waste. The material passport application at Edenica serves as a test bed for future widespread use, with up to 80% of the building's materials reusable in future projects. This new technology is now set to be standardised and replicated to create a thriving new economy in reusable materials."
