Describe the key innovation and technology aspects of the project

Project Narrative

The 1 Triton Square retrofit innovatively applied circular economy principles, notably in the façade's refurbishment, reducing carbon emissions by 48% compared to typical commercial buildings. It utilized carbon fiber reinforcement to boost structural capacity by 40%, without compromising space. 1 Triton Square is now one of the lowest carbon HQs in the UK, with 40,000 tonnes of carbon saved compared to new build workplace. The reuse and strengthening strategies enabled three additional storeys to be added to the existing building, increasing the floor area by 70%
