Lime Technology - lime-based building products: Marks & Spencer, Cheshire Oaks. Client: Marks & Spencer Project:Cheshire Oaks Location:Ellesmere Port, Cheshire Architect:Aukett Fitzroy Robinson Product:Hemclad® Completion:2012 ‘Sustainability’ is a term often attached to construction projects which are far from being truly sustainable, especially when compared to the industry’s continually evolving standards.
However, when done properly sustainable construction can deliver truly outstanding results – as demonstrated at the soon-to-be completed Marks & Spencer Cheshire Oaks store, near Ellesmere Port on the Wirral. In construction, there are traditionally three major factors to consider when choosing location, companies used and specification of materials – these being price, quality and time. In recent years, sustainability has become the fourth and an equally important point for consideration, affecting the choice of the aforementioned three factors. Time for change. Aukett Fitzroy Robinson - Architects. Introducing: M&S Cheshire Oaks. Cheshire Oaks Sustainable Store M&S Cheshire Oaks is the largest store we've ever built and it’s also one of the largest sustainable retail stores in the world.
Designed to be the most carbon efficient premier store, it takes a holistic approach into key sustainability factors such as water, carbon, biodiversity, the community, materials and zero waste to landfill. It’s the third in a series of sustainable stores, following Ecclesall Road and Stratford City. Building Greener. March_April.
