Peter is a driving force behind many pioneering sustainable projects at Bennetts Associates, a leading UK architecture practice that has achieved a series of ‘world-firsts’ in sustainability. Currently he is overseeing several Net Zero carbon workplace projects that are pioneering the use of timber, and re-use. Workplace building Timber Square in Southwark comprises an extended 1950s steel printworks and a 15-storey new building - a hybrid timber construction on a scale not yet seen in the UK. Structural joints are visible and reversible – aiding future deconstruction. The building is on-track to receive a 5-star NABERS UK Energy Rating once in operation, having achieved UK’s first Design for Performance project to complete its Independent Design Review. Bennetts Associates is also leading a commercial office building which is the largest full timber building currently in the UK.
