Aberdeenshire new build & refurb projects
11 October 2024
Case study, Construction
The objective of the new office building of Aberdeenshire Council in Ellon was to ensure that the construction was highly energy efficient and built in line with circular economy principles. Circular principles were integrated in the design of the building by using a layering concept that would enable the building to be repurposed if needed and that would ease disassembly for reuse. The project focused on creating impact in terms of waste reduction and finding alternatives for excess furniture and other office material.
