One Hundred

This project was focused on sustainability and spearheaded by a female-led design team under Emma Wan at AWW Architects. Changing the face of one of Bristol's most prominent sites, just metres from Bristol Temple Meads station, our vision was to craft an iconic and smart building that would serve as a welcoming gateway to the city.

Our mission extended beyond aesthetics; we aspired to develop a high quality environment that enhanced the local surroundings and nurtured a positive internal workplace atmosphere. By improving the visual appeal of the building in this pivotal city centre location, we created a workspace that championed health and wellbeing through thoughtful design. 100 Victoria Street was V7’s first experience of designing for a NABERS Energy for Offices accreditation. From this process, we've learned more about how we can maximise the performance of our developments in operation.

Bravery in design has been a recurring theme. Our integrated approach celebrates both the old and the new, uniting historical and modern aspects through meticulous interface detailing. The retro-first approach serves as a model for sustainable development, with a significant portion of the building successfully preserved, renovated, and expanded.

The project was predominantly designed before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, considerable attention has been dedicated to ensuring that the building is specifically adapted to meet the post-pandemic needs of the workforce.
