WINNERSH TRIANGLE CHOOSE MODULAR

ECO-BUILDING

TO SIT AT THE HEART OF NEW LANDSCAPING PROJECT

Jake Walton , Design Manager at Frasers knew they wanted a timber frame naturally clad building . He considered a number of suppliers but made his choice after visiting another joint project between TG Escapes and S & C Slatters . TG Escapes offer a fully inclusive service from in house architectural design and planning , to handover . The building features larch cladding and a living roof .
Why did you want to develop this additional space ? To significantly enhance our Winnersh Triangle customers ’ access to leisure and well-being facilities on-site at the business park .
What made TG Escapes stand out from other providers ? We undertook a significant precedent study of off-site construction options that would meet our aspirations for the project with a product of appropriate quality and TG Escapes ’ portfolio was the best fit to meet those requirements . We particularly liked the robustness of the system and the ability to have a bespoke design .
Winnersh Triangle Business Park is a thriving business community with well-being at its heart . Acquired by Frasers Property in 2019 it provides agile workspaces for a diverse workforce and features stunning outdoor and green spaces . Frasers wanted to enhance the leisure facilities so TG Escapes provided a new sports hub working with S & C Slatters who designed the outdoor space including allotments , a living wall and a new Gen 2 sports pitch .
Frasers wanted to invest significantly to enhance the facilities at Winnersh . Landscaping was key to providing a stunning outdoor area to inspire . However , they recognised that they needed to provide reasons for customers to get outside every day so embarked on the development of a sports hub .
The Pavilion building offers changing rooms , a treatment room , kitchen and a yoga / pilates studio .
What are the biggest benefits you have noticed or are hoping for ? Immediate positive feedback from our customers at Winnersh Triangle . A massive bonus for the business park .
“ I found TG Escapes to have a very proactive procurement and development team , that were happy to work collaboratively with us to deliver the best quality product achievable .”
