Bond Bryan Sheffield Studio

Bond Bryan’s recent relocation to a carbon-conscious studio in Sheffield city centre represents more than just a move—it’s a commitment to aligning our practice with our core values of sustainability, community impact, and staff wellbeing.

Our new studio serves as a model of how thoughtful design can positively impact both the environment and the people who use the space.

The relocation was a purposeful step in creating a studio that truly represents Bond Bryan’s values. By repurposing an existing building, we minimised embodied carbon and achieved an EPC-C rating. Solar panel installations reduced our operational carbon footprint and provided long-term cost savings.

The design also prioritised staff wellbeing, incorporating flexible workspaces, collaborative zones, and a wellbeing room. These choices not only created a more agile working environment but also fostered a sense of community, ensuring the space supports both productivity and staff happiness.

Our relocation contributed to revitalising Sheffield’s city centre, boosting the local economy and fostering connections with like-minded businesses. As part of our zero-demolition waste strategy, we donated surplus materials to local schools and charities, demonstrating our commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Additionally, the studio’s prime location benefits from excellent public transport and cycle networks, promoting sustainable commuting options for staff and visitors alike, and supporting the city’s post-pandemic recovery.

Sustainability was central to every design choice, from carbon-neutral materials like Burmatex carpet tiles to locally produced acoustic panels. The office’s design also focused on energy efficiency, with photovoltaic panels, low-energy lighting, and natural ventilation.

By embracing flexible working arrangements and reducing desk space, we created a more spatially efficient office that uses less energy while better serving our team’s evolving needs. The project reflects our commitment to a sustainable future, with every aspect of the design supporting our vision for a greener, more responsible practice.
