Bridgwater Gateway

The Bridgwater Gateway development project focuses on delivering a sustainably designed commercial hub across plots 1400 and 1500. The vision is to create flexible, eco-conscious industrial workshop units ranging from 750 to 1,500 square feet, with 33–50% mezzanine spaces, totalling 20,000 square feet in this phase.

The design champions sustainability, incorporating cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures, net-zero carbon principles, and maximised solar photovoltaic panels. Landscaped elements such as ponds, edible planting, and wildlife habitats enrich the site, enhancing biodiversity.

The project includes electric vehicle (EV) charging points, cycle storage, and permeable materials to minimise environmental impact. Units are designed with adaptability in mind, using modular dimensions to reduce waste and encourage future flexibility. Features like vertical landscaping, greywater systems, and eco-friendly materials underscore the project's commitment to sustainable innovation.

Thoughtful access, waste management, and public engagement strategies, such as interactive picnic spaces, integrate the development harmoniously into the community. As a demonstrator for net-zero industrial projects, Bridgwater Gateway showcases a forward-thinking approach to commercial property design in the UK.
