Lifecycle Impact Commitment finalists
Electrolux Group HQ extension
Climate-leading headquarters extension in Stockholm demonstrates lifecycle excellence
The Electrolux Group headquarters extension in Stockholm exemplifies lifecycle-driven design, achieving BREEAM Outstanding with Sweden’s highest score of 96.6%. This nine-storey office development retained an existing 1960s structure, cutting embodied carbon by 57% compared with traditional construction. Certified under Sweden Green Building Council’s NollCO₂ framework, the project demonstrates verified net zero commitment through Forestry Stewardship Council-certified cross laminated timber, climate-improved concrete, reused materials, and on-site renewable energy generation. The building performs 42% better than national energy standards, setting new benchmarks for sustainable workplace development.
Paradise 11
Pioneering mass-timber office transformation in London
Paradise 11 transformed a former Costa Coffee roastery in London into a next-generation workplace using mass-timber hybrid construction. Achieving BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 Excellent and operational certification in June 2025, the project delivers embodied carbon performance 35% below RIBA 2030 targets. Selected as a pilot for the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard, it demonstrates measurable lifecycle impact through verified whole-life carbon assessment, real-time monitoring via SustainIQ, and design for adaptability, establishing a resilient, future-proof asset aligned with national decarbonisation pathways.
The Rex
Pioneering co-living scheme sets new sustainability benchmark through adaptive reuse
The Rex in Kingston represents the UK’s first co-living development to achieve BREEAM Outstanding, Fitwel 3-star and WiredScore Platinum certifications. This multiple adaptive reuse project, transformed from office to student accommodation and now to co-living, demonstrates exceptional whole-life carbon performance through fabric-first design and passive house principles. Achieving 55% embodied carbon reduction in upper floors and aligning with CRREM 1.5°C pathways, the scheme establishes a compelling model for net zero residential development while enhancing long-term asset value.
TN2 Gateway
Whole-life carbon leadership in logistics development
TN2 Gateway is a logistics development in Tunbridge Wells, UK, that demonstrates exceptional whole-life carbon management through rigorous lifecycle assessment and net zero commitment. The project achieved 351 kgCO₂e/m² for construction phases (A1–A5), meeting London Energy Transformation Initiative 2020 benchmarks, while operational energy demand of 32.78 kWh/m²/year significantly outperforms industry standards. Complete operational carbon offset is achieved through 2,095 kWp of solar photo voltaic generation. This entry exemplifies best practice in embedding lifecycle assessment-driven decision-making throughout design stages, delivering verified net zero performance and long-term asset resilience.
Vacse Skeppsbron 5 AB
Sweden’s first net zero public sector office demonstrates lifecycle excellence
Skeppsbron 5 represents Sweden’s most advanced public sector office development, achieving BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum, and NollCO₂ certification. Located in Stockholm, this project delivers verified net zero carbon performance through innovative lifecycle strategies including low-carbon driven concrete piles, 300m² of reclaimed structural elements, and climate-improved concrete. The building surpasses Swedish energy regulations by 51% through deep green cooling, dynamic solar shading, and onsite renewable generation with battery storage, establishing new benchmarks for public sector sustainability commitments.
