Constructed to a best-in-class specification, Mammoth 602 was constructed as net-zero carbon in line with the UKGBC framework, and adopting the Planet Mark accreditation scheme.

Built for logistics, it offered significant increased storage capacity with three additional racking heights,37,000 additional pallet positions and an additional mezzanine over and above a standard 15M to eaves building.

Mammoth 602 was global real estate logistics provider GLP’s third building to be net zero carbon for construction, delivering 12% less embodied carbon than industry standard and 15% less operational carbon in day-to-day operations.

In addition to an array of GLP standard sustainability features, including rainwater harvesting and abuilding analytics system, the building featured the enhanced GLP ‘standard’ specification.  This included an ultra-modern treatment to the design of the primary office elevation with a new feature reception, acoustic panels and exposed services in the office space, and an open plan kitchen and break-out area, together with a range of cutting-edge enhancements throughout the welfare facilities. It used natural materials and finishes throughout – including 100% recycled and recyclable carpets and VOC free natural paint.

The development is home to unique landscaping initiatives such as the ‘Tiny Forest’, a collaboration by GLP with Earth Watch and Rame Consulting to establish a small, densely planted group of trees, encouraging biodiversity and carbon sequestration, whilst also acting as a wellness feature for tenants and the local community. The G-Hive scheme and wildflower planting further improve biodiversity.

We were lead architects for the design and delivery and our Thrive team acted as Sustainability Champion, helping to reduce carbon emissions where possible to ensure GLP’s sustainability targets were reached on the project.
