The Hawk Creative Business Park was conceived and built as an eco-friendly, sustainable conversion from an 1880’s “model Home Farm” to the then Hawkhills Estate. It was designed to retain the integrity and character of the original layout while at the same time using and integrating the very latest in technology. This included a Building Management System with the installation of the first automatically dimmable low energy strip lighting which ensures consistent light levels as external light levels change together with underfloor heating powered by renewable biomass as its energy source in the UK. These measures ensured that the Energy Performance Certificate gave a very low ‘A’ rating of 16 rarely seen in new build let alone renovations. At the same time, investment in a fibre optic connection for the broadband supply afforded maximum flexibility and offers to tenants for internet connectivity and telephony with virtually immediate connection.
