Summary of Project:
Warren Farm was an intact but derelict group of Farm buildings which included farm houses, out-buildings, yards and a system of ponds, all in a rural setting. The ponds were inhabited by a colony of rare 'protected' great crested newts.

A developer / architect open competition was initiated by Milton Keynes Development Corporation and our team was awarded the project.

The scheme uses the original farm spatial organisation and inserts new buildings in amongst the old, and refurbishes those original buildings, including 2 listed buildings, which were viable for re-use.

The old pond system was restored and extended, and a new public pedestrian walk was introduced for recreation.

In all, some 37 individual self contained office buildings were created arranged around a series of courtyards linked by a series of pedestrian pathways.

The new buildings combine the use of high quality traditional materials with modern efficient working accommodation. The original retained buildings are restored with largely reclaimed materials.

Warren Farm Office Village successfully combines a vibrant and readily accessible business community with tranquil and peaceful surroundings close to the centre of Milton Keynes.
