Coming in 2025

Hemisphere gets its name from the two sides of the human brain; where the right hand cerebrum is creative and imaginative and the left academic and logical.

Hemisphere will embody these characteristics and each side has been designed to have its own personality, look and feel, with features that differentiate one side from the other.

Alongside the 120,000 sq ft of flexible Grade A office space, Hemisphere will include an array of collaborative spaces, a wellness studio, innovation lab, cafe and extensive new areas of high-quality public realm.

The new build has also been designed to be operational net-zero, Platinum WELL, BREEAM Excellent, EPC Rated A, WiredScore Certified and targets a NABERS 5.5* rating, making it one of the first new builds in the UK designed to achieve these six global sustainability credentials.
