Brightbow Workspace is a co-working space that is owned, part-occupied and run by 310 Studio Architects in Bedminster, Bristol.

The new rear studio (this submission) is phase 2 of 3 of a development plan for the workspace that has been carefully developed by the practice and undertaken in a way the practice can manage and programme alongside its commercial undertakings.

The design is a vehicle for exploration of ideas around performance, materials and lighting that are sometimes harder to realise in commercial practice.
The building is almost entirely recyclable, features no plasterboard or membranes within its walls, and is of timber frame construction. The ground floor insulation is cork, the walls are wood fibre, the external cladding is ceramic tile on econic board, solar panels on the south-facing roof power the underfloor heating and an MVHR ensures fresh air circulation throughout.
