This new headquarters for the Woodland Trust, in Grantham, Lincolnshire will house a staff base of 200 people. The project aim is to create a highly innovative and sustainable building within a market rate budget, and to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.

The client is seeking an inspirational place to work which will demonstrate an innovative response to the current and future operational needs of the organisation. They hope the building will strengthen the Woodland Trust core cultural values, reflecting the energy and vitality of the charity, conveying an impression of an organisation that is "recognised as the leading voluntary sector organisation devoted to the conservation of the UK’s woodland”.

The design team, excluding Ridge, has worked together previously on the Greenpeace HQ, the National Trust's New Central Office and Runnymede Civic Offices.
