Winvic was appointed by Frontier Estates to deliver Victoria House, a landmark five-storey, 45,000 sq ft Grade A office development on Avebury Boulevard in the heart of Milton Keynes. Overlooking Grafton Park, the scheme provides high-quality commercial space alongside a ground floor café/restaurant, helping to enhance the city’s business offering and public realm.
Designed by Broadway Malyan, the building reflects Milton Keynes’ modern architectural character through a simple yet striking façade of brick and concrete, with deep recessed windows that improve solar shading and reduce heat gain. Sustainability was embedded throughout the design, enabling the development to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.
Completed over a 54-week programme, Victoria House also features a rooftop terrace overlooking Avebury Boulevard, a covered colonnade, landscaped pedestrian routes linking directly to Grafton Park and 49 on-site car parking spaces. The office was developed as the new Milton Keynes headquarters for business advisory firm Grant Thornton, creating a high-quality workspace within one of the city’s key commercial locations.
As a building with BREEAM Excellent aspirations we put sustainability at the heart of the design process, so the façade, with its deep reveals, is aimed at helping to shade the floorplates and minimise the internal heat gains in the building.
