Throws Farm, Essex

The agronomy centre for client Agrii was developed on the former Throws Farm site in Essex. Having completed the client’s HQ makeover the practice was invited to masterplan and design the extended facilities including: laboratories, grain storage, greenhouses, technical & machine building, offices, training and conference centre, catering and other peripheral facilities set amongst experimental crop fields.

The 1080m2 training and conference building includes a 200 seat auditorium, a large meeting room, offices and kitchen areas. The technical building accommodates various sophisticated machinery used in production and packaging of agricultural seeds.

The practice was involved from inception through to completion, providing concept designs through to contract administration and final account settlement services.
