Jaguar Land Rover Advanced Product Creation Centre

The Brief

To create one of the foremost Advanced Product Creation Centres in the world, with the largest engineered timber roof in the UK, reflecting the design quality and company values associated with one of Britain's most iconic automotive businesses.

Jaguar Land Rover's sustainability and wellbeing strategy shaped the building philosophy for the new design and engineering centre, together with the desire to create a defining roof structure from innovative timber technology. Speed and ease of construction were the driving forces behind this project, without compromising the quality of design and materials.

This development is integral to Jaguar Land Rover's wider expansion programme at the Banbury Road site in Warwickshire. Facilities include new design and engineering studios, state-of-the-art offices, a restaurant and a multipurpose hall, amongst other amenities. A new internal thoroughfare connects all areas, creating a sense of community and maximising the potential for interaction.

The Results

This award-winning roof structure with outstanding green credentials, achieved two prestigious Structural Timber Awards for Commercial Project of the Year and Solid Wood Project of the Year. Delivered in close collaboration with our construction partners, B&K Structures designed, engineered and installed one of Europe's largest engineered timber roofs to bring together a diverse range of spaces and facilities for Jaguar Land Rover.
