This major £4m expansion for health and beauty product manufacturer Neal’s Yard Remedies included the extension to its production, warehouse and office facilities as well as adding a new retail outlet at its UK headquarters in Gillingham, Dorset.

Conceived as a strong design feature at the entrance to the site, this new single storey extension was constructed comprising a rectangular shaped 700 sq ft retail outlet, together with 1,560 sq ft of attached new offices located within three interlocking hexagonal buildings inspired by the honeycomb pattern used on the Neal’s Yard Remedies ‘Bee Lovely’ product range.

The extension, which is timber framed with exposed glulam beams, is clad mostly in timber and also features a scented ‘living’ wall.
