AHR应对了城市中心地带受到限制和倾斜的挑战，创建了两条新的步行街和一组相互锁住的建筑物。这使50%以上的土地被移交给新的公共领域，并更好地将发展纳入现有的城市粮食。仔细定位的建筑物和创新的声卢浮宫窗口系统，使整个自然通风充分使用，尽管位置在一个繁忙的市中心。

AHR responded to the challenge of the constrained and sloping town centre site creating two new pedestrian streets and a cluster of inter-locking buildings. This allowed over 50% of the site to be given over to new public realm and better integrated the development into the existing urban grain. Careful orientation of the buildings and an innovative acoustic louvre window system allowed full natural ventilation to be used throughout, despite the location within a busy town centre.

AHR在大量内部研究的基础上，与环境工程师马克斯·福德姆(Max Fordham)密切合作，为该项目制定了一项开拓性的环境战略：它是英国首个实施BSRIA软着陆的公司，其目标是一个堪称典范的DEC A评级，预计在使用两年之后，该公司将在2017年达到这一目标。这一评级将确认凯恩斯公民中心是英国能耗最低的公共建筑之一。这些办事处已经取得了杰出的EPC A评级，该项目几乎是碳中性的。

AHR has built on extensive in-house research and worked closely with Environmental Engineer Max Fordham to develop a pioneering environmental strategy for the project: it is the first in the UK to implement BSRIA Soft Landings to target an exemplary DEC A rating, which it is expected to achieve in 2017 once it has been in use for two years. This rating will confirm Keynsham Civic Centre as one of the lowest energy consuming public buildings in the UK. The offices have already achieved an outstanding EPC A rating and the project is almost carbon neutral.

建筑设计的各个方面都被认为能提供最佳的环境性能，首先是建筑物的方向和形式，从而降低了对机械通风和照明的要求。一种创新的木材(CLT)、钢和混凝土结构不仅创造了明亮和舒适的内部结构，而且还减少了供暖要求和施工时间。

Every aspect of the design of the building was considered to provide optimal environmental performance, starting with the building’s orientation and form which reduced the requirements for mechanical ventilation and lighting. An innovative timber (CLT), steel and concrete structure not only created bright and welcoming interiors but also reduced heating requirements and construction time.

该项目的主要目标之一是促进工作场所的转变，使理事会能够采取一种更灵活的工作方式，这也将改善各小组和部门之间的沟通、协作和效率。AHR对此作出了回应，在一个中央中庭周围布置了四个机翼，其中包含了一个大的突破区域，两个触地甲板。中庭是建筑的心脏，当用户在建筑中移动时，它创造了视觉连接和自发会议的机会。

One of the key objectives for the project was to facilitate a workplace transformation, allowing the Council to adopt a more flexible way of working which would also improve communication, collaboration and efficiency across teams and departments. AHR responded to this by arranging four wings around a central atrium which incorporates a large breakout area two touchdown decks. The atrium is the heart of the building, creating visual connectedness and opportunities for spontaneous meetings as users move across the building.
