Earl of Plymouth Estates

A J Taylor Ltd recently commissioned a new 2-storey office building for E G Carter & Co td in Ludlow Estates to house the staff managing the large & diverse activities of the Earl of Plymouth Estates holdings.

The building has been designed to provide minimalistic accommodation, with no suspended ceilings & large areas of glazing to maximise the usage of natural light.

The exposed vaulted ceilings has meant all services are on view, hence a lot of care was necessary in both design & installation to ensure the finished building had a functional but high quality appearance.

Energy efficient LED lighting provides a bright, modern look, with automated controls to ensure a reduced carbon footprint. The lighting controls use wireless technology to allow for room controls to be mounted onto glazed partitions and includes daylight linking and absence detection for reduced energy usage.

Other services include perimeter security systems comprising access control, intruder alarm & CCTV, facilities for the disabled such as audio enhancement systems, automated doors and alarms to toilets. There is also an automatic fire detection & alarm system throughout the building

Externally, lighting in accordance with the relevant codes for safe access has been provided, with due consideration to minimise light pollution and undue disturbance to local wildlife. The site includes a landscaped carpark complete with an electric vehicle charging point.
