RIBJ: lower-carbon concrete at the Royal Observatory Greenwich
12th Nov 2025

The RIBA Journal has featured our sustainability-focused work at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, highlighting our collaboration with structural engineers Price & Myers to create a new multi-functional space built in lower-carbon concrete.

The new Astronomers’ Court balances sustainability, functionality and beauty. We are exploring the use of calcined clay in our concrete mixes and using structural geometry to drive efficiency, as well as to create a striking and welcoming public space. The RIBJ says, “the decision to embrace experimentation on such a prestigious and historic project is admirable. The approach feels apt for a site founded on invention and discovery.”
