A one million pound headquarters building for the Burnt Tree vehicle hire company at the Battlefield Business Park, Shrewsbury.

As the first building on the new business park, the Burnt Tree Headquarters occupies a 'gateway' site, adjacent to a new roundabout. The long barrel roof form is dramatically terminated by a forty-five degree cut, which addresses the roundabout. The roof oversails until it terminates in a point.

New office accommodation is located behind a glazed facade at the 'sliced' end of the building. Offices, meeting rooms, the board room and a canteen are all grouped around a triangular atrium space that rises through two floors.

At the rear of the building is a large fully equipped workshop and spray shop, used for on site maintenance of the vehicle fleet.

A triangular reception space forms the public entrance to the new headquarters building for the Burnt Tree vehicle hire company at the Battlefield Business Park, Shrewsbury.

At ground floor and first floor the space is overlooked by offices and meeting rooms. The triangular reception allows light to be brought deep into the office plan, creating an open, stimulating workspace.

The curved reception desk is in crown cut ash, stainless steel and colour coated aluminium. The floor is in a high quality ceramic tile, the staircase is finished with stainless steel handrails and colour coated metalwork
