Estates Building – Kelling Heath

Set amongst 300 acres of mature woodland and rare open heathland in an area of outstanding natural beauty and perfectly positioned close to the stunning North Norfolk coastline at Weybourne, the park is renowned for its ecological and natural environmental credentials.

Recognising the significant role the back-of-house operations play in delivering quality services, staff were asked what would aid them best in delivering an Estates building for our Housekeeping, Maintenance and Countryside teams. This included a new Staff Welfare Hub, offices and a purpose-built staff training room, dedicated housekeeping store, maintenance store and enhancements to the maintenance yard. Reducing the impact on its surroundings is something the entire Kelling Heath team is committed to, carbon reduction measures such as the installation of electric vehicle storage and charging stations and solar panels for renewable energy have also been integrated into the design.

By optimising back-of-house and providing a centralised and cohesive operations the aim is to futureproof the park in line with the clients strategic plan and long-term aspirations. This project is informed by a design approach that favours retaining the qualities, character, and charm of the much-loved landscape, reducing operational carbon and aligning this to the Company’s sound environmental credentials.
