Estilo Interiors has been appointed as the main contractor for EMBARQ Bristol, a landmark office redevelopment by Skelton Group Investments. This transformative project aims to set new benchmarks for workspace provision and sustainability in the city, delivering a high-quality office environment in the heart of Bristol.
Located at Redcliff Quay, EMBARQ is a 100,000 sq ft office building overlooking the Floating Harbour, with panoramic views of Bristol Bridge, King Street, and Castle Park. Designed by renowned Bristol-based architects AWW in collaboration with building services consultants Method, the redevelopment retains key elements of the original structure, saving approximately 1,440 tonnes of CO2e in embodied carbon compared to a new build.
Andrew Moore, Founder & Managing Director of Estilo Interiors, commented: “We are thrilled to be appointed as the main contractor for EMBARQ Bristol, a project that embodies our commitment to delivering exceptional, sustainable workspaces. This scheme reflects the future of office environments—spaces that prioritise both employee wellbeing and environmental responsibility. Working closely with Skelton Group Investments and the other project partners, we look forward to bringing this vision to life and creating a building that meets the evolving needs of modern businesses.”
Estilo Interiors will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive fit-out that enhances the building’s environmental performance, incorporating cutting-edge energy-efficient systems. EMBARQ will be powered entirely by responsibly sourced green electricity and feature thermally efficient windows, VRF air conditioning, CO2-controlled ventilation with heat recovery, and LED lighting. These enhancements will reduce operational carbon emissions by 65%, equating to 140 tonnes of CO2 per year.
The project is targeting an EPC rating of A, BREEAM Excellent certification, and a NABERS 4* operational rating, ensuring it meets the highest sustainability standards.
Simon Keefe, Director of Skelton Group Investments, added: “Since acquiring Redcliff Quay in April last year, we have been busy developing the design and specification for this exciting project to create high-quality office space with a focus on environmental performance, in the heart of Bristol city centre on the Floating Harbour. The building has excellent fundamentals for success. With the support of our project team and contractor Estilo Interiors, we look forward to delivering exceptional office space for Bristol office occupiers who are making the flight to quality. Our leasing agents JLL and Knight Frank are already reporting early interest, which is encouraging.”
With the support of project managers and cost consultants Quantem, Estilo Interiors will deliver the scheme within the next 13 months. Once complete, EMBARQ will offer between 3,000 and 60,000 sq ft of open-plan workspace, alongside premium amenities, a full-height internal atrium, public realm areas, and best-in-class end-of-journey facilities, with JLL and Knight Frank acting as agents on behalf of the developer.
