The Forge
The Forge is the UK's first net-zero carbon commercial building and the first major project delivered using Bryden Wood's P-DfMA methodology – proving that reduced carbon, lower cost, and faster programme are not a trade-off.
New Hospitals Programme
Bryden Wood developed Hospital 2.0 – a standard model for 40 new hospitals across the UK – for NHS England's New Hospitals Programme. Built on Modern Methods of Construction, the model delivers up to 25% cost reduction and 20% programme reduction against traditional approaches, as estimated by the National Audit Office.
St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub
Bryden Wood designed and engineered St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub in Havering – the first example of a new model of integrated NHS care, bringing eight services together under one roof to reduce hospital admissions and improve outcomes for patients.
igus Phase 8
Bryden Wood has been designing the igus campus in Cologne since the 1990s – Phase 8 is the eighth addition, delivering 20,000 m² of column-free manufacturing space with 136 GRP roofdomes and a rooftop photovoltaic array, completed in 2025.
Circle Birmingham Hospital
Bryden Wood designed and engineered Circle Birmingham Hospital – an award-winning facility in Edgbaston that achieved a 30% cost saving per sqm against the NHS Midlands benchmark, without compromising on clinical quality or patient experience.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Churchwood Gardens
A south London site hidden behind Victorian terraces, with a history of failed planning applications. Bryden Wood designed nine cedar-clad pavilions around a central garden for Loromah Estates — and every one of the 71 homes was let within two weeks of completion.
Elizabeth Line Station Cladding
Bryden Wood designed the tunnel cladding system for Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street stations on the Elizabeth Line – 23,000 GFRC panels installed using an entirely digital, zero-tolerance workflow, contributing to the project winning the 2024 Stirling Prize.
Circle Hospital Reading
Bryden Wood worked with Circle Health to design a new elective surgery hospital in Reading – and in doing so developed the 'HP Way', a proprietary framework for delivering efficient, low-carbon private hospital facilities through Design for Manufacture and Assembly.
Beach Shack
A 975 m² private residence on the Florida coast – designed around the client's industrial background, with a hydraulic staircase, a precast concrete double-skin western façade, and deep eastern cantilevers reaching towards the ocean. AIA Jacksonville Award of Excellence, 2019.
Great Western Studios
Bryden Wood transformed a former paint factory wedged between the Grand Union Canal and the Westway into Great Western Studios – 104 studios across five storeys for west London's creative industries, delivered in two phases over ten years while the building remained fully operational throughout.
Prison Estate Transformation Programme
Bryden Wood was appointed by the Ministry of Justice to support one of the most ambitious prison programmes in centuries – replacing Victorian-era facilities with rehabilitation-focused environments, using a Platform system that has since been adopted across the national prison estate and embedded in the UK Government's Construction Playbook.
London Heathrow & Gatwick Pier Segregation
Bryden Wood delivered over 1.5km of pier segregated corridor across four projects at Heathrow and Gatwick — a factory-assembled modular system that saved £15.5 million against traditional construction and was rated by BAA as better-performing on health, safety, and build quality than any comparable capital project.
London Heathrow T5 Nodes
Bryden Wood designed twelve modular passenger nodes for Heathrow Terminal 5C — each approximately 17m x 10m x 10m, manufactured off-site and assembled on a live airfield within a 2-week stand closure. The traditional construction programme would have required 16 weeks.
igus Headquarters
Bryden Wood has been designing the igus campus in Cologne since the 1990s – a 36,000 m² manufacturing facility across seven phases, built on a suspended roof structure and a bespoke component system designed for perpetual change, with Phase 8 completed in 2025.
