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.
GSK Front End Factory
The Front End Factory is a collaboration between Bryden Wood and GSK established in 2013 – applied to over 200 projects globally, and the initiative through which Bryden Wood developed Design to Value and Chip Thinking.
British Airways Flight Training Centre
Bryden Wood transformed the central hall of the heritage-listed East Hangar at Heathrow Airport into the BA Flight Training Centre – 17 simulators, including A380 and B787, delivered within a listed structure that had been unused for several years.
