Sovereign House

Lichen Studio developed a landscape strategy in collaboration with Spratley & Partners for Sovereign House, a commercial office development located to the North of Reading town centre.

Located between Reading station and the River Thames, the design proposals include a complete internal fit-out and enhancement to the external appearance of the existing building. A new entrance space facilitates accessible access into the building, while greening the frontage and street scene of Vastern Road.

A proposed roof terrace at third floor level will provide external amenity spaces for users of the building. The health and well-being is a key driver for the design, providing access to nature within the urban workplace. Ornamental planting and green walls will enhance local biodiversity and provide a pleasant the building occupants.
