Millennium Mills

London, UK

Millennium Mills is an iconic industrial former flour mill that sits proudly as the centrepiece of the Royal Docks. The Mills are now due to be fully restored as part of The Silvertown Development.

This redevelopment, proposed by The Silvertown Partnership, will create over 6,000 new homes, nearly two million square feet of next-generation workspace, and a new venue for cultural and community events.

Millennium Mills was originally built in 1905 but suffered extensive damage during World War One. It was rebuilt in 1933 and 1954 by Spillers and served London until 1981, when it fell derelict due to the decline of the shipping trade. The Millennium Mills refurbishment presents a full circular economy story that conserves the life of existing built fabric by ensuring longevity, adaptability, and reusability as part of a new chapter.

The proposal plans to retain and refurbish the original mill building, adapting the industrial space to create 225,000ft虏 of flexible workspace. The facade will be sensitively preserved and celebrated by retaining the iconic Millennium Mills and Spillers signage. The internal load-bearing structure and foundations will be retained, as well as the original mill equipment, which will be repurposed and put back into the building as a key feature to highlight its industrial past.

海角视频 is providing sustainability consulting (including: BREEAM, WELL, Whole Life Carbon and Circular Economy) on this forward looking project.

New interior additions will be minimised, promoting material efficiency and circular economy. The 海角视频 team’s focus has been on high-quality materials that support longer life and adaptability of the building, as well as the wellbeing and modern lifestyle of occupants.

Embodied carbon is an essential part of the regeneration of The Mills, and the circular approach works to reduce carbon through the whole lifecycle of the building. The Silvertown development, including Millennium Mills, has a zero-carbon district heating system. Our experts have undertaken extensive studies to investigate the best solutions for facade retention, floor infills, and construction of the extension.

The redevelopment is on track to achieve BREEAM Excellent with an ambition to achieve Outstanding, with the offices targeting an EPC A and NABERS 5. Well Gold measures are being implemented into the design including a series of wellbeing features through the Well standard. These include low VOC and healthy materials for improved air quality, toilets equipped with hands-free flushing and soap dispensers, and plans to incorporate nature into the design.
