Echo House

Echo house is a new office building for the Echo News local newspaper in Basildon, Essex.

The company downsized to this new building as the paper is primarily digital and large print halls are no longer needed. The new building is smaller and compact. Using the stairwell as a welcoming entrance the two-storey structure will contain reception and office space on the ground floor with a similar layout on the second floor. The office is designed to provide ample natural light and a comfortable working environment including breakout spaces, kitchens and meeting areas while incorporating natural materials and planting. The brick exterior with aluminium framed windows and panels are carefully organised to provide a regular and well-proportioned facade.
