A new ecologically sensitive Asda Superstore at Shaw near Oldham has been completed, with Darnton Elgee acting as architects on behalf of design and build contractor Bowmer & Kirkland.
Incorporating a timber frame, the store is built on the site of Shaw mill, using bricks and timber from the original building. The 35,000 sq ft store also includes a natural ventilation system, via ‘saw tooth’ north lights, reducing energy consumption.
The store is the second superstore that Darnton Elgee have completed in conjunction with Bowmer & Kirkland, the first being the new superstore at Rushden, Northamptonshire.
