The Project
Standing immediately beside Barnwell House, iconic Aerospace Building Pegasus House has also officially opened following restoration and renovation works. Originally the headquarters of the Bristol Aerospace Company, Pegasus House is a Grade II listed art-deco building built in 1936 which is now at the heart of the new Airbus Aerospace Park. Several heritage features have been retained including a historic four storey stained glass window that chronologically illustrates the evolution of the Bristol Aeroplane Company’s planes, referencing Greek mythology & folklore.
Building Control
The design brief required that Pegasus House not only to be restored to its former glory, but also become viable in terms of business requirements as befits the modern aerospace industry. Oculus provided expert advice on the application of BS 9999:2008 “Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings” in order to meet the clients aspirations and ensure this was achieved in this historically significant building.
