One Station Hill wins BCO National Award 2025

20 October 2025

Situated in a prime location across from Reading Station, One Station Hill has been awarded the BCO National Award 2025 for Best Commercial Workplace.

Forming part of the £850m masterplan to revitalise the area, the 19-storey office development has been designed to meet the evolving needs of the modern workforce and attract top talent such as PwC and PepsiCo.

Eckersley O’Callaghan provided facade engineering services on the project, with the judges noting how the building’s facade has been designed to maximise natural light, with a double-height reception area featuring lounge seating, touchdown tables and flexible event spaces. The office facade design for the office floors is based on a factory assembled, bespoke aluminium unitised curtain wall with external aluminium fins to the East and West elevations.

In addition, the project has been commended for its sustainable design as it has achieved Active Score Platinum, Well Platinum, AirRated, BREEAM Outstanding, EPC A and provides an all-electric design with net zero whole lifecycle carbon. During the RIBA Stage design period, we addressed several key design issues to ensure the project’s buildability as well as its compliance with both the architectural and technical performance requirements.

The judges concluded that One Station Hill is a landmark development that redefines urban living and working in Reading and is playing a key role in regenerating the area.
