The centrepiece to the design-led property is a living wall that stands at 60sq metres, giving customers a glimpse of Jaguar Land Rover's commitment to its 'Destination Zero' strategy for a cleaner, safer and sustainable future. The building has been designed and built to create an ultra-efficient environment; excellent insulation, wastewater recycling and extensive EV charging points are key features.
