Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Centre
Encon Associates were commissioned by Kagyu Samye Dzong London, Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Centre for World Peace and Health, which is part of Rokpa Trust registered charity.

The proposed scheme to re-develop a Grade II listed former library building in the heart of London, was to create a building which provided public spaces for the wider community, for courses such as meditation, tai chi and yoga, as well as ancillary residential accommodation for the Buddhist community.
This complex scheme required a Bespoke BREEAM Assessment to determine what approach was required to ensure the building was converted with the highest regard for sustainability and the environment, which is at the core of the Trust’s philosophy.

In my capacity of a new homes developer ‘Fenwood Estates Limited’ I have been working with Encon for over 10 years now. For every new site Encon have designed a full landscape scheme ticking all of the relevant planning boxes, in previous times they supported Fenwood with the roll out of the Code for Sustainable Homes across our sites and in more recent times with the Ecology and Bio Net Gain elements that we require, they have conducted surveys, reports and calculations to support all of our planning applications. The team are amazing, easy to talk to, quick to react when required and cost effective to say the least. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Encon Associates to anyone in the industry, they certainly give a 5 star service as a minimal!
