X2 is a two-storey industrial and warehouse facility with ancillary office space at Heathrow Airport.
Each level has its own service yard, with access to the upper level provided via two one-way ramps.
Cornish Architects acted as project architects for the detailed design and construction stages, following earlier concept research and development studies.
Walker Logistics is a family-owned UK and European logistics provider based in Berkshire. The project responds to the growth of existing and new clients, delivering a new 135,000 sqft warehouse with ancillary office space and an aircraft museum, alongside access, servicing, parking and landscaping.
The design responds to both operational requirements and site constraints. A key consideration was accommodating the movement and occasional display of a Dakota aircraft within the museum, which informed the layout and servicing strategy.
Wrap-around offices are positioned along the southern elevation. Ribbon windows establish a regular façade rhythm and allow flexible internal layouts, while external brise soleil reduce solar gain.
A fully glazed corner marks the main entrance, framed by an overhanging canopy that provides shelter and defines the arrival point. This approach continues at the museum entrance to the north.

A new hotel and café within a regeneration area, forming part of a wider retail park.
The hotel provides 60 bedrooms, including three accessible rooms. The site includes dedicated parking and servicing facilities.
A varied palette of cladding creates a consistent rhythm across the façade.
A mixed-use scheme including a children’s day nursery (464 sqm with outdoor space), a gym (929 sqm), a 100-room hotel, office and meeting space, and a restaurant and pub at ground floor.
The development improves the approach from the nearby tube station and responds to surrounding building scale and context.
The project forms part of an urban intensification study exploring additional residential uses and expanded commercial and community facilities.
The refurbishment and conversion of an existing public house within the South Hampstead Conservation Area provides two self-contained office suites at first-floor level and six flats across the second and third floors.
The scheme retains and refurbishes the public house and ancillary accommodation at ground and lower ground floor levels.
The flats achieve a BREEAM “Very Good” rating.
A proposal forming part of the wider regeneration of a former gas works and lorry park site.
The mixed-use development provides a 68-room hotel, a family pub and restaurant, and a retail unit.
The design responds to a range of site constraints, including existing gas infrastructure and the setting of a nearby Grade I listed structure.
The layout responds to the surrounding street scale and uses infill plots to complete the block.
The project forms part of a wider mixed-use redevelopment in a sensitive Central London location, including new retail space and residential units alongside a rebuilt cash and carry unit.
The offices use natural ventilation, with heating and cooling provided by air source heat pumps integrated with heat recovery from an existing IT centre.
The interior includes reception, office and staff facilities, which connect to a landscaped external amenity area.
