When Zeal Hotels were looking to create a new brand of sustainable hotel at Exeter’s Science Park, they turned to Westworks Interiors for their design expertise. Looking for building materials and finishes that would promote sustainability at every turn, Westworks Interiors specified a wide range of Forbo Flooring Systems’ floor coverings, including its Climate Positive (carbon negative) Marmoleum Cocoa Decibel.
Conveniently situated at the entrance of Exeter Science Park, the South West’s centre of activity for businesses in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM), voco Zeal Exeter Science Park is a premium, 142 bedroom, 4-star hotel that offers an exceptional stay for the environmentally conscious traveller. In alignment with 2050 sustainability targets, the hotel leverages cutting-edge solar panel technology, ensuring it generates more electricity than it consumes. As well as meeting net zero principles, it’s the hope of Zeal Hotels that this site forms a blueprint for the leisure and hospitality industry for how sustainable hotels can be achieved.
Ruth Wainwright, Director and Interior Designer at Westworks Interiors was involved on the hotel’s interior design scheme. Speaking about the project, she said: “This hotel has been the brainchild of the Zeal Hotels team for a while now. Both Zeal Hotels and their partner brand IHG Hotels & Resorts set a requirement to achieve net zero with this hotel. Working with architects ECE Westworks, we collaborated from the outset to execute this vision.
