    Tesco Low Carbon Concept Store
    Harrogate

    Project Overview

    Project: Low Carbon Concept Store
    Client: Tesco
    Size: 40,000 sq ft
    Status: Completed

    The 40,000 sqft Tesco Harrogate store sets a new benchmark for low carbon retail in Yorkshire, delivering a flagship concept store on a former gasworks site. The scheme incorporates a petrol filling station, EV charging, and extensive landscaping, alongside strong community initiatives including food redistribution, local partnerships and a community garden.

    Designed as Tesco’s low carbon concept, the store embeds circular economy principles throughout. Over 500 tonnes of demolition material were reused on site, while a glulam timber structure significantly reduces upfront carbon compared to steel. Reclaimed stone, UK-grown timber and low carbon materials further minimise environmental impact, supported by offsite construction and efficient delivery.

    S+SA Architects led the project from early design through to completion, working closely with contractor KPS to deliver a highly sustainable, commercially viable superstore that sets a replicable model for future retail development.

    "Working with SSA is always simple and effective. Their approach is knowledgeable, direct, and timely, allowing for a seamless flow in meeting set deadlines and requirements. We’ve collaborated with SSA Architects on a multitude of retail projects, both large and small format. Communication and delivery have consistently been excellent. I primarily work with Callum, known as “the oracle” by myself and Project Managers on the client side. His unparalleled understanding of client specifications and his off-the-cuff, concise knowledge of every project he’s involved in are genuinely impressive. The service is always professional—and always with a smile. I would highly recommend working with SSA across our industry for their cohesive approach, quick solutions, and outstanding professionalism."
