House of Fraser has opened its first sustainable store at the Rushden Lakes shopping and leisure complex in Northamptonshire. The 64,000 sq ft store is the first House of Fraser in an out-of-town retail development. It is also its first green retail store certified to the BREEAM sustainable building standard. The architecture and store interior have been designed to connect with the beautiful natural setting of Rushden Lakes. Features include a 6m x 8m living wall that is home to more than 2,000 plants, an art installation made entirely of recycled wire and featuring local bird species.
