Conventional engineering data is perhaps the most obvious, but we also include data like staffing levels, containment requirements, power consumption, or even the level of design uncertainty.
The project adopted a holistic approach to sustainability with a wide range of design for wellbeing strategies, summarised below:.Better daylight levels are achieved with healthy architecture principles.
• The façades feature full height windows to enhance daylight quality.. • A strategically articulated layout improves privacy at the same time as promoting open views out..Better air quality is facilitated via a variety of design for wellness strategies.• The use of a fully electric heating system helps reduce local pollution.. • Openable windows and the isolated nature of the development (reduced pollution and noise) enable effective natural ventilation.. • Air quality is further improved via existing and new vegetation, green and brown roofs.. • Pedestrianised common areas, traffic restrictions and the parking hidden in the undercroft level reduce local vehicle pollution..
Better connection to nature and outdoors is prioritised with biophilic design.• Retaining existing species and the arrangement of buildings around trees enhance connection to nature.. • All apartments have a private outdoor space in the form of exterior decks and balconies.. • The design takes advantage of the site’s natural slope to give direct access to all flats, without the need for a lift (healthy lifestyle).. Wellbeing and office buildings.
Before the pandemic, the commercial market in the UK experienced a growing interest in sustainability with intense competition to build best-in-class developments in terms of sustainability, energy efficiency and design for wellbeing credentials.. Bryden Wood is the lead designer of The Forge, an office building in central London, which has been designed to the highest sustainable design and wellbeing standards.
The project aims to become Net Zero Carbon in line with the UKGBC Framework definition to Net Zero, achieve BREEAM Excellent and WELL Gold.It could be it lacks definition, keeps changing, contains unknown elements or assumptions, or is poorly set up and kept.
A successful lab must be designed with heavy involvement from the client and user team to remove all doubts and uncertainties.Therefore, we allow for many meetings, and keep detailed notes.
We make sure that the processes are understood by the entire team so the functional spaces can be determined to enable flow and adjacency diagrams to be created.And we keep this visual representation of the lab through to service requirement drawings and zoning diagrams..
