Designing for people, planet and performance 鈥�
in the commercial sector
Helping clients across Europe with healthy and sustainable workplace design
To create better places for people and planet, we design or re-design buildings that minimise the impact on our natural resources, perform well with regards to their CO2 footprint, operational cost and their influence on peoples鈥� comfort, wellbeing and productivity.鈥�
We work with our clients on projects ranging from sustainable new build offices with a reduced carbon footprint, high rise buildings with energy efficient MEP through to retro-fitting offices for leading tech firms, allowing them to attract the best talent.鈥�
A number of common drivers and challenges connect these projects, whether they are in Rotterdam or Berlin, Warsaw or Copenhagen. Read more about the key themes where we are helping our clients to achieve commercial assets that are performing well for users, tenants and the needs of our planet鈥�.
Sustainability and embodied carbon
Assessing embodied and whole-life cycle carbon of existing and new buildings, developing decarbonisation strategies, designing for re-use, applying sustainability strategies from phase 0 to post occupancy, assessing buildings according to LEED and DGNB.鈥�
Operational performance
Modernising and improving operational performance – including ventilation, heating, cooling, lighting and facade – to reduce running costs, reduce operational carbon emissions, enhance occupant health, wellbeing and productivity and improve asset value.
Health and wellbeing
Providing a safe, comfortable and positive physical space to boost productivity of employees, meeting modern wellbeing and accessibility standards to attract best talent, assessing buildings according to WELL certification standards.鈥�
Covid response and resilience
Ensuring health, safety and wellbeing of users, data-based special organisation to facilitate safe movement and social distancing, assessing HVAC equipment, indoor air quality monitoring, risk modelling to prevent secondary transmission.
People movement
Measuring and planning people movement to assess or resolve congestion issues, maximise operational efficiency, ensure social distancing or create vibrant spaces and enhance visitor experience.
Climate responsive envelope design
Shaping a holistic envelope design with expert knowledge in lighting, fa莽ade and sustainability and physics, working with the natural elements to realise energy efficient design.鈥�
Workplace design
Designing and refurbishing workspaces that drive health, wellbeing and productivity and energy efficiency; enabling spatial and MEP systems flexibility to accommodate future working practices.
Smart building
Creating a 21st century space and user experience with digitally connected people, systems and buildings, improving information sharing, community engagement with lower energy consumption and carbon impact.
BIM
Integrated, coordinated and data-driven design to spot challenges earlier and reduce risk, increased control, visibility and efficiency. Linking models to facility management.
