British Council for Offices - National Awards Winner - Fit-Out of Workplace
A four-storey, 8,000m2 headquarters, Building 5 accommodates 700 staff. Facilities include cellular and open-plan offices, a large central atrium, a 250-seat restaurant, kitchen, coffee shop, underground car park and gymnasium/health club.
To promote a positive environmental impact, sustainable and efficiency measures were central to the design. External east-, south- and west-facing brise soleil was incorporated and glazing performance and percentage optimised to provide high levels of daylight while controlling solar gain. Good insulation/ U values ensured comprehensive control of fabric gains and losses. Efficiency was achieved through heat recovery and high efficiency condensing boilers.
