We have led the interface detailing between the different façade packages and have carried out all the façade performance engineering and detailing, including: structural, thermal and condensation risk, waterproofing, air tightness, fire and acoustics.. We work with:.
They might be a pharmaceutical company trying to meet demand for their products in an emerging market; a hospital provider that aims to distinguish itself by providing an efficient and hotel-like experience to patients; or the government transforming the prison estate so that it is more rehabilitative.These may sound like very different clients with very different problems, but what we have found is that their challenges are very similar: they all need a solution to a problem that is difficult to articulate because a lot of people are involved, with different values and different perspectives..
The solution is beyond the competence of any single individual designer.It requires knowledge and expertise from a wide range of stakeholders.Important decisions must be based on evidence, and we have to build a shared understanding of the problem and an agreement on the best solution throughout the process.
Then at the end of the process, we produce a detailed but understandable account explaining why the proposed solution is the best.To do this with maximum effect we adopt an integrated design approach and use the latest digital construction technologies..
It is the fundamental similarity between complex projects that led us to develop a method that is at once systematic, probing and analytical, and open and engaging in a way that both stimulates and supports a team’s creativity.. We realised that reaching the most efficient version of the most effective solution to their problem in an iterative and collaborative way, is what would truly deliver value to our clients.
As design becomes an increasingly automated activity, our role has been to develop a robust framework that focuses on organising the creative steps in the overall design process that are not easy to automate.Addressing the urgent global demand for sustainable design, Jaimie outlines strategies to minimise embodied and operational carbon.
He delves into the move toward clean energy solutions, including advanced nuclear and hydrogen, while driving industrialised processes to maximise efficiency and reduce waste.. Intersectoral connectivity and innovation.Jaimie examines how data centre needs intersect with other sectors like pharmaceuticals and life sciences, with advances in AI and energy interdependence enabling more sophisticated, data-driven developments across industries.. Standardised, Repeatable Reference Design for Speed and Consistency.
Emphasising the shift toward a. reference design approach., Jaimie showcases how data centres are adopting 'kits of parts,' allowing clients to scale quickly while adapting to site-specific needs.
