directed through the atrium and past accesscontrolled turnstiles to a single vertical circulation core . On each floor plate , the more public meeting facilities are located around this core to further encourage interaction as well as to create a logical progression from public to private areas .
Each floor plate wraps around the multi-volume atrium with the main circulation arranged in a ‘ race track ’ along the atrium edge . This allows for maximum flexibility of spaces and futureproofs the building for countless possibilities in adaptable planning and subdivision . It means that departments can rearrange themselves as they please , while still allowing logical and efficient operations .
To facilitate ease of movement two bridges were designed to span 20m each across the atrium . These bridges hang from 2m deep beams on the roof which allows the ground floor of the atrium to be column-free .
The general workspaces are mostly located on the sharp corners of the building . These spaces
are significantly quieter and more private and enjoy far-reaching views in all directions .
Green Building The building has applied to achieve a Silver LEED ( Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ) rating . At least 20 % of building materials needed to contain post- and / or pre-consumer recycled content and 75 % of construction waste has been reused / recycled . Enhanced ventilation , views and use of low-emitting materials ensure occupant well-being .
Environmentally friendly features include double-glazed windows throughout ; a smart , automated blind system which links to the building management system ; a 300kVA solar photovoltaic panel installation on the roof of the building ; and a sophisticated water harvesting and filtration system which stores all rainwater and runoff water in a 300,000 litre tank , from which it is purified into high quality potable water which gets fed back into the building .
LANDSCAPE PLAN
Smart Building The importance of smart buildings that have the ability to make use of Proptech and sophisticated artificial intelligence systems to react and adapt to a number of variables is more important now than ever . Deloitte were always adamant that they wanted a smart building . Members of their team visited their sister offices in cities such as Amsterdam , London and Frankfurt to look at the different technologies that are being employed for smart buildings and they took a view to implement some of this cutting-edge technology in this building . In this respect , the building has been future-proofed in terms of the digital antenna systems , fibre conduits and other technology that will give Deloitte the ability to upgrade their technology as they go .
With that said , technology is either hindered or enhanced by the design and planning of the building ’ s architecture . Aevitas made a conscious
