Architecture

A very delicate challenge arose when this firm where assigned the task of designing a multipurpose sports facility with a restricted plot size. After careful consideration, they agreed to a building that allowed two markedly different climates – hot and cold. These climates managed to co-exist in a small plot using a floating floor. The design work that went into this project took a years’ worth of detailed planning before coming to a systematic solution.

Time is crucial when it comes to construction sites. This architectural firm were tasked by a client with exploring ways of cutting down development time and heavily reducing costs on large-scale builds. They settled on a design where windows would become crucial in supporting the structure of the building. This saved materials, and construction time, which ultimately reduced the costs. In addition, this design was built offsite which minimalised the onsite build costs.

This architectural firm were challenged to design a visitor centre in a UNESCO world heritage site. The location was unique, meaning there was no readily available information on how to approach the build and support structure of the centre. They designed a process which was sympathetic with existing grade 1 structures. Importantly, the design was sustainable and consequently did not impact the UNESCO site.
