Details:
HBS were appointed as part of
the Contractor D&B team to undertake the detail design of a
new low energy naturally ventilated Head Office for the publisher John
Wiley. HBS carried out extensive CFD modelling which influenced
the final Architectural design of the building, which comprised
open plan office accommodation with a floor area of 5750M2
over Grd, 1st and 2nd floors all opening onto an atrium located in
the centre of the building. Exposed concrete soffits with
automatic opening windows assist in the control of the internal
environment during summer together with low energy lighting.
The atrium, together with continuous perimeter glazing formed the
main feature of a natural ventilation strategy with the glazed
roof also incorporating automatic openers. There are 2 No. core
areas (east & west) providing reception, display, conference,
individual office and toilet facilities together with passenger and
goods lift provision.
