In the new development at Brighton Marina our
building designs incorporate a high level of natural light,
acoustic insulation and energy efficiency. We've also produced a
sustainable travel plan to encourage cycling, walking and public
transport
Our building and infrastructure design teams present an immense
breadth and depth of expertise covering every type of development –
from commercial and cultural to retail and residential – and every
discipline, from acoustics, façade engineering, fire safety and
lighting to long-span structures, ventilation and vertical
transportation.
This approach is fine-tuned by our building specialists on novel
designs which range from groundwater cooling and natural
ventilation for the award-winning
Manchester Civil Justice Centre,
to free cooling at the Imperial War Museum North.
In collaboration with our construction economists, Franklin +
Andrews, we have developed a ‘customised office solution’ to
improve efficiency and reduce overall build programmes. The concept
was tested on Laing O’Rourke’s new London headquarters building to
much acclaim.
As part of our sustainable buildings services we undertake BREEAM
assessments – a widely used and established method for
environmental assessment in the UK, setting best practice in
sustainable development.
