‘Well connected’ commercial schemes completed at White City
Two buildings at the White City Place business campus in west London are now completed. Both buildings – Gateway West and Gateway Central – designed by Gort Scott, and Allies and Morrison respectively, have been given a Platinum WiredScore, the highest certifi cation for “pre-enabled connectivity.”
The project team includes Sir Robert McAlpine (Construction Manager), AKT II (Structural and Facade Engineers), Sweco (MEP Engineer) and Deloitte (Cost Consultant). Cushman & Wakefi eld and Knight Frank are acting as agents. Gateway Central is an 11-storey building comprising 280,000 ft2 of total fl oor area, including two outdoor terraces at Levels 4 and 8. L’Oréal UK and Ireland have taken the fi ve upper fl oors of the building for their UK headquarters and are currently fi tting out the new space. Gateway West includes solar control glass with shading from external fi ns and shelves, designed to enable the building to use less than half the energy a comparable building requires to cool. The building is targeting BREEAM Outstanding and an energy effi ciency EPC ‘A’ rating.
MERGER
Broadway Malyan merges with DC3 and WILL+Partners
“Architecture, urbanism and design” practice Broadway Malyan has merged with architects DC3 and its sister company WILL+Partners.
Architecture practice DC3 was founded by John Drew, William Poole-Wilson and Therese Bak. Drew worked at Foster & Partners for 15 years, including as a partner, and was responsible for a number of the practice’s City of London projects. Bak has worked in New York and London with SOM and, alongside Drew at Rafael Vinoly Architects. Over the years they worked collaboratively
with William Poole-Wilson who also founded workplace specialist practice WILL+Partners.
They bring extensive experience of high-profi le developments in London and internationally, including projects such as Battersea Power Station Masterplan and 20 Fenchurch Street (the ‘Walkie Talkie’). Ian Apsley, group managing director, Broadway Malyan, said: “We are hugely excited to welcome Will, John and Therese as principals and design directors. Their skills and experience will be hugely valuable in helping us broaden
our client base particularly strengthening our commercial and research offers in the UK.”
WILL+Partners’ commissions span a wide variety of sectors including banking and insurance, major corporates and third sector, will continue to operate under its existing brand for the foreseeable future. Poole-Wilson, founder and managing director, will join Broadway Malyan’s executive board and lead workplace design accounts across the UK, while supporting the established teams internationally.
The merger will see the DC3 and WILL+Partners teams relocate to join Broadway Malyan’s established team in Waterloo.
Gateway West is a four-storey building comprising 25,000 ft2 which offers the opportunity to accommodate a stand-alone headquarters while also being fl exible for a multi-tenanted occupation. It is a distinctive, angular brick and ceramic building, accessed via a new, landscaped public garden. A “collaborative approach to sustainability” has resulted
in a low level of embodied carbon in the building, said the project team. It has also achieved 2025-2030 energy performance targets and the site now supports twice the previous levels of biodiversity, prior to its redevelopment. The building is targeting BREEAM Outstanding and an energy effi ciency EPC rating of ‘A’.
