Gilberts energises the workplace environment


The expansion, reconfi guration and refurbishment of the London headquarters of a global real estate company has created a workplace fi t for the future with wellbeing for people and planet at its heart. The 1990s offi ce block re-work has attained BREEAM Excellent and WELL Platinum – being the UK’s largest fully fi tted project to achieve the latter certifi cation for the quality of air, water and light within a building. The accreditations have been won in part through the building services devised by engineering consultants Troup Bywaters + Anders and delivered by MALA Engineering. DBA Air Solutions supplied Gilberts’ grilles and diffusers for use across the 10 fl oors of the 144,500 sq ft that form the workspace. Throughout the spaces, Gilberts GSL linear slot diffusers, predominantly in four- slot confi guration, have been installed in bulkheads to deliver fresh air, directing the airfl ow horizontally or vertically as required by each location. Gilberts’ GECA eggcrate grilles extract the used air.

Style divides space again for prestigious


London etc.venues facility Having previously divided the 1st fl oor conference facility when etc.venues initially moved into 155 Bishopsgate, London, Style was asked to add further space fl exibility when the company recently expanded into the sizeable 2nd fl oor area. Working with Synergy Architects, and contractor, KPS Partnership Style recommended installing a single, 21 metre long Dorma Huppe Varifl ex moveable wall down the length of the main conference space. A further fi ve Varifl ex walls were then installed evenly spaced throughout the room, allowing individual meeting rooms to be created as demand dictates. Maintaining natural light throughout the space, pass-doors are all fully glazed, with an adjacent panel also being fully glazed in each instance. For added wow factor, solid panels feature eye- catching graphics.
