Gilberts helps CBRE combine aesthetics and occupant comfort
A
n office relocation of just five metres represents a “seismic move” for global commercial real
estate specialist CBRE, designed in every aspect to create a great workspace, achieved in part by careful selection of the ventilation. The company has relocated within
4 St Pauls Square, a seven-storey Grade A BREEAM Excellent rated office development in Liverpool’s new commercial district to provide its team with the best workplace environment and have room for expansion. Arterior Solutions was appointed to
deliver the interior design developed by CBRE’s in-house team, and turned to Gilberts Blackpool to support in combining the desired aesthetics with occupant comfort. Gilberts’ omni-directional swirl diffusers blend into the exposed ductwork while enabling smooth
distribution and extract of air across the floor plate without “cold dumping”. Slimline high capacity slot diffusers above the external large expanses of glass discharge vertically to
maintain a clear view across the city; above the internal glazing and office entrance, the same model of diffusers have been set to horizontal airflow to eliminate any adverse draughts nor temperature change differential as people come and go. Sean Artess, Arterior Solutions Director, commented, “The senior team at CBRE Liverpool describe
the relocation as a seismic move, creating a new space that is a joy to work in. It was essential to us at Arterior that we fulfilled that dream, in every detail. The relationship we have with Gilberts made them the obvious choice for the ventilation supply and extract: we know Gilberts can be relied upon to deliver the style and quality we wanted.” The new CBRE offices are the latest in Gilberts’ portfolio of high-end commercial projects, including Google’s London headquarters, HMRC’s Liverpool offices, Rabobank’s LEED Gold premises in Dublin, and the BREEAM Excellent-rated The Lumen in Newcastle’s Helix Innovation Quarter and 103 Colmore Row in Birmingham. Gilberts is recognised as the UK’s leading independent air movement specialist, offering grilles,
louvres, and diffusers for natural, hybrid and mechanical ventilation. Founded 60 years ago, Gilberts Blackpool is unique in its ability to develop components, be it ‘mainstream’ or bespoke- entirely in-house, from initial design through tooling, production, testing and supply, at its 140,000+sq ft manufacturing facility. Its state of the art test centre, designed and built in-house, is one of the most technically advanced in the country.
