The project adopted a holistic approach to sustainability with a wide range of design for wellbeing strategies, summarised below:.
A successful lab must be designed with heavy involvement from the client and user team to remove all doubts and uncertainties.Therefore, we allow for many meetings, and keep detailed notes.
We make sure that the processes are understood by the entire team so the functional spaces can be determined to enable flow and adjacency diagrams to be created.And we keep this visual representation of the lab through to service requirement drawings and zoning diagrams..

Our new book ‘Platforms in Practice’ book is a detailed, worked example of how platform theory has been translated into platform practice..The book journeys from the origins of platforms and the creation of platform II to a practical guide to applying platforms and a detailed analysis of how platform II aligns with published rules and principles regarding platform approaches..
The book focuses on a compelling exploration of the world’s first building designed and constructed using this approach and its productivity gains that prove the power of platforms to transform infrastructure delivery..
Delivery Platforms for Government Assets: creating a marketplace for manufactured spaces (2021 edition).The 60-year projection charts clearly show that the new construction option would have a much higher impact on the first year of use, due to the embodied carbon of construction using new materials.
Even though the new construction option benefits from a better operational carbon from day one, the decarbonisation of the grid ‘flattens’ the operational carbon emissions in the.retrofit options, dampening the difference with a new build..
It is worth highlighting that the climate emergency is happening today, and so it is now that we need to reduce carbon emissions that produce global warming.We cannot wait 20 or 40 years for the benefits of more efficient new buildings.
