2.0 > Capability HKS is one of the world’s largest firms of architects, working from 25 offices around the world. With a total staff of some 1,800 people our practice enjoys enormous strength and depth. Our teams around the world provide the full range of design related services needed to develop complex building types. The London office of HKS is a wholly owned subsidiary of HKS Inc., providing a full range of architectural / design services in the UK, Europe and the Middle East and currently employs some 75 people. HKS Architects Ltd possesses the resource, management systems and experience to deliver projects of any size and complexity. The ethos and culture of HKS reflects and is founded upon a clear understanding of the business we are in – ‘We add value to our clients through architecture.’ The HKS vision statement summarises this philosophy as follows: “By bringing value to our clients through innovation, excellence, sustainability and sound business principles, HKS will be a global leader in professional design services.” On a day to day basis our goal is first and foremost to provide a first class design and delivery service to our clients. Having worked on commercial and corporate projects across the world, our team has the capability to interpret your unique operational, financial and organisational structure into a creative design solution. We apply a highly individualised process that will successfully build consensus amongst all stakeholders in order to create an effective and efficient user

operation that also reflects the core purpose and values of your business. We promote diversity. Diversity is critical to delivering professional services as worldwide thought leaders. Our diversity enables us to relate to each other through deeper understanding of our cultural, emotional, physical and psychological needs. As we work around the globe, we strategically develop collaborative teams who communicate more effectively while inspiring innovative solutions with unique perspectives. Embracing diversity, we communicate openly through shared histories and experiences. As a business we invest heavily in our staff through an in-house education programme and continuing professional development. We thrive by creating a learning environment that attracts and challenges our talent. We generate and share our research through partnerships with universities, agencies and think tanks to accelerate the transfer of ideas, improve outcomes and better prepare for the future. Through these processes, and others, we are rewarded with a very low rate of staff turnover, which in turn offers our clients numerous advantages including highly educated and well trained professionals and a consistency of service. Almost 70% of our work is repeat work, which demonstrates that we are able to form long lasting and mutually beneficial client relationships. We would not be able to benefit from such a high percentage of repeat business if we did not perform and regularly exceed expectations.
3.0 > Design Philosophy Ever-changing space requirements, real estate costs, technology expansion, talent retention, sustainability goals. Today’s top companies face a number of challenges when it comes to space design and planning. Top corporate companies face real estate challenges every day. Rapid changes with increasing and decreasing space requirements, pressure to deliver space at less cost with the right technology and creating environments that attract and retain the best people is key among corporations today. HKS has extensive knowledge of everchanging corporate workplace trends. Our focus is to design value-driven facilities that are highly flexible, adaptable and efficient, whilst enhancing the human experience. These buildings convey the company’s vision and values, attracting and retaining top employees while adhering to the latest sustainable design practices. Integrating the corporate brand into a facility is clearly understood by HKS designers. We have found that many leading companies are designing workplaces to align with their marketing approach and mission, sending a clear,
concise message about the company’s values and core business to employees, customers and shareholders. We understand that companies are strategically positioning themselves to meet the demands of a more competitive marketplace. Our interior design philosophy emphasies striking the right balance between your business vision and goals, incorporating a thoughtful, functional design response. HKS employs dedicated professionals with specialty interior experience. As a team, we work to meet your specific goals and objectives through a highly participatory planning process. Using the goals, objectives and space requirements you identify, we develop creative, innovative, functional and operationally efficient interior design solutions. We deliver timeless solutions that allow people to work, play and relax. Our service-first philosophy continues to result in delivering business focused projects that are thoughtful, thorough in design, technically well executed and completed within budget and on schedule.

> The Workplace Needs to Show Up for Work We have moved from task based work to knowledge work. Knowledge workers employ critical thinking to complete varied objectives regardless of age, title or industry. During the course of a given day, a knowledge worker may be expected to work individually (Focus), to work in varying sized groups either live or remote (Collaborate). They will also engage in online or in personal tutorials and coaching to improve/increase their skills (Learn) and they will seek to engage with their co-workers to form internal networks critical to innovation (Socialise). The spaces that support these critical activities need to be as varied as the activities themselves.
> Efficient, Effective and Authentic Workplaces seek greater balance and a re-distribution of the space. Smaller more effective offices and very limited departmental ownership frees up the space we need to create shared conference rooms, distributed throughout to support collaborations; breakout spaces to support socialisation and casual collisions and amenities which pull people across departments together accelerating those casual collisions and creating a platform for innovation. > One Site does Not Fit All Our proposals are neither standardised or formulaic. We consider ourselves a partner, on the same team as our client, working to deliver a custom strategic tool for doing business. Every project looks different because each project and each client has its own unique combination of drivers.

> Defining how well a Workplace works In the end, our success is defined by how well our workplaces work. Our process always begins by observing the everyday working lives and work culture of the people who will use the workplaces we design. When we do this, we are not looking at space, we are looking at work. Or more precisely, at people who are working – and doing other things – in the work environment. We want to know how their workplace helps and hinders their work – functionally, emotionally and socially. Above all, we are trying to see what is great about how they work, so that the new workplace will feature and support their energy.
The key is to simply observe, and to try not to turn the corner into judgment or problem solving. There will be plenty of time in the process for that. This may be our only opportunity to truly and simply listen and watch the people whose lives we hope to affect. Then we will come together to identify patterns, differences, and implications. In this process, it is not any one observation that matters. Rather, the patterns across all of our observations will reveal the keys to an amazing new workplace. This, along with other discovery tools, ensures that our design remains deeply connected to the everyday experience and soul of the organisation for whom we are designing.

4.0 > Sustainability HKS has been actively involved in environmental issues since the 1960’s when the company was instrumental in developing innovative low energy solutions to housing design and campaigning for efficient and renewable energy production and therefore considers issues of sustainability from the outset. As part of our ongoing commitment to low energy, sustainable design solutions, HKS has experience of recognised environmental assessment methods including BREEAM, Ska and LEED. HKS, through user group meetings and design workshops, seeks close collaboration with client and design teams to
As well as being accredited with BSEN ISO 14001:2004, HKS DesignGreen is the sustainable consulting studio within HKS that assists our design staff in implementing sustainable design processes and strategies. This studio has catalogued sustainable strategies and “lessons learned” from our vast project experience and uses this data on a daily basis to assist our designers in identifying successful and appropriate sustainable design strategies for their projects. Daily communication and contact with the project design team makes HKS DesignGreen uniquely effective at delivering successful integrated design solutions for its clients.

By seeking maximum integration of all design disciplines and continual review of building form, function and operation. A holistic design can be achieved, minimising waste, reducing energy consumption and fully serving the needs of the occupier. We are currently achieving “excellent” BREEAM ratings on designs for hospitals, schools and commercial projects.
HKS carries out regular research into innovations in environmental design and are currently evolving a structured in house design guide and protocol for use by all technical staff.

5.0 > BIM HKS was one of the first architectural firms to extensively use Building Information Modeling (BIM). Since 2009, all of our newly awarded projects utilise BIM capabilities. Our firm currently has £14.7 billion in design and construction underway using Autodesk Revit, a BIM software. Revit allows us to explore complex architectural geometry with a realistic and intelligent model that is seamlessly integrated with coordinated construction documents. BIM’s 3D approach allows the owner and building team to see how the pieces of their project – from its three-story atrium to its door frames – fit together. Owners, architects, engineers and contractors are all seeing the advantages of Revit. The Benefits of HKS’ Implementation of BIM BIM allows the design team to quickly study options via analysis tools – revealing the best design option (e.g. LEED certification points, most efficient volume and perimeter, site orientation and building views).
implementing new solar technology) – allowing educated sustainable decisions. BIM supports the Integrated Project Delivery team process by giving the team the tools necessary to exchange required information between all members – saving time and money. The technology facilitates accurate presentation views at any point during the design and construction document process – allowing the owner to better understand their building.
The quality of overall documents improves due to the use of 3D modeling coordination – promoting a coordinated set of construction documents. The process encourages all industry team members to communicate – helping improve efficiency of scheduling construction activities (e.g. analysis and sequencing of work, materials delivery, ordering long lead items, organising construction site storage and staging areas).
The technology allows architects and their team members to study the cost impact of different designs (e.g. exterior wall system options, percentage of glazing versus solid wall) – providing a better cost overview.
BIM reduces the possibility of building construction conflicts which could require change orders – saving the owner additional costs.
Analysis tools offered by BIM promote green design (e.g. daylighting studies, energy calculations, building site orientation and

> Additional Services Strategies Survey (AWS) Study Objectives Identify and understand type, perceptions and frequency of alternate work strategies currently being used by full-time employees companywide, with special focus on the headquarters and key area offices. Study insights are to directly inform recommendations for programming design, technology infrastructure, policy and culture. In a time of consolidated office spaces, increasing geographically distributed work groups and virtual collaboration with both coworkers and clients, it is essential to understand the frequency, motivation and modes of alternate work strategies. Understanding these key aspects can directly inform real estate portfolios, staffing, office space programing, commuting considerations and investments in technology. The future of corporate work environments continue to be and will increasingly become company specific mixtures of space to accommodate Me, We and Us physically and virtually.
Change Management Change management is a function of change “engagement.” A pulse-point survey has been developed by our team that polls the user groups, every 4 months, to understand their perceptions and expectations, so the transition can be better managed. We have learned from our previous research that expectations shape perceptions, and perceptions are shaped by engagement in design and process improvement. This simple tool become a great way to continually assess the pulse of stakeholders and make them “change ready.”

Lean Design HKS is committed to improving the design and construction process. Using lean principles, we are transforming the way we work, and the impact to our clients is huge.
reWORK The workplace is a dynamic environment, host to many different tasks performed by many generations of users, each carrying a variety of experiences and expectations.
Lean principles focus on maximising customer value by minimising waste. In simple terms, we want to provide exactly what is needed to our project partners and our clients at the right time, to deliver a building that meets the expectations of our clients end customers.
Leveraging a rich history of evidence based design in healthcare, as well as an ever growing library of knowledge in education and sports, HKS is continuing the focus on research applied to “work.� The initiative is reWORK: a results driven and people oriented approach to re-engineering the workplace.
Using lean principles has enabled us to deliver projects with reduced schedules, increased scope and decreased cost, and without RFIs, change orders or snagging lists, depending on the goals of the project.
Research Research is the essential ingredient of design that allows architects to create innovative environments based on the best possible information and insight. It provides the foundation that supports the design solution as well as the extra measure of assurance to a client that there is sound evidence and intentionality behind each decision. Most important, it holds our designs accountable to a higher standard – enhanced human experience, environmental quality and organisational value made measurable through improved outcomes and a tangible return on investment.

reWORK offers a broad toolkit of data collection and analysis methodologies to capture the human experience within the built environment and translate them into actionable design directives. Good design, i.e. under budget and on time comes standard; great design identifies needs, anticipates challenges, and prevents errors. Our immersive research process provides these in-depth insights for design teams to efficiently and effectively optimise spatial design, meet client needs and user expectations in both predesign investigations and post-occupancy assessments.

> Workplace Consultancy Recent trends in workplace design for insurance companies meant that Pembroke had to consider a more creative design solution for their office. HKS were the perfect partner to guide them through a multitude of options before settling on the design that best suited the needs of their business
Pembroke Underwriting
The key for Pembroke was a need to relocate their underwriting operations within the insurance heartland of the City of London. The need to relocate was a resulting of continued expansion of the business and a wholesale refurbishment of their existing premises by their current Landlord. Pembroke’s move to Fenchurch Place, allowed them to re-evaluate their internal adjacencies for teams in order to create an environment that better supported collaboration and cross selling. This was achieved by undertaking numerous space planning options to ensure that the most effective and efficient layout was created. Capital was also invested in creating client facing spaces for brokers from other companies to visit Pembroke and undertake business transactions.
