USER E X P E R I E N C E
OPPORTUNITIES We have explored some alternative concepts, as shown in this sequence of illustrations, to assess whether more emphasis can be given to some of the brief requirements and ultimately more benefit gained. Through this exercise we believe there is potential for an enhanced “User” and an enhanced “Customer” experience. The key aspects of these proposals that contribute to this are: • Greater access to shared and borrowed daylight • Greater integration across the space and a reduction in corridors • A stronger brand identity at arrival on each floor and through the collocation of meeting facilities around a branded “hub”. This is the place in which most circulation and cross flow occurs • Greater social interaction and exchange through the creation of the “hub”

low carbon footprint
DESIGNING FOR A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT To manage the carbon footprint of this and components having regard to their project, our interior design proposals will embodied energy, CO2 production over principally consider the following aspects: their life span, ozone depletion potential, water extraction, mineral resource 1. Responsible sourcing and specification consumption, ecotoxicity, human toxicity, of material and components fossil fuel depletion, acidification and 2. Responsible construction and waste finally their ease of disposal or potential management for recycling at the end of the service life. 3. Energy consumption within the completed fit-out We actively challenge the construction 4. Wellbeing team in terms of their site operations to minimize waste and maximize At the inception of the project, we would recycling of waste, whether arising from seek to gain a clear understanding of the enabling works or from site processes base building, its specifications, service (eg. formwork, off-cuts, pallets and provision and general construction. The other packaging materials etc.). We intention is to maximise the opportunities also encourage them to consider the to make use of the existing condition, impacts of site deliveries and other particularly daylight, thereby reducing the vehicle movements in terms of fossil reliance on lighting, mechanical ventilation fuel consumption and CO2 generation and cooling and the consequent generation and on the local environment generally. of CO2. We would work closely with our Service Engineer and our Sustainability We take particular care over the Consultant, Epoch, to ensure the selection and specification of materials completed fit-out is as energy efficient as and components, being conscious of possible, thereby once again minimizing their embodied energy of manufacture CO2 production. and distribution. Where possible, we seek to responsibly source all materials
We would also seek, where possible, to encourage PLC to consider sustainable transport in relation to the use of the building once completed. On our commercial projects this typically takes the form of secure, well lit and easily accessible cycle parking facilities together with shower and changing facilities. In the last three years the HKS London office has completed or remains actively working on over 20 projects that have been either accredited or are seeking SKA or BREEAM accreditation at a level of either Silver (Very Good) or Excellent. As a worldwide group, HKS has completed and registered over 130 projects for LEED, the US equivalent of BREEAM, and employs over 300 LEED accredited professionals. HKS also maintains HKS DesignGreen, an in-house consulting studio dedicated to the promotion of sustainability across all the group projects and operations. HKS is accredited to BS EN ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard.
