Facades

Our integrated service offering includes architecture and design services through Holford Associates, acquired in 2008 in the Middle East, and Acer Plan, based in Germany, which was acquired in 1987.

Façade engineering involves a synthesis of energy analysis, materials science, structural engineering, architectural and weathering design. A sound knowledge of production engineering is also required to achieve an appropriate product at the right cost. We provide combined specialist skills and experience from a team that delivers efficient and workable solutions for buildings.

Hyder’s architecture team has a proven record of accomplishment in successful project delivery on time and budget, which is complimented by a well-established presence in the Middle East and internationally. The design studio focuses on producing original concepts which are unique to the requirements of individual projects. We believe the design concept should be fully integrated throughout the project, not limited to the exterior. With this in mind, we have cultivated proactive relationships with various specialists who contribute to the successful outcome of a development, and we have gained a clear understanding of when and how to coordinate these services, including interior design, landscape design and specialist lighting. Capabilities include: Architecture Master planning Feasibility studies Sustainability Interior design Landscape

The design of building façades requires an appreciation of the entire facade life cycle. Careful analysis of energy transfers and the optimisation of performance requirements provide significant benefits during operation of the building, including increased occupant comfort. Capabilities include: Definition of performance requirements Evaluation of occupant comfort Value engineering Evaluation and selection of facade systems Design, development and documentation Monitoring prototypes and component testing Fabrication and site installation audits Asset inspections and condition assessment Failure investigation/diagnostics Regeneration Performance audits Development of remedial strategies
