Building C is the third of 8 planned office buildings which will create an internal ‘high street’ feel accessed along a central spine road. The architecture is a reinterpretation of the classical architecture of Montecasino, this reinterpretation introduces several contemporary design elements thereby creating a unique character which forms a dialogue with Montecasino across the road. The architecture also contributes to the precinct’s sense of place. Practical completion Building C is May 2018.
Sustainable building features include
- External shading is provided to the Eastern, Western and Northern facades, using adjustable sliding shutters to window openings. This leads to improved thermal comfort while still allowing for good levels of daylight and external views.
- No hot water has been provided for in the building
- The lighting power density for 95% of the UA is less than 1.5W/m2 per100 Lux at 720 mm AFL with a default maintenance factor of 0.8. Motion sensors for lighting is also in place which has lead to an efficient lighting installation.
- Water closets, urinals and faucet fixtures all reduce water consumption. WC’s and urinals are all fitted with actuators to reduce and control water consumption.
- Paints, adhesives sealants and carpets have low VOC emissions.
- Basements are naturally ventilated
- Energy and water sub metering have been employed. This will enable the building to be effectively managed and the outcomes of the implemented sustainable initiatives realised.
