Five-storey office development
The project
66 Queen Square is a new five-storey office development at the traditional heart of Bristol’s prime office area. The building comprises 58,416sqft of Grade A office space.
The challenge
We had to incorporate a Grade II listed Georgian terrace with a new build conforming to BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standard in a seamless and sympathetic way.
The solution
We supported key design elements, including:
- In-situ concrete frame and foundation design
- Post-tensioned concrete frame
- Rebar detailing and scheduling
- All civils works including underground and external drainage
- Working drawings associated with s106 agreement
- Primary steel design
- Secondary steel (definition as per Bristol design standards)
- All structural works within listed building (remedial and permanent)
- Flood protection
- 3D modelling (new and existing listed building)
- Temporary works design and coordination
The outcomes
Quality assurance
Our structural design provided an economic solution resulting in optimum flexibility while being sympathetic to the architectural design and services requirements.
Optimum delivery
We worked collaboratively with project subcontractors to modify the design and accelerate the construction programme.
Collaborative BIM use
We modelled the existing structure, de-risking the refurbishment works, by increasing pricing accuracy, helping the design and delivery teams to coordinate the M&E design and installation works.
Highest environmental standards
The scheme delivered BREAAM Excellent through the use of sustainable materials, onsite renewable technology, water saving features, maximum natural daylight use and high-performance fabric.
