GENERATION INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, AIRW1, LONDONARCHITECT PRINGLE BRANDON PERKINS + WILL PROJECT MANAGER KNIGHT FRANK AREA 21,300sqft

Medland Metropolis completed a commercial office fitout in the AirW1 development in London’s West End within the Quadrant 3 building. This exciting fitout was for Generation Investment Management (Generation), an investment management firm with a broad focus on sustainability.

Generation commissioned a fitout that would provide an attractive new office space for its growing business and reflect in real terms its commitment to sustainability. Throughout the project Generation directed the Medland Metropolis team to focus on energy saving and efficiency first; if this led to achieving a high SKA accreditation that would be a bonus. The Medland Metropolis team closely monitored designs and instructions ensuring all specifications of MEP equipment fell within sustainability best practice and benchmarked against the SKA guidelines of the energy and water technology lists. In addition, re-using existing services, plant and equipment wherever possible kept costs to a minimum. Working within a tight time-frame, the team workshopped the designs during construction and developed solutions that are adaptable to change and future use. This will help maximise the life-cycle of the fitout through minimising the need for complex modifications. The fitout was designed to allow the client to accurately monitor and manage their energy usage, highlighting areas of importance and providing Generation with the information necessary to introduce energy saving behavioural and equipment changes. Other sustainable items included in our design were:

» To ensure ‘best practice’ levels of energy, Medland Metropolis specified CMD Footprint, an energy sub metering system that will provide a detailed breakdown and an on-going account of the office operational energy consumption.

» Sub-metering of all hot, cold and reclaimed water supplies provided to the toilet blocks and office pantries.

» All water meters are digitally connected to the floor’s Building Management System, allowing for water usage to be continually monitored, recorded and analysed.

» LED lighting systems have been incorporated into the fitout where their performance was suitable.

» The lighting control system designed with energy efficiency as a key focus. Perimeter zones utilise a daylight harvesting system; as the external daylight reaches correct working levels, sensors detect this and automatically dim the lighting in these zones to reduce energy consumption.

» Open plan areas have been provided with a dense PIR detection grid; small lighting zones will be switched off when that area is not populated and re-energised when movement is detected.

» Solenoid shut-off valves connected to occupancy sensors have also been provided within each toilet block.

The existing Q3 Air W1 base building, aside from its outstanding architectural features including a central atrium in the heart of the office space, incorporates an energy strategy that sets a new benchmark for a sustainable central London development. The Generation fitout was able to benefit from features that included two combined heat and power plants (CHP) and photovoltaic panels. One of these CHP units will be the largest and most efficient fuel cell in Europe, and the only unit in the West End. Other sustainable features including rainwater harvesting, make this one of the most sustainable base buildings Medland Metropolis has been able to work with.

The combination of the client’s sustainable philosophy, our design, and building selection has resulted in a top quality, sustainable, and attractive office space.

Medland Metropolis has completed design and documentation for an 8 level high end fitout for Worley Parsons, in Brisbane’s AM60 Building, located at 80 Albert Street, Brisbane. The Engineering team worked collaboratively with HASSELL’s interior design team throughout the design phases to ensure a unique solution was created.

We achieved a 5 Star NABERS rating for Worley Parsons. Some of the specific NABERS related features include equipment selections, sensor lighting, integrating the lighting and air-conditioning controls with sensors, and having just a one hour run time after hours. This has been achieved by designing a high level controls interface between the services to work with the Base building and reduce energy usage.

AM60 is Brisbane’s first CBD commercial office building with an active chilled beam air-conditioning system. Hence, the team’s challenge was to continue this system throughout the floor, ensuring it’s integration into the Worley Parsons fitout.

A high level of Audio Visual interface was incorporated into the boardroom, where individual microphones and speakers were positioned within the boardroom table to interact with the Video Conferencing facility. The design of an undulating lighting feature in reception was created around the theme “terrain” - a direct reflection of the mining work practices of Worley Parsons.

Co-ordination between the services was high, to ensure clean lines on various sections of the ceiling. This occurred in the kitchen where pelmet lighting was incorporated into the design, and air-conditioning grilles positioned at each end of the room.

Medland Metropolis worked closely with Savills (previously Incoll Project Management) and HASSELL to create a professional and sustainable workspace for the Worley Parsons people and their community.

3 WENTWORTH ST, DOVER HEIGHTSCLIENT CHRIS MEDLAND AREA 400sqm

This 400sqm, five bedroom luxury villa, set on the cliffs of Sydney’s Dover Heights, has a footprint of a dwelling less than half its size. Its natural ventilation system maintains the internal temperature below 26 degrees Celsius in the peak of summer and above 20 degrees Celsius in the depths of winter. This is achieved with a water reservoir built into the sandstone bedrock, which houses 25,000litres of water at 16 - 18 degrees Celsius. Cool water is pumped throughout the concrete slabs with discrete fans that re-circulate air to create movement and further cooling. Internal louvres open and close automatically, triggered by internal temperature and external conditions. Innovative privacy-sensitive vented openings are situated above the doorways, and heat buildup in key zones is rejected into the external pool. In the winter months, highly efficient, roof mounted, solar, evacuated cylinder water heaters heat the slab. The central atrium is glazed with a Viridian Smart Glass with black fritting that blocks 60% of the light to further minimise heat gain. Photovoltaic cells, which feed back into the grid, and the highly efficient vented façade and green roof combine to further enhance the passive efficiency.

Medland Metropolis were engaged by HASSELL to provide Services Engineering for their Brisbane Studio in Fortitude Valley. The former Keating’s Bread Factory was extensively refurbished to create a suite of open-plan interconnected studio and gathering spaces. There was also a new pavilion style building creating a civic entry sequence and colonnaded courtyard.

All services were exposed which required a high degree of co-ordination to ensure that the services were showcased in a beautiful manner, as they can be when installed in a regular fashion. The studio achieved a 5-Star Green Star rating. Some of the ESD initiatives included predominant use of metal halide and fluorescent lighting, 200 lux ambient lighting level with task lights on all desks, CO2 sensors for outside air control, sophisticated tenant metering and lighting control, automated blinds, and rainwater harvesting.

Medland Metropolis completed the design and documentation of mechanical, electrical, fire, and hydraulic systems for this purpose-built commercial office development that raises the bar on sustainable working environments.

Recognising the itinerant energy requirements of the modern work environment, each unit within the development has independent controls for lighting and air conditioning, as well as natural ventilation systems. One hundred and eighty solar panels provide sufficient power to resource all the common facilities, including circulation spaces and meeting rooms. State of the art air conditioning systems offer heat/cool recovery for great savings on energy. Water harvesting systems enable capture and reuse of water. The systems combine to create the perfect satellite office or micro business headquarters because the occupants can exercise great control over their environment and hence their energy usage and associated costs.

Medland Metropolis undertook design and documentation of mechanical, electrical and environmental (NABERS and Green Star), for Norton Rose’s office fitout.

Our engineering design focused on providing a quality client environment, in which services are rich and seamless. Medland Metropolis ensured that all services design was undertaken to meet the 5 Star Green Star and 5 Star NABERS ratings targeted for the space, as well as coordinating the submissions. Medland Metropolis designed a lighting system which makes use of energy efficient LED fittings, zoning and motion sensitivity, coupled with a fully addressable lighting control system to minimise energy drain by lighting, and to ensure that spaces are only lit when they are in use. The air conditioning system provided by Medland Metropolis was designed to meet a number of challenges, including the internal staircase linking all four floors of the fitout, and to account for the needs of the space’s Green Wall, a living entity with specific requirements of its environment.

OUR PROJECTS

Medland Metropolis worked with Rice Daubney and the team at Interface Flor to realise their vision to achieve 5 Star Green Star for their Sydney headquarters. Originally built in the 1890s as a social and educational facility for railway employees, 101 Chalmers Street was listed as a heritage building in 1980.

Updating a recently refurbished base building to meet the requirements of Interface Flor, Heritage and the Green Building Council of Australia (especially waste and energy) had an effect on all of the services and it was a challenge that Medland Metropolis thrived on. The final result was a very discrete integration of services within the interior design ensuring that Interface Flor had an original and highly flexible product showroom in which they can display their product and also hold industry functions and events.

ROYAL COLLEGE OFGENERAL PRACTITIONERS ARCHITECT TILNEY SHANE BUILDER STRUCTURETONEPROJECT MANAGER ARCADISAREA 110,000 sqftTARGETING BREEAM VERY GOOD RATING

The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) required a headquarters in London to service a variety of functions. The heritage Grade II Star building, Euston Exchange was chosen for its ability to fit their requirements. These included; an auditorium, examination rooms, member’s lounges, state meeting rooms, a business centre, study rooms, and office accommodation. This project involved a category A & B fitout, new lift cores and new building plant facilities.

We implemented environmental engineering measures to target a BREEAM “Very Good” rating. Our design included: rain water harvesting used to flush toilets in the lower ground auditorium areas and a combined natural and mechanical ventilation system. The natural ventilation helped to comply with planning in heritage areas by eliminating the need for ventilation duct routes running through historic areas. We carefully selected energy efficient lamps for the lighting design and used lighting control to enhance the design. Due to the size and varying use of the building we fully integrated the building management system to assist the sustainable design and facilities management for the ongoing building management. In addition, we utilised Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology and heat recovery systems to provide space heating and domestic hot water for the building.

OUR PROJECTS

Medland Metropolis was involved from the pre-design phase on this $60 million aged care development. The project included a new 100 bed aged care facility, community centre, and design of infrastructure for future construction of 200 Independent Living Units. Our early involvement in the project design enabled us to determine the comprehensive services requirements and make value enhancing recommendations that were consistent with the design vision and objectives of the project stakeholders.

The realised design incorporated many innovative ESD elements, which utilised leading technology. For example, the community facilities provide a warm water pool that is heated by a cogeneration plant. The co-generator generates both electricity and heat: electricity powers facility lighting and heat is used to maintain pleasant temperature control of the facility environment and water in the pool. Excess electricity generated is fed to the grid. Also, Medland Metropolis specified high efficiency VRF air conditioning to minimise the energy consumption required for air conditioning. In this manner, Southern Cross Care is better able to provide good quality community facilities, without ongoing concerns about the rising cost of electricity.

The Caboolture Signature Project incorporates a 3,000sqm Library, 1,000sqm of Learning Space and 1,000sqm of Gallery Space.

A number of initiatives were incorporated into the space including under-floor distribution air-conditioning in the gallery which allows the space to feature high ceilings, free cooling through heat recovery, together with cooling tower makeup water via tank storage (harvesting the roof rainwater.) Indirect lighting was utilised over the main Library collection area to assist in dealing with the challenges of 2 storey high ceilings. Large drum pendants have been incorporated into the space as a form of task lighting, creating ambience and space identification. The lighting has been designed as low maintenance, hence no ladders or lifts are required.

Medland Metropolis also acted as ESD Consultants for this project which involved the development of a Green Plan for the project including the hosting of workshops for the design team, the project management team and representatives from Moreton Bay Regional Council in order to identify opportunities to include Environmentally Sustainable options in the project. As ESD Consultant, Medland Metropolis also monitored the inclusion of agreed environmentally sustainable initiatives to ensure that every possible avenue of sustainability was actively pursued.

LARGE FINANCIAL ORGANISATION, LONDONARCHITECT SHEPPARD ROBSONPROJECT MANAGER TURNER TOWNSENDAREA 70,000sqftBREEAM “VERY GOOD” 2008

With a reputation for being a young, dynamic financial organisation, the design team was appointed to deliver an office environment showcasing their brand identity and values whilst appealing to their employees. The existing category A fitout and building was BREEAM “Very Good” rated. Our fitout was designed to match this rating and also target SKA “Silver” rating for the interiors. We worked closely with the environmental consultant to ensure our design complied with these rating tools.

We achieved this by reconfiguring & adding to the existing DALI lighting control system for control and flexibility. A zoned lighting scheme was installed for energy efficiency and ease of use to cellular areas. Daylight harvesting was also incorporated to open plan office areas with the use of photocell sensors placed accordingly. The landlord luminaries were reused in open plan areas and dimmed to eliminate reflection on screens and reduce energy usage. Additional luminaires were streamlined to allow for ease of future maintenance, and waste.

The base building fan coil unit systems drove the mechanical solutions to minimise waste and cost in general open plan office areas where applicable. We used a centralised building management system that provided individual controls in meeting rooms and GEC offices and to allow for reduced power requirements and cooling, the communication rooms were cooled utilising cold isle containment.

For the public health systems in the tea points we successfully used the more efficient building wide hot water systems and took advantage of the building’s Vivereau system for boiling and chilled water supply.

INNOVATEThe Innovate stream of the Empower programme is

expressed through MM Time. In these monthly sessions, each

member of the team is challenged to pursue their passions

and to push boundaries. MM Time mixes it up unleashing

each individual from their daily routine to pursue personal

and team projects that support new levels of inspiration, and

develop their inner resources as an innovative professional.

The programme aims to enable free thinking; to allow the

mind to innovate and create without restriction. Our “Round

Box” sessions which are held during the lunchtime, are

engineering forums that focus on new design ideas.

CULTIVATEThe Cultivate stream is dedicated to nurturing each

individual’s capacity to contribute to work, family, friends

and community. Cultivate concentrates on environmental

practices and aspects of physical, emotional and

psychological welfare. The objective of Cultivate has always

been to establish an environment and culture that optimises

the balance between work and personal needs for the entire

team at Medland Metropolis.

EDUCATEThe Educate stream is dedicated to achieving the best match

between our people and their role at Medland Metropolis.

We approach career development as a responsibility

which is best shared between the organisation and the

individual. Educate incorporates a tailored programme for

each individual, which is designed to meet their particular

strengths and embrace their career aspirations. Each

individual programme incorporates “Lunchbox Sessions”

with visiting experts, external and internal training courses as

well as internal one-on-one sessions with a mentor.

EMPOWER

Medland Metropolis is dedicated to assisting our employees to achieve their personal best and meet their career horizons. We

understand that our people are our best asset. Accordingly, Medland Metropolis designs and implements a tailored programme of

training and development for all employees called Empower. The aim of the Empower programme is to promote continuous improvement

in the way we do our business, and to encourage and support staff to develop their capability as holistic professionals. A key feature of the

programme is MM Time. One Friday afternoon each month staff stop their normal duties and participate in a structured programme of

individual and team based activities. The Empower Programme has three streams which we call Educate, Cultivate and Innovate.
