The design has won numerous architectural awards, including the 2006 Emirates Glass LEAF Award and the Royal Institute of British Architects European awards in 2007. It was also nominated for the Stirling Prize in 2007.
This project was used to further enhance our Soft Landing protocol. The team collaboratively deployed digital construction tools and techniques to delivery Building Information Modelling (BIM) to Level 2 with a data rich asset model provided to the client to aid the ongoing efficient operation of the building during its ‘in-use’ phase. Extended familiarisation sessions were delivered by the site team to continue supporting staff post handover to ensure systems are operationally effective.
