Engineering a Sustainable Technology Valley
High environmental performance was embedded into the engineering strategy from the earliest design stages. Working alongside Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Quadrante developed the multidisciplinary engineering and sustainability consultancy for Farfetch’s new offices, from Concept Design and Licensing through Detailed Design and Technical Assistance during construction. The scope integrated structures, excavation and retaining structures, water systems, electrical installations, telecommunications, security, building management systems, mechanical and ventilation systems, gas, lifts, acoustics, thermal performance and waste management. BIM and 6D BIM simulations supported multidisciplinary coordination and the assessment of energy, daylight and shading, water reuse, carbon footprint, circularity, traffic and accessibility.
