This document provides details on the design plans for a new office building at Pinewood Studios. The building will have space for 50 employees and additional businesses. It will be 4 stories tall with the potential for 3 more stories. The design includes 6 apartments on the upper floors that can later be converted to additional office space. The document discusses the building materials, facade design, mechanical and electrical systems, and other engineering considerations for the new building.

1. PINEWOOD STUDIOS
Office building

2. •New office building for Pinewood studio
•Space for 50 people to work
•Quick to build with low construction cost
•Wide open space
•4 stories all with the ability of an additional 3 stories

3. WHO?

4.  Office
◦ Cater for approximately 50 people, additionally
extra businesses or meetings.
◦ Area for eating and relaxing
 Residential
◦ 6 apartments accompanied by roof garden
• Apartments 136m²
• At roughly £400pw, you would generate
£115000pa from all 6 apartments.

5. RESIDENTIAL AREA- conversion
Conversion of apartments to office:
• The first 4 storeys are for office use only
• 3 storeys above the office are apartments which
are rented out, and can then be used to convert
into offices in the future.
• Apartments would be rented out which means
there would be an increase in the income
Interior office materials:
• sound proofed rooms

6.  Located just outside Greater London
 Located on an existing plot

7.  50 years
 Office use is extended by temporary
residential housing

10.  13 columns
◦ 5 are slanted
 Braces to secure
structure and stop
twisting

13. Potential Materials
of office
•Pine slabs
•Aluminium
•GRP
•GRC
•Fritted glass
•Laminated glass

14. FACADE DESIGN 1 Triple glazing saves
up to 7200W
Fritted glass
(prevents too much
solar gain)
Laminated glass, Pine slabs
height of 1.1m

16. FACADE
DESIGN 2

17. Facades:
• how the triple glazed glass
would be attached
1) Silicone connection
• bigger connection
• requires less amount of
glass panels, therefore
requires more silicone.
• bigger connection which 2) Toggle connection
doesn't meet architects •Smaller connection
needs therefore more
aesthetically pleasing.
•Stronger than using
silicone connection

18. •British standards-
rails have to be at
least 1.1m high. (For
the roof Garden)
•Manufactured from
laminated glass (safer)

26.  Triple Glazing – calculating the heat loss

27. Total heat loss for the
building
= 65 kW
Giving an average ‘u
value’ of
~ 0.79 Wm-2K-1
Triple glazing saves
around 7000 W

28.  Office ventilation (mechanical)
 Heating and cooling (Air Handling Unit with
Heat Recovery)
◦ ground 25x30cm (<25 people),
◦ 1st floor 24x36cm (<20 people),
◦ 2nd floor 36x30cm (<30 people),
◦ 3rd floor 24x30 (<20 people)
 Car Park ventilation (requires carbon
monoxide detectors and jet fans)

29.  Automatic, presence detection lighting
◦ (60 lights per floor in offices)
◦ (10 lights per apartment)
 Water supply
 Gas (for apartments and kitchen in office)

31.  Transport
◦ Access to underground car park
◦ Bike Shed
 Geotechnics
◦ 10m made ground, 40m London clay
◦ Piles- replacement (concrete and steel)
• Environment
—Roof Garden

32.  Teamwork between all the different disciplines is
essential.
 Much more involved than just making it stand up!
 Meeting local standards is a pain. Especially when
undertaking foreign projects.
 About all the different parts involved in a
successful design. (u values, moments, loading)
 CAD software can be a challenge! But once
mastered can make the process much more
efficient.
 Litigation between client and contractor is key.
 And of course, lots of hard work.

And thanks for the hard work
you have all put in to making
this a value experience for us!
