Whether you are building an inner city high rise or a two-storey office in the suburbs, ThomsonAdsett understands that efficiency and flexibility are the hallmarks of a successful office development.
The fixed elements- the core, the structure, the basic building services and the external skin –will remain largely unchanged throughout the building’s life. But almost everything else will be in a constant state of change as tenants come and go and workplace requirements and patterns of use alter.
Today’s commercial buildings are increasingly multi-purpose, and as a result our vast experience in retail and medium-to high-density residential projects strengthens our commercial expertise. We can assist with all phases of a project, from site selection and feasibility studies through masterplanning, design development, tendering advice and interior design.
Our designs accommodate both the IT requirements of the workplace, and the computer integrated systems that control air-conditioning, elevators and security. We are also adept at designing a commercial building that costs less to run, in both economic and environmental terms. Sun-shading against heat while maximising natural light, combining mechanical and natural ventilation, and optimising water use can all reduce a building’s impact on both planet and its owner’s bottom line.
Our involvement in large-scale commercial projects around the world over many years has given us a comprehensive understanding of what makes a workplace work. Whether you are building an inner-city high-rise or a two-storey office in the suburbs, we can make this knowledge work to the advantage of your project.
