APPENDICES
APPENDIX I - SITE LAYOUT & LANDSCAPING PROPOSALS
APPENDIX II - two globeside BUILDING PLANS
DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY
| | |
| The Globeside project at Marlow is a phased development comprising five office buildings organised around a public space or ‘boulevard’ and a semi-industrial unit on the periphery of the site. |
| |
| The central area is focused on the pedestrian; a collection of soft and hard landscape materials define a series of spaces or routes in which occupiers can gather. A selection of hard landscaping details starting at the entry to the boulevard will be designed to slow vehicles, giving priority to pedestrians. |
| |
| A similar architectural language is used on all of the buildings so that the development appears structured and unified. However, to avoid monotony the different plan forms allows a variety of treatments where the elevations and roof forms respond to the functions within. All front facades are articulated with a recess marking the glazed entrances. Standing above, supported on two slender columns are extended canopies, which also shelter the plant room. The impressive reception areas are three levels high and animated by walkways at higher levels. |
| |
| The facades comprise predominantly of clay terracotta tiles to reflect the warmth and depth of appearance of Marlow with windows punctuated with recessed vertical joints to distinguish them as modern offices. The roof design is simple in form, comprising a raised seam metal sheet finished in a dark grey rising from the recessed eaves to the ridge with a low pitch. The escape stairs are external and partially enclosed in metal louvres to mask the staircase and to provide the necessary weather protection. |
| |
The buildings are facing the boulevard while the main car park areas extend behind where significant areas of soft landscaping reduce the visual impact of the parked vehicles and associated hard standing. |
|
13 | STRUCTURAL |
| |
| 13.1 | General |
| | |
| | The structures consist of 3 no. reinforced concrete framed office buildings. |
| | |
| 13.2 | Substructure |
| | |
| | The foundations for the office buildings consist of mass concrete pad footings and the office building ground floor slabs are on a compacted sub-base. |
| | |
| 13.3 | Superstructure |
| | |
| | The superstructure for the office buildings are of reinforced concrete frame construction with either 300m or 350mm thick flat slabs. The RC columns are circular with the perimeter columns set back 750mm from the face of the building. The false mansard roof and roof plant rooms are framed in structural steel. |
| | |
| | The internal and external staircases, atrium walkways and canopies are framed in steel. |
| | Loading |
| | |
| | The imposed loads are generally in accordance with BS6399: Partl: 1996 as noted below: |
| Imposed Loads | |
| General offices areas | 4.0 kN/m2 |
| Lightweight partitions | 1.0 kN/m2 |
| | 5.0 kN/m2 |
| | |
| Plant spaces | 7.5 kN/m2 (specific plant loads used if greater) |
| | |
| Roofs | 0.6 kN/m2 |
| | |
| Staircases/Corridors | 4.0 kN/m2 |
14 | ARCHITECTURAL |
| |
| 14.1 | Building Envelope |
| | |
| | External Envelope |
| | |
| | The external envelope consists of a rain screen construction comprising an outer skin of terracotta tiles covering structural insulated panels. The building is organised on a 1500mm planning grid which is expressed on the facade at three meter intervals in a primary grid of aluminium extruded channels and window mullions midway. Extruded channels run horizontally dividing the facade at each storey. |
| | |
| | The windows are aluminium framed, thermally broken double glazed units. They are protected from the solar gain on the South and West facades by brise soleil. |
| | |
| | Curtain Walling, Windows and Doors |
| | |
| | The front facade of the triple height reception is a glazed curtain wall. It comprises fully drained aluminium frames with high performance sealed double glazing units. The curtain walling spans three storeys with additional support from narrow vertical steel fins finished in matching grey. |
| | |
| | The top sections of the glazing running full width of the entrance of globeside two are etched with stripes in diminishing pattern to control the solar glare but maintain excellent views. |
| | |
| | The reception is entered through revolving doors. They are entirely glazed with brushed stainless steel fittings. The side doors are fully glazed aluminium framed units. |
| | |
| | Window Cleaning System |
