Guide to Specification – South West and Wales Seminar
Put your questions to the team who edited the guide and discover how it is engaging the needs of occupiers, leading and informing the agenda on sustainable development and setting a new benchmark for standards of best practice in design.
This seminar will demonstrate how the guide has evolved – reflecting significant changes in design practice over the last four years – and will present new research on occupancy density and internal temperature.
Venue – Portwall Place
Completed in January 2009, Portwall Place was designed as a speculative office building and provides 200,000 sq ft of high specification commercial office space within Bristol City Centre. The building developers Deeley Freed Estates Ltd bucked the trend with this large floor plate building in Bristol offering up to 38,000 sq ft per floor with capability to split the floor plates for smaller leases, maximising flexibility.
The two storey entrance leads through into two full height atria ensuring that natural light penetrates the floor plates. Externally the building responds to the wharf style of the local vernacular utilising brickwork and natural stone as the key materials. Articulated curtain wall glazing, the design approach has sought to introduce a modern aesthetic in order to attract high quality tenants to the location.
