Interior view of the main conference room The Buddle Findlay offices offer versatile occupancy and use. Carefully considered building services were a vital underpinning of their operation.Engineering consultancy Norman Disney & Young (NDY) designed and specified building services for all three levels of the Buddle Findlay fit-out. Aspects included a variety of air-conditioning solutions, lighting and electrical services, fire protection, plumbing and security.Introducing responsive services into the classic building required close interaction between NDY, the client's CEO Ian Nalder and the building owner's asset manager Paul Broughton of AMP NZ Office Trust. The collaboration effected a tight end product, says director Stuart Bagley. Interior view of the contemporary office area "The project includes a multi-use facility defined by operable walls, which can be closed to form a group of meeting rooms or opened as a single large space. The air conditioning and lighting solutions have been designed to respond to the differing demands of these various uses.""A component of the high-quality office space is the unobtrusive Swegon chilled beam system this replaced the existing induction boxes. Advantages of the chilled beams included facility for zoning, quiet operation, improved sightlines and a comfortable environment."NDY's lighting solutions were equally dextrous a combination of halogen, fluorescent and LED lights again produced optimum comfort and flexibility. Audiovisual elements are operated from the same control panels. Interior view of the contemporary office area "Norman Disney & Young has woven modern, highly flexible building services through the good bones of the AMP building," says Bagley.Norman Disney & Young1 The Terrace, Wellington 6011Phone (04) 471 0151 Fax (04) 471 0163www.ndy.com s.bagley@ndy.com Story by: Trendsideas 31 Aug, 2010 Education Trendsideas Home kitchen bathroom commercial design Latest Post Artistic vibe 03 Nov, 2024 Grown from the land 03 Nov, 2024 Serene air 03 Nov, 2024 We know the Specialists Related Book More Books > NZ2612 NZ2612 Read More Similar Stories
