Buro Happold supported Kingswood Preparatory School, in Bath, to expand its facilities with a focus on low carbon materials and environmental sustainability. We advised across a range of disciplines for the planning and construction of two new buildings – a 1,500m², two-storey teaching cluster and sports hall and a 330m² nursery/reception block. Our multidisciplinary team worked closely with Stonewood Design to deliver the client’s aspiration for modern, welcoming buildings that not only preserve Kingswood’s unique identity but also fit sympathetically into the surrounding landscape.

A multidisciplinary team from across Buro Happold played a key role in the realisation of Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium at White Hart Lane. As part of the landmark redevelopment of the site, Buro Happold was also appointed to provide structural, MEP and facade engineering advice in relation to the Grade II-listed Warmington House, one of the best kept examples of Georgian construction in London. Warmington House was in the Heritage At Risk register before this transformational project fully restored the fabric and facades of the historic building and integrated it sympathetically into the new development.

‘Sandbox’ so far: Revisiting thought-provoking ideas on what could be done to roll back some of the negative impact human activity has had on the Earth’s ecosystem... Over the last three episodes, we have explored some of the main aspects of the fundamentals of life within the built environment; from water and its management in the UK, to biodiversity and re-greening our cities, and finally, to our third episode, which explores energy sources. The panels discussed what has led us to this crucial turning point, and what the future of truly sustainable energy could look like, without further damaging the only planet we have! Our latest episode ‘Life’s Essentials: Water, Power and Plants’ covers unmissable moments explored in each episode so far, from why we’ve got to where we are now, what local authorities, professionals and even the individual can contribute to improving the situation we find ourselves in now. We each have a certain responsibility in this process, even tiny changes of habits build exponentially with more people involved. Our experts and guests examine and propose potential solutions to the various challenges we face today. This episode features our Buro Happold experts; Technical Director Duncan Ker-Reid and Associate Louise Clarke, Biodiversity lead Aaron Grainger, and Partner Colin Byrne, and cities energy Associate Directors Ben Jones and Maddie McTaggart. Our external guests include Dr. Tom McNamara - leading scientist and founder of FreeUP, Tamsin Westhorpe, horticulturalist and leading figure in garden media, as well as a RHS Judge - and finally, Professor Iwan Rhys Morus - author, science historian and professor of history. And of course, this episode features our regular host, Andy Duncan, who concludes this episode saying: “With ingenious future thinking and repurposing of the past, we might not be too late. Listen to the episode for all the unmissable moments, we all in this together – whether we work in the built environment or, as individuals want ideas of how we can do our bit to pass this world on to the next generations to create a better world focused on better water management, nature based solutions and more sustainable energy outputs. Here’s a helpful navigation list to the full episode below: 9:12 - Reimagining urban spaces and the role of nature. 12:37 - Water management solutions in urban areas. 13:31 - A multi-source approach to energy transition. 16:48 - Challenges and potential of the Electrify Everything Strategy 20:02 - Pros and cons of a two-tier water system. 27:20 - Nature-based solutions and multifunctional infrastructure. 29:47 - The power of collective curiosity in inciting real change.

Buro Happold helped to create a vision for a sustainable new urban neighbourhood for the Tempelhof quarter of Berlin – developing measures to minimise CO2 emissions and ensure the circular use of resources for the 10-hectare development, which will deliver new housing and modernise and expand public facilities around Tempelhof town hall. The sustainability and urban planning team at Buro Happold compared the environmental impacts of different scenarios over a lifecycle of 50 years. This included a comparison between the benefits of reusing existing structures against demolition with new construction in terms of overall carbon intensity.

Buro Happold is proud to contribute to the first “Industry Collections” list of low-carbon building materials on Europe’s leading materials data platform revalu. A number of companies in the building industry such as architects, planners, developers and contractors were approached to compile a list of nature-based and emerging building materials that they may have already used in projects or materials that they are generally interested in using. Our engineers Joanna Hedley-Smith, Anika Buchmaier and Felicitas L. were involved in the project, with support from Jonathan Roynon, Technical Director at Buro Happold Bath. revalu is an open online materials database. The main goal of the platform is to make data-driven decisions more accessible across the industry, sharing knowledge, references and best practice to accelerate the path towards a low-carbon future. It helps professionals from the building industry who are considering using low-carbon alternatives to conventional building materials to find, compare and specify them. The list launches today and it shows a collection of materials that we have either successfully used in projects or are interested in learning more about in the future. Follow the link to explore: https://lnkd.in/e7-RSkfP And if you are interested in more information about the future of bio-based building materials, we recommend our article "𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?" https://buro.im/3WZnfhz Image: Mario Hoesel/Adobe Stock Arup | Dissing+Weitling | Henning Larsen | KHR Architecture | Nrep | Søren Jensen #burohappold #engineering #revalu #buildingindustry #materials #construction

Buro Happold’s multidisciplinary team is working closely with architects KPF to support the development of highly flexible designs for One North Quay, which will be Europe’s largest and most technologically advanced commercial speculative life sciences building. This vertical laboratory campus at Canary Wharf sets ambitious sustainability targets and will become an iconic presence at the heart of North Quay. We were engaged to deliver specialist consultancy around building services engineering (MEP), sustainability, ICT and laboratory planning. The development is a joint venture between Canary Wharf Group and specialist laboratory developer Kadans Science Partner. The client wanted the project to be a showcase of sustainability – achieving net zero carbon in line with UKGBC, working to the design-for-performance guidance of NABERS certification for operational energy, as well as meeting all the latest GLA requirements around embodied carbon and circular economy considerations.

Are developers getting a fair deal when it comes to connecting via Distribution Network Operators (DNOs)? Chris Glover, Director of the Total Utilities Management Team, talks to Utility Week about the current rules around connections and calls for a consistent application of these in order to level the playing field for developers. This includes revisiting the changes under Ofgem’s Access SCR and the Connections Action Plan – specifically what’s working and not. He references an example where Buro Happold saved a customer £200,000 because the policy of that particular DNO meant that this figure was the difference in the cost they quoted and the cheapest option. “The DNO has a legal obligation to present customers with the cheapest solution. Yet prices vary and for no logical reason because the cost of electricity is the same. This means considering a full reform of DNO policies to ensure that developers are quoted the same price, regardless of where they are in the country. This is an area where our knowledge and experience is particularly helpful.” Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/gn3YhDCv For more information or to get some of your development connection questions answered, contact Chris Glover or Will Ryan #utilities #electricityconnections #development #builtenvironment

How can we all work together for a more equitable energy future in the UK? And what can the individual actually do? Find out what’s in our ‘Power’ in this week’s ‘Sandbox’ FOMO5… The final FOMO5 from our third ‘Sandbox’ episode, ‘Powering On – Energy: Past, Present and Future’, explores what we as individuals can do to make a difference to how the UK could be powered. Renewables make up 40% of electricity in the UK, with many people already making more sustainable energy choices. Buro Happold experts Maddie McTaggart and Ben Jones discuss the changes they have made in their own lives, from heat pumps to solar panels and EVs. A key theme throughout this episode, was that it’s not ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to energy use and production. Professor Iwan Rhys Morus said: “I grew up watching Star Trek and things like that. I mean, I'm still waiting for my jet pack being able to fly around everywhere! That's what I was promised as a kid watching TV.” Maddie called for more education to help better understand the difference that we can all make to change the course of our current energy consumption, which ultimately needs collective effort from everyone. Maddie said: “For example, in my house, we've got nine solar panels, which if you're not using them, feed into the grid. So, the grid gets the green energy. But what I have done is utilised that energy to heat up the water as a priority and then use it, and if not, I'll give it back to the grid.” Iwan concluded, saying: “We can only create equitable energy futures ourselves, for ourselves.” This episode features Buro Happold engineering experts Maddie McTaggart and Ben Jones, special guest professor and published author, Iwan Rhys Morus, plus, of course, our inimitable host Andy Duncan.
