Bespoke partitioning designed to withstand structural movement.
THE CLIENT.
This project was undertaken for a global financial services company with a long and distinguished pedigree. One of the world’s most recognisable investment management brands, it has offices in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.
THE CHALLENGE.
Architect tp bennett was commissioned to design the interior of the company’s London HQ in the Paddington. The fit-out comprised 263 offices across eight floors of a contemporary building. The design of the partitions needed to be contemporary and minimalist, while different parts of the installation required specific acoustic ratings.
The main challenge faced by the architects was the building’s significant vertical and lateral deflection. Any partitioning system had to be designed to handle +/- 40mm deflection as well as a +/- 15mm vertical deflection where the glazing met the façade. In short, the system needed to be able to move with the building.
The project was further complicated by perimeter secondary glazing that opened inwards, so all perimeter abutments needed to be designed with this factored in. The final partitioning systems had to be designed to take all these requirements into account.
