The need for wired ethernet and the development of CAT standards is driving larger service voids (bigger, more expensive lab buildings) which in turn restricts flexibility and adaptability..

Khalifa adds, ‘We’re really young in our profession and are forever learning, so it’s great to see how Bryden Wood have dealt with the Retrofit sympathetically.It’s great to see how they have attempted to do things we wouldn’t have thought of.’.

THE BRYDEN WOOD PERSPECTIVE: PAUL O'NEILL.When embarking on the project to reimagine and develop the building into Great Western Studios, we knew ‘the constraints of the build would be its making,’ says Bryden Wood Board Director, Architecture,.The aim was to create a great building that would respond to its context/environment and that is certainly what Bryden Wood have achieved.

The initial challenges posed by the building’s proximity to the Westway and Grand Union canal, as well as the limited site space for construction, have birthed a space of both aesthetic and functional dynamic, equally capable of fulfilling its practical goal of providing creative office spaces to West London creative businesses..According to O’Neill, the biggest challenge of the project was the building of phase 2 over the fully occupied, existing (phase 1) building.

He says that whilst knowing the building would be in use by creative industries did give a sense of freedom regarding the design, ‘it was clear that the building needed to deliver value to ensure we created affordable workspaces.’ These, he notes, are still in shortage in West London.

‘It’s stylish yet affordable,’ he says of GWS, ‘and a perfect contrast to the generic, co-working businesses which have established themselves over the past five or so years.’ The ground floor studios are ideal for startups, whilst an upper-story, canal-side unit makes an excellent workspace for an office of 20 plus.. O’Neill loves the diverse collection of creatives and businesses the building has attracted and says he’s ‘glad it has provided GWS and its tenants with a safe, welcoming, happy environment which is conducive to hard, serious and creative business.’ From an architectural perspective, his favourite thing about the building is the gentle curve alongside the canal side elevation.‘Since leaving school I have learnt so much and I am only going to continue to learn.

I feel I would not have come this far if I were to only stay on at sixth form.It does not restrict any chances of going into university and you may even get some support from the company when wanting to achieve a degree...

I will be in no debt.’.To find out how Bryden Wood can help you fulfill your career aspirations, visit the.
