The design of a complete new environment for Buro Happold’s central London office brings with it a challenge to embody an ever-changing working culture. The shift of emphasis from ‘office’ to ‘studio’ enables the process of engineering to be celebrated, along with the final achievement of the built product. Buro Happold is responsible for some of the most innovative structural and environmental engineering intelligence in the world, much of which was ‘under wraps’ in the old office.
Tested on working prototype areas, a new hierarchy of working, designing, meeting and conference areas contribute to the day-to-day working pattern where communication between disciplines is paramount and truly integrated engineering solutions are born.
