Services
Data Centre Design
Specialist architectural solutions for data centres combining technical precision with environmental responsibility. We create secure, scalable facilities that meet hyperscale to colocation requirements while reducing carbon footprint through fabric-first design principles and ISO-certified processes. Our expertise spans from initial feasibility studies to final construction documentation.
BIM Modelling
Comprehensive Building Information Modelling services following ISO 19650 standards. Our BIM implementation improves project coordination, reduces errors, and enhances sustainability outcomes through integrated workflows. We leverage real-time design feedback tools to optimise thermal performance and solar panel placement while maintaining strict data management protocols.
Sustainability Consultancy
Net Zero-aligned environmental guidance covering embodied carbon analysis, urban greening strategies, and certification support. We utilise BS EN 15978 life cycle assessment methods and our proprietary ECMat tool to track emissions across all project phases, helping clients achieve BREEAM/LEED targets while minimising environmental impact.
Feasibility Studies
Detailed architectural evaluations for data centre locations including site layouts, building massing, and environmental impact assessments. Our studies incorporate 3D imaging and design metrics to maximise site potential, supported by stakeholder engagement and planning authority coordination for both urban and rural developments.
CGI Visualisation
High-quality computer-generated imagery services enhancing project communication through photorealistic renders and interactive experiences. Our in-house team creates accurate visual representations at all design stages, improving client understanding and facilitating planning approvals through immersive visual storytelling techniques.
