THE BRYDEN WOOD PERSPECTIVE: PAUL O'NEILL.
‘Yes, we encourage people to come to the socials to network and mingle.We throw two big parties per year in the atrium or the courtyard,’ says Kristi, ‘or sometimes we’ll just book a table in the local pub or our cafe.’ And it’s not just socials and yoga on offer, the management team are also looking to offer business help and guidance to the residents, ‘We’ve got a free talk coming up next week by a business coach, which will be great for the startups.
We’re also actively trying to encourage skill sharing.’.Great Western Studios really is the epitome of what a modern workspace should deliver to its occupants, from its light-filled, five-storey central atrium and chic industrial design, all the way through to its sense of community and focus on the wellness of the hard-working people within.Kristi tells me, ‘People always come to Reception and say, ‘’Oh my God.
This is amazing.I didn’t know this building was here.’’ It’s such a beautiful space.’.
CHRIS TROTMAN & ANNA BURLES, RUN FOR THE HILLS.
‘West is Best,’ says Chris Trotman, Creative Director of.Our approach at Bryden Wood is rooted in a Design to Value methodology.
We dismantle a process rigorously until we reduce it to its smallest components.Then we call on a breadth and depth of expertise to optimise every component, so that when we combine them in the complete solution, the whole will operate to the maximum efficiency of all of its parts.. We use construction technology to create a digital model of every component, containing as much value data as we can source, ranging from energy consumption to physical space requirements to expected lifespan to cost.
In the digital design environment, we experiment with a huge number of permutations of components, introducing variables, then measuring, iterating and refining, over and again..Adopting this Design to Value approach, enables us to see how small changes in one component can have a dramatic consequence at a later stage.
