ST GEORGE’S HELIPAD - TOOTING, SOUTH LONDON

Butler and Young were privileged to work on this innovative £4 million project with St George’s Health Trust and Millers Construction. This is the capitals second hospital helipad measuring 25 metres by 25 metres. It is located on the rooftop of the hospital’s St James Wing, five stories up, and has direct lift access to the accident and emergency department.

We worked alongside our sister company Trenton Fire to establish a specialised criteria for this project, which had to consider the functionality of the helipad and for the hospital to be able to perform mattress evacuation. We also helped them ensure that fire and safety measures were incorporated, especially lighting design.

H e a l t h c a r eTESCO.COM - ERITH, KENT

Once again we are delighted to have been involved in a fast paced commercial development for a major client. The scheme involved a high level of mechanical and engineering involvement to achieve the high degree of sophistication within the building.

These developments are fast paced and need to meet strict deadlines which Butler and Young deliver. The ancillary buildings associated with these developments are vehicle maintenance units (VMU) and form part of the overall contract. We helped and guided in the evaluation of means of escape to demonstrate compliance with BS9999 which gave the designer greater flexibility in maximising useable space within the units.

I c o n i cBONHAMS AUCTIONEERS - BOND STREET, LONDON

It was a privilege to work on the new international headquarters for the world’s oldest and largest auctioneer’s house. We collaborated on this £30 million renovation with the design team led by Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands Architects. We helped the design team to meet theirs and the client’s aspirations for the design with regards to the application of the building regulations on this complex Grade II listed Art Deco building.

There were many planning constraints, and internally the building was transformed to create an 18.5 metre high atrium with 3 large double height auction rooms as well as associated office space, whilst retaining the historic façade on Bond Street and creating the modern glass exterior surrounding Haunch of Vension Yard.

Butler and Young have worked closely with Eric Parry Architects on a purpose-built Music School at Brighton College.Eric Parry have an excellent reputation for working on cultural projects and Butler and Young are immensely proud to have worked with the design and construction team on this project.

The Music School provides a great experience for pupils, staff and audiences in a dramatic double height recital room for rehearsal and performance with a seating capacity of 150. The scheme also includes music practice and teaching rooms, a recording control room and percussion and rock rooms.

E d u c a t i o nHERTFORD REGIONAL COLLEGE - BROXBOURNE

The work at the Broxbourne campus was part of a £63 million upgrade of the college’s facilities where three new buildings were constructed and internal alterations were carried out. The new main building was designed as a major new pavilion set within the landscape to provide a highly visible landmark while at the same time integrating with the other buildings to create a coherent campus.

Our involvement matched the programme of phased completions and ensured that suitable means of access and egress from each building was provided to allow a final certificate to be issued for each prior to handover.

C o m m u n i t yMUCKING VISITOR CENTRETHAMESIDE NATURE PARK CENTRE

Built on one of the largest landfills in England, this former site has provided an innovative and sustainable design centre with superb views over Mucking Flats and the Thames Estuary. Sir David Attenborough officially opened the 120-acre nature park on Saturday 11 May 2013.

We provided guidance throughout the project lifecycle on regulatory health and safety compliance working with Essex Trust and London based Van Heyningen and Hawards Architects, helping them meet their brief of following an environmental approach to conserve heat and facilitate natural ventilation.

THE ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE

We have had many opportunities to work with the Ministry of Justice on numerous projects, including the Royal Courts of Justice and HMP Brixton.

Achieving compliance with court and custodial buildings is always a challenge due to conflicts between security, fire safety and means of escape. We have a wealth of experience of such projects and an in-depth knowledge and expertise of the MoJ Design Guides & Procedures which enables Butler and Young to offer valuable assistance to design teams.
