Foster + Partners ha completado la construcción del edificio sustentable para PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, el cual está provisto de 10 pisos.
Ubicado en la ciudad de Londres, el dificio posee una serie de estrategias que promueven el ahorro de energía; además de una fachada de alto rendimiento diseñada para ofrecer sombra y aislamiento; tiene paneles solares para proporcionar agua caliente, techos verdes y gestión del edificio totalmente automatizada.
Visibles desde todas partes, el edificio no tiene un frente, de modo particular, se ha prestado atención a la fachada en torno a una presencia distintiva en el plan maestro. La fachada en zig-zag permiten que la luz del día penetre, mientras que una secuencia de persianas exteriores anima la fachada acristalada, la captura y la proyecta de luz y colores en el interior, creando así un efecto brillante en la piel exterior del edificio.
Final building at More London achieves BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating
Foster + Partners has completed the first office building in England to achieve the BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ accreditation. 7 More London Riverside is the final and largest building within the More London masterplan, developed by More London Development, and provides a new 10-storey, sustainable headquarters for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
The building incorporates a range of energy saving strategies. In addition to a high-performance façade designed to offer shade and insulation, the building features solar hot water panels, green roofs and fully automated building management and metering systems. A Combined Cooling Heating & Power (CCHP) trigeneration plant provides a low carbon source of cooling, heat and power and has resulted in 55% less CO2 emissions than that required under the 2006 Part L2 Building Regulations.
Visible from all sides, the building does not have an obvious ‘front’ or ‘back’, so particular consideration has been given to the façade in assuming a distinctive presence within the masterplan. The zig-zag facades screen the interiors but allow daylight to penetrate the office floors. A sequence of external louvres animate the glazed facades, capturing and projecting light and colours inside and creating a sparkling effect on the building’s outer skin. More>>
