Services
Data Centre Architecture
Specialist architectural solutions for mission-critical data centres, combining technical precision with sustainability. Our designs optimise energy efficiency through fabric-first principles and passive design strategies. We address security, scalability, and compliance with international standards while minimising environmental impact through material innovation and carbon management frameworks.
Sustainability Consultancy
Comprehensive environmental strategy development aligned with Net Zero targets. Services include embodied carbon analysis using BS EN 15978 standards, BREEAM/LEED certification support, and urban greening implementation. We employ proprietary tools like ECMat for material benchmarking and provide annual sustainability reporting against GHG Protocol metrics.
BIM Services
End-to-end BIM implementation following ISO 19650 standards. Our workflows enhance collaboration, reduce construction waste, and improve data accuracy across project lifecycles. We leverage BIM for cost-efficiency analysis, clash detection, and integrating sustainability metrics into early-stage design decisions for both new builds and retrofits.
CGI Visualisation
Photorealistic architectural visualisations supporting planning approvals and stakeholder engagement. Our in-house team creates interactive VR experiences, photomontages, and construction-phase visual aids. These tools facilitate design iteration, improve client understanding of spatial qualities, and streamline communication with planning authorities.
Feasibility Studies
Strategic assessments evaluating site potential for data centre development. We produce comparative layouts, massing studies, and planning compliance analyses across urban and rural contexts. Our studies incorporate logistical considerations, environmental constraints, and ESG requirements to inform investment decisions and maximise development value.
