Consolidating Multiple Offices into a New Modern Workplace

Located along the Weser River, close to many amenities, including shops, restaurants and other office buildings, the attractive and distinctive design of the ‘ONE’ building fits perfectly into its environment. The building aims to achieve Silver level certification of the German Sustainable Building Association (DGNB), which stands for quality, energy and cost efficiency as well as a holistic, future-oriented development.

In addition to the traditional tasks of project management, one of WSP’s roles was to safeguard the interests of the tenant, ensuring that their requirements were taken into account by the developer during design and construction. Thanks to the tenant’s early involvement, the project goals and quality standards were fixed at an early stage and then successfully integrated into the design. It was also important to reconcile the corporate guidelines for the new workplace concept with the occupant needs.

Reviewing MEP designs to ensure environmental comfort

Our multidisciplinary expertise enabled us to provide the client with comprehensive advisory services. For example, we undertook a review of the MEP design to ensure compliance with the high demands regarding the indoor environmental quality. As a construction controller, we ensured the implementation of tenant requirements during the construction process.

The result is a modern office building with very high standards regarding environmental comfort, which also considered the latest developments in office building design.
