Grade A office development, Aurora, at Bristol\u2019s Finzel\u2019s Reach, is the perfect example of design and sustainability working seamlessly to create a striking architectural landmark using the latest technology from architectural aluminium systems\u2019 firm, Metal Technology. The seven storey 95,000 sq ft building features a stunning glass atrium, basement car and bicycle parking with electric vehicle charging points, plus five upper levels of accommodation.<\/p>\n
With a key focus on sustainability, Aurora is the first BREEAM 2014 Outstanding rated office outside of London, achieving a score of 91% and one of only eight BREEAM outstanding offices in the UK.<\/p>\n
Utilising Metal Technology\u2019s System 17HR curtain walling on all elevations, this impressive office development not only meets high sustainability standards, it also delivers a striking aesthetic. Particular attention was paid to the south elevation where a bespoke brise soleil system was introduced using purpose designed bracketry to carry the opaque glass blades.\u00a0 The building also utilised Metal technology\u2019s 5-20D Hi+ doors and 4-35Hi+ casement windows from their thermal range offering high levels of weathering, thermal and security performance.<\/p>\n
Alex Roberts, Sustainability Manager at Willmott Dixon, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cA healthy building environment helps create a happier and more productive workforce. With this in mind, optimised thermal comfort, high acoustic performance and glare control which allows natural light to connect the building\u2019s users with the outside, were all achieved within the design of Aurora.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n All Metal Technology systems are designed to perform seamlessly together to deliver the desired aesthetic and performance standards. Used individually or together, they offer complete design flexibility for creative aesthetics with the assurance of value engineered structural, weather and security performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Grade A office development, Aurora, at Bristol\u2019s Finzel\u2019s Reach, is the perfect example of design and sustainability working seamlessly to create a striking architectural landmark using the latest technology from architectural aluminium systems\u2019 firm, Metal Technology.
