CHISWICK
BUSINESS PARK NAMED UK'S BEST OFFICE DEVELOPMENT
The
Chiswick Business Park development has been
named as the UK's best office developments
for 2002. The project scooped three of the
awards in this year's British Council for Offices
(BCO) Awards and has been selected, out of
the sixty-two entries, as the winner of the
BCO's top award - Best of the Best. It has
also won the national award in the Commercial
Workplace category and taken the regional award
for the best commercial workplace within the
M25.
Designed
by Richard Rogers and Stanhope (the developer
behind projects such as Stockley Park, Broadgate
and Mid-City Place), the scheme will eventually
comprise some 1.15 million sq ft of office
space, accommodating some 10,000 employees.
Organisations currently based within the park
include Foxtons, One.Tel (Centrica), Teletext
and France Telecom.
The
BCO judges said that Chiswick Park just lifts
itself ahead of the other schemes which received
awards this year because of the breadth of
fronts upon which they felt it scores. "From
the enterprise involved in identifying the
opportunity and commissioning its development,
through design and construction, to the level
of service to tenants, it displays the touch
of a practised client who continues to innovate
without gimmick, and to pay attention to the
full life cycle of a development project."
The
project was praised for its commitment to sustainability
which was said to be served by site location
(opposite the underground station and on several
bus routes), by the use of fixed and adjustable
solar shading, and by displacement ventilation
delivered through floor grilles, reducing the
overall cooling load.
